I. Abstract
II. Method of Collection
This request is for an extension of a
current information collection.
eLandings and seaLandings are data
entry components of the Alaska
Interagency Electronic Reporting System
(IERS) which is a collaborative program
run by National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) Alaska Regional Office,
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
(ADF&G), and the International Pacific
Halibut Commission (IPHC). eLandings
and seaLandings provide the Alaska
fishing industry with a consolidated
electronic means of reporting
production and landings of commercial
fish and shellfish to multiple
management agencies with a single
reporting system. NMFS collects
groundfish harvest and production data
for Fishery Management Plan species in
the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
ADF&G collects harvest data for
groundfish species taken in the State of
Alaska waters, and has responsibility for
some fisheries in the EEZ, such as
lingcod and black rockfish. ADF&G and
NMFS cooperatively manage the Crab
Rationalization Program (CR) fisheries
in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area. NMFS and IPHC
cooperatively manage Individual
Fishing Quota (IFQ) for Pacific halibut
and sablefish in both State waters and
in the EEZ.
Using the eLandings Web-based
application, shoreside processors report
groundfish, crab, Pacific halibut, and
sablefish production and landings data
(https://www.elandings.alaska.gov).
Processors with no Web access, such as
the at-sea fleet, use eLandings client
desktop software named seaLandings,
provided by NMFS, and submit landing
reports as email attachments. Once data
are entered and submitted, the User
daily must print onsite through
eLandings each landing report,
production report, and if an IFQ
delivery, each IFQ receipt. The parties
to the information must acknowledge
the accuracy of the printed reports by
signing them and entering date signed.
In addition, the User must make the
printed copies available upon request of
NMFS observers and authorized
officers.
Some of the benefits of IERS include:
improved data quality, automated
processing of data, improved process for
correcting or updating information,
availability of more timely data for
fishery managers, and reduction of
duplicative reporting of similar
information to multiple agencies.
Methods of submittal include online
and email. Clients with no Web access,
such as the at-sea fleet, use seaLandings
client desktop software and submit
landing reports as email attachments.
The vessels use satellite
communications which may or may not
include telephone, Internet, text
messaging, email, and email attachment
capabilities.
