In January 2011, the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration’s
(NOAA) National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) implemented a trawl
rationalization program, a catch share
program, for the Pacific coast groundfish
fishery’s trawl fleet. The program was
developed through Amendment 20 to
the Groundfish Fishery Management
Plan (FMP), under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and consists of an
individual fishing quota (IFQ) program
for the shorebased trawl fleet (including
whiting and non-whiting fisheries); and
cooperative (coop) programs for the atsea mothership (MS) and catcher/
processor (C/P) trawl fleets (whiting
only). Fixed allocations to the limited
entry trawl fleet were developed
through a parallel process with
Amendment 21 to the FMP. The
regulations implementing the program
were effective January 1, 2011; all of the
necessary tracking systems to make the
program operational became active on
January 11, 2011, the date fishing began
under the new program. Since that time,
the Council and NMFS have been
addressing implementation issues as
they arise. To achieve individual
accountability for catch and bycatch and
track total catch, the shorebased IFQ
Program is subject to 100 percent
monitoring both at-sea and dockside. In
addition to 100 percent monitoring atsea, motherships and catcher/processors
are subject to flow scale requirements
that include daily testing, reporting, and
an annual inspection.

Several of the information collections
have been merged into other

collection has decreased.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: Daily, weekly, on
occasion, annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
