Burden Hours: 695.
Needs and Uses: The North Pacific
Fishery Management Council (Council)
has developed several cooperative
programs as options in larger catch
share programs for the federally
managed fisheries off Alaska. As part of
these cooperative programs, the Council
has either recommended that the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) require the cooperative
managers to submit an annual written
report detailing various activities of the
cooperative, or the Council has
requested that cooperative managers
voluntarily submit an annual report to
the Council. These reports are intended
to be a resource for the Council and the
public to track the effectiveness of the
cooperative and its ability to meet the
Council’s goals. Additionally, they are a
tool for the cooperatives to provide
feedback on a catch share program and
how the cooperative element is
functioning.
In general, the cooperative managers
present the cooperative reports during
the April Council meeting. Regulations
do not require cooperative managers to
present cooperative reports to the
Council; however, they are encouraged
to do so, and this has been common
practice for many cooperative
representatives. Public dissemination of
the annual cooperative reports and
presentation of an overview of the
reports at the April Council meeting
each year provides stakeholders and
members of the public the opportunity
to provide public comment to the
Council about the cooperatives and the
catch share programs.
Some of the cooperative annual
reports are required in Federal
regulation and others are requested by
the Council as a voluntary annual

submission. This information collection
covers both the mandatory and
voluntary components of the
cooperative annual reports.
This information collection contains
the following reports.
• The Alaska Crab Rationalization
Program Cooperative Annual Report
allows the Council to determine if the
cooperatives are taking adequate action
to facilitate the transfer of quota share
(QS) to active participants and control
QS lease rates, or if potential future
regulatory action may be needed to
address these concerns. This report is
voluntary.
• The Annual Rockfish Cooperative
Report provides information to the
Council and NMFS about how the catch
share program and its associated
cooperative elements are functioning.
This is particularly important as the
Council is evaluating reauthorization of
the Rockfish Program in 2019 and 2020.
This report is mandatory.
• The Annual Amendment 80
Cooperative Report provides
information to the Council and NMFS
about how the catch share program is
functioning, and if potential future
changes may be needed. This report is
mandatory.
• The Amendment 80 Halibut
Prohibited Species Catch (PSC)
Management Plan informs the Council
of an Amendment 80 cooperative’s plan
to use voluntary, non-regulatory
methods to avoid halibut bycatch in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI)
groundfish fisheries. This report is
voluntary.
• The Amendment 80 Halibut
Bycatch Avoidance Progress Report
allows each sector in the BSAI
groundfish fisheries to inform the
Council of its progress on voluntary,
non-regulatory methods used within its
fishery cooperatives to avoid halibut
bycatch in the BSAI groundfish
fisheries. This report is voluntary.
• The American Fisheries Act (AFA)
Catcher Vessel Inter-cooperative
Agreement provides information to
NMFS, the Council, and the public
about inter-cooperative fishery
allocations, PSC allocations, transfers of
allocations and PSC, monitoring
methods, and bycatch reduction
methods. This report is voluntary.
• The American Fisheries Act Annual
Catcher Vessel Inter-cooperative Report
provides detailed information about
how sideboard limits and PSC are being
used to determine if program objectives
are being satisfactorily met; provides the
Council and the public with a simple
means of evaluating the AFA catcher
vessel fleets’ aggregate fishing
performance under the AFA regulations;
E:\FR\FM\10DEN1.SGM
10DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 237 / Tuesday, December 10, 2019 / Notices
and provides a broader understanding of
catcher vessel cooperative activities.
This report is voluntary.
• The American Fisheries Act
Cooperative Annual Report provides
information to the Council about how
each cooperative allocated pollock,
other groundfish species, and prohibited
species among the vessels in the
cooperative; the catch of these species
by area by each vessel in the
cooperative; information about how the
cooperative monitored fishing by its
members; and a description of any
actions taken by the cooperative to
penalize vessels that exceeded the catch
and prohibited species catch allocations
made to the vessel by the cooperative.
The purpose of this report is to provide
the Council with information about the
on-going operations and performance of
the cooperatives on which to base its
decisions about management of the
Bering Sea pollock fishery. This report
is mandatory.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Reports are
voluntary or mandatory as specified in
each report’s description above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Gulf of Mexico, South Atlantic,
and Caribbean Fishery Management
Councils, in conjunction with NOAA
Fisheries and the Atlantic and Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commissions
have implemented the Southeast Data,
Assessment and Review (SEDAR)
process, a multi-step method for
determining the status of fish stocks in
the Southeast Region. SEDAR is a multistep process including: (1) Data
Workshop, (2) a series of assessment
webinars, and (3) A Review Workshop.
The product of the Data Workshop is a
report that compiles and evaluates
potential datasets and recommends
which datasets are appropriate for
assessment analyses. The assessment
webinars produce a report that describes
the fisheries, evaluates the status of the
stock, estimates biological benchmarks,
projects future population conditions,
and recommends research and
monitoring needs. The product of the
Review Workshop is an Assessment
Summary documenting panel opinions
regarding the strengths and weaknesses
of the stock assessment and input data.
Participants for SEDAR Workshops are
appointed by the Gulf of Mexico, South
Atlantic, and Caribbean Fishery
Management Councils and NOAA
Fisheries Southeast Regional Office,
HMS Management Division, and
Southeast Fisheries Science Center.
Participants include data collectors and
database managers; stock assessment
scientists, biologists, and researchers;
constituency representatives including
fishermen, environmentalists, and
NGO’s; International experts; and staff

The items of discussion during the
Assessment Webinar are as follows:
1. Using datasets and initial
assessment analysis recommended from
the in-person workshop, panelists will
employ assessment models to evaluate
stock status, estimate population
benchmarks and management criteria,
and project future conditions.
2. Participants will recommend the
most appropriate methods and
configurations for determining stock
status and estimating population
parameters.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
section 305(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, provided the public has been
notified of the intent to take final action
to address the emergency.
