Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 16 / Friday, January 24, 2014 / Notices
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
This information collection describes
special permits issued to participants in
the Pacific halibut subsistence fishery in
waters off the coast of Alaska and any
appeals resulting from denials. The
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) designed the permits to work in
conjunction with other halibut harvest
assessment measures. Subsistence
fishing for halibut has occurred for
many years among the Alaska Native
people and non-Native people. Special
permits are initiated in response to the
concerns of Native and community
groups regarding increased restrictions
in International Pacific Halibut
Commission Area 2C and include
Community Harvest Permits,
Ceremonial Permits, and Educational
Permits.
A Community Harvest Permit allows
the community or Alaska Native tribe to
appoint one or more individuals from
its respective community or tribe to
harvest subsistence halibut from a single
vessel under reduced gear and harvest
restrictions. Ceremonial and
Educational Permits are available
exclusively to Alaska Native tribes.
Eligible Alaska Native tribes may
appoint only one Ceremonial Permit
Coordinator per tribe for Ceremonial
Permits or one authorized Instructor per
tribe for Educational Permits.
Except for enrolled students fishing
under a valid Educational Permit,
special permits require persons fishing
under them to also possess a
Subsistence Halibut Registration
Certificate (SHARC) (see OMB Control
No. 0648–0460) which identifies those
persons who are currently eligible for
subsistence halibut fishing. Each of the
instruments is designed to minimize the
reporting burden on subsistence halibut
fishermen while retrieving essential
information.
