<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 1, 2020 / Notices
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), and
the Small Business Administration’s
regulations implementing the RFA,
Executive Order 12898, and the
‘‘fairness and equitable distribution’’
provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act, including NS4 and section
303(b)(6). The purpose of revising the
Dealer Landing Transaction Report is to
better inform participants in the Gulf
IFQ programs and require an additional
verification from them when the
existing flexibility measure of a 10
percent overage of their allocation
would occur.
If implemented by NMFS, these
administrative revisions would slightly
increase the estimated time per response
to complete the IFQ Online Account
Application. NMFS estimates the time
per response would increase from 10 to
13 minutes. However, the estimated
time per response for the Dealer
Landing Transaction Report is not
expected to change. The cost of both the
IFQ Online Account Application and
the Dealer Landing Transaction Report
would remain the same. NMFS proposes
no other revisions to the existing
information collections for the IFQ and
ITQ programs approved in OMB Control
No. 0648–0551.

II. Method of Collection
Information for the Gulf red snapper,
and grouper and tilefish IFQ programs
is collected electronically via a webbased system, through satellite-linked
vessel monitoring systems, through a
24-hour call line, and with paper form
submission for landing corrections,
closing an account, and account
applications, as well as landing
transactions under catastrophic
circumstances. The proposed revision
would not change the methods currently
used to collect information.
The share transfer process in the
wreckfish ITQ program requires the
signatures of witnesses on paper forms.
The wreckfish ITQ program remains
paper-based until the South Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and
NMFS consider whether to implement
an electronic system. NMFS is not
proposing to change the wreckfish ITQ
program or information collection.

I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, is
requesting renewal of this currently
approved information collection that
consists of paper logbooks and reports
used for management of the groundfish
fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area (BSAI) and
the Gulf of Alaska (GOA); for
management of the Individual Fishing
Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries;
and for management of the BSAI Crab
Rationalization Program crab fisheries.
NMFS, Alaska Region, manages the
groundfish and crab fisheries in the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the
BSAI and the groundfish fisheries of the
GOA under fishery management plans
(FMPs) for the respective areas. The
North Pacific Fishery Management
Council prepared, and NMFS approved,
the FMPs under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq. Regulations implementing the
FMPs appear at 50 CFR parts 679 and
680. Regulations for the logbooks and
reports in this information collection are
at 50 CFR 679.5.
The information collected through the
paper logbooks and reports promotes
the goals and objectives of the fishery
management plans, the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, and other applicable
laws. The collection of reliable data is
essential to the effective conservation,
management, and scientific
understanding of the fishery resources.
Collecting information from fishery
participants is necessary to promote
successful management of groundfish,
crab, Pacific halibut, and salmon
resources. A comprehensive information
system that identifies the participants
and monitors their fishing activity is
necessary to enforce the management

measures and prevent overfishing. An
information system is also needed to
measure the consequences of
management controls. This collection
supports an effective monitoring and
enforcement system with information
that includes identification of the
participating vessels, operators, dealers,
and processors; location of the fishing
activity; timeframes when fishing and
processing is occurring; and shipment
and transfer of fishing products.
All vessels of the United States
harvesting EEZ fish and shoreside
processors, stationary floating
processors (SFPs), and motherships
receiving EEZ-caught fish are required
to hold a Federal permit and thus
comply with reporting requirements per
CFR 679.5. The data collected are used
for making in-season and inter-season
management decisions that affect the
groundfish resources and the fishing
industry that uses them.
This information collection contains
four components: Paper logbooks, vessel
activity reports, check-in/check-out
reports, and product transfer reports.
• Daily logbooks provide data about
the location and timing of fishing effort,
as well as discard information of
prohibited species. NOAA Office for
Law Enforcement (OLE) and the United
States Coast Guard (USCG) use logbook
information during vessel boardings and
site visits to ensure conservation of
groundfish, compliance with
regulations, and reporting accuracy by
the fishing industry. The logbooks are
also an important source of information
for NMFS to determine where and when
fishing activity occurs and the number
of sets and hauls.
• A vessel activity report provides
information about fish or fish product
on board a vessel when it crosses the
boundary of the EEZ off Alaska or
crosses the U.S.—Canada international
boundary between Alaska and British
Columbia. NOAA OLE and USCG
boarding officers use this information to
audit and separate product inventory
when boarding a vessel. Without the
requirement to submit this prior to
crossing, vessel operators may be more
inclined to illegally fish in Federal
waters and claim retained product was
harvested from foreign or international
waters.
• Check-in/check-out reports provide
information on participation by
processors and motherships in the
groundfish fisheries. The check-in/
check-out information is used by NMFS
in-season managers to monitor the
fishing capacity and effort in fishery
allocations and quotas. Additionally,
NOAA OLE agents use this information
to track commercial business activity
