Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of a currently
approved information collection.
The Rockfish Program determines the
access and allocation of the Central Gulf
of Alaska (GOA) rockfish fisheries and
associated halibut prohibited species
catch (PSC), also known as the rights of
access to the fishery. Cooperatives were
established to receive exclusive harvest
privileges for rockfish primary and
secondary species. These resource
allocations are used to assign the
available resources in an economic way.
In the case of halibut, a specific amount
of halibut mortality is assigned to the
cooperative, because halibut is often
caught incidentally with rockfish.
The rockfish fisheries are conducted
in Federal waters near Kodiak, Alaska,
primarily by trawl vessels, and to a
lesser extent by longline vessels. The
Rockfish Program allocates harvest
privileges to holders of License
Limitation Program (LLP) licenses with
a history of Central GOA rockfish
landings associated with those licenses.
Revision: Two forms that are no
longer applicable have been removed,
and one has been added.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
responsible for management of the
nation’s marine fisheries. In addition,
NMFS must comply with the Atlantic
Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16
U.S.C. 971 et seq.), which implements
the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
recommendations.
NMFS collects information via vessel
logbooks to monitor the U.S. catch of
Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and
tunas in relation to the quotas, thereby
ensuring that the United States complies
with its domestic and international
obligations. HMS logbooks are verified
using observer data that is collected
under OMB Control No. 0648–0593
(Observer Programs’ Information That
Can Be Gathered Only Through
Questions). In addition to HMS
fisheries, the HMS logbook is also used
to report catches of dolphin and wahoo
by commercial and charter/headboat
fisheries. The HMS logbooks collect
data on incidentally-caught species,
including sea turtles, which is necessary
to evaluate the fisheries in terms of
bycatch and encounters with protected
species. For both directed and
incidentally caught species, the
information supplied through vessel
logbooks also provides the catch and
effort data on a per-set or per-trip level
of resolution.
These data are necessary to assess the
status of highly migratory species,
dolphin, and wahoo in each fishery.
International stock assessments for
tunas, swordfish, billfish, and some
species of sharks are conducted and
presented to the ICCAT periodically and
provide, in part, the basis for ICCAT
management recommendations which
