Submission for OMB Review;
Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Reporting Requirements for the
Ocean Salmon Fishery Off the Coasts of
Washington, Oregon, and California.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0433.
Form Number(s): NA.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 40.
Average Hours Per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 40.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
Based on the management regime
specified each year, designated
regulatory areas in the commercial
ocean salmon fishery off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon, and California
may be managed by numerical quotas.
To accurately assess catches relative to
quota attainment during the fishing
season, catch data by regulatory areas
must be collected in a timely manner.
Requirements to land salmon within
specific time frames and in specific
areas may be implemented in the
preseason regulations to aid in timely
and accurate catch accounting for a
regulatory area. State landing systems
normally gather the data at the time of
landing. If unsafe weather conditions or
mechanical problems prevent
compliance with landing requirements,
fishermen need an alternative to allow
for a safe response. Fishermen would be
exempt from landing requirements if the
appropriate notifications are made to
provide the name of the vessel, the port
where delivery will be made, the
approximate amount of salmon (by
species) on board, and the estimated
time of arrival.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.

The king and Tanner crab fisheries in
the exclusive economic zone of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, Alaska,
are managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs
(FMP). The North Pacific Fishery
Management Council prepared the FMP
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act as
amended in 2006. National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) manages the
crab fisheries in the waters off the coast
of Alaska under the FMP. Regulations
implementing the FMP and all
amendments to the Crab Rationalization
Program (CR Program) appear at 50 CFR
part 680. Program details are found at:
https://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/
regs/680/default.htm.
The CR Program balances the interests
of several groups who depend on the
crab fisheries. The CR Program
addresses conservation and
management issues associated with the
previous derby fishery, reduces bycatch
and associated discard mortality, and
increases the safety of crab fishermen by
ending the race for fish. Share
allocations to harvesters and processors,
together with incentives to participate
in fishery cooperatives, increases
efficiencies, provides economic
stability, and facilitates compensated
reduction of excess capacities in the
harvesting and processing sectors.
Community interests are protected by
Western Alaska Community
Development Quota allocations and
regional landing and processing
requirements, as well as by several
community protection measures.
The NMFS established the CR
Program as a catch share program for
nine crab fisheries in the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands (BSAI), and assigned
quota share (QS) to persons and
processor quota share (PQS) to
processors based on their historic
participation in one or more of these
nine crab fisheries during a specific
period. The CR Program components
include QS allocation, PQS allocation,
individual fishing quota (IFQ) issuance,
and individual processing quota (IPQ)
issuance, quota transfers, use caps, crab
harvesting cooperatives, protections for
