Title: Alaska Region Logbook and Activity Family of Forms. OMB Control Number: 0648–0213. Form Number(s): None. Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current information collection). Number of Respondents: 282. Average Hours per Response: Catcher Vessel Trawl Daily Fishing Logbook (DFL): 18 minutes; Catcher Vessel Longline/Pot DFL: 35 minutes; Catcher/ Processor Longline/Pot Daily Cumulative Production Logbook: 50 minutes; Shoreside Processor Check-in/ Check-out Report: 5 minutes; Mothership Check-in/Check-out Report: 7 minutes; Product Transfer Report: 20 minutes; Vessel Activity Report: 14 minutes. Total Annual Burden Hours: 13,517 hours. Needs and Uses: NMFS, Alaska Region (NMFS AKR), is requesting renewal of this currently approved information collection that consists of paper logbooks and reports that are used for management of the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), management of the Individual Fishing Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries, and management of the BSAI Crab Rationalization Program crab fisheries. NMFS AKR 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 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 18517 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, 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/ E:\FR\FM\09APN1.SGM 09APN1 18518 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 67 / Friday, April 9, 2021 / Notices 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 and ensure accurate accountability and proper reporting is being performed. • Product transfer reports (PTRs) provide information on the volume of groundfish disposed of by persons buying it from the harvesters. The PTR is an important enforcement document and provides an important check on buyer purchase reports. Information collected on PTRs is used by NOAA OLE to verify the accuracy of reported shipments through physical inspections. NOAA OLE uses the PTR to monitor movement of product in and out of the processor on a timely basis. Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-profit organizations.

    Total Annual Burden Hours: 13,517 hours.
    Needs and Uses: NMFS, Alaska Region (NMFS AKR), is requesting 
renewal of this currently approved information collection that consists 
of paper logbooks and reports that are used for management of the 
groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management 
Area (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), management of the Individual 
Fishing Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries, and management of the 
BSAI Crab Rationalization Program crab fisheries.
    NMFS AKR 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 
Magnuson-Stevens 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

    All vessels of the United States harvesting EEZ fish and shoreside 
processors, stationary floating processors, 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

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/

[[Page 18518]]

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 and ensure accurate accountability and proper 
reporting is being performed.
     Product transfer reports (PTRs) provide information on the 
volume of groundfish disposed of by persons buying it from the 
harvesters. The PTR is an important enforcement document and provides 
an important check on buyer purchase reports. Information collected on 
PTRs is used by NOAA OLE to verify the accuracy of reported shipments 
through physical inspections. NOAA OLE uses the PTR to monitor movement 
of product in and out of the processor on a timely basis.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.
    Frequency: Quarterly; On Occasion; Daily.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
