Under the Observer Program, observers and EM systems collect fishery-dependent information used to estimate total catch and interactions with protected species. Managers use this data to manage groundfish and prohibited species catch within established limits and to document and reduce fishery interactions with protected species.

Some vessels and processors may be in full coverage for part of the year and partial coverage at other times of the year depending on the observer coverage requirements for specific fisheries. Funds for deploying observers on vessels in the partial coverage category are provided through a system of fees based on the gross exvessel value of retained groundfish and halibut. This observer fee is assessed on all landings by vessels that are not otherwise in full coverage. The observer fee is approved under OMB Control Number 0648–0711.

    Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), 
Alaska Regional Office, is requesting renewal of a currently approved 
information collection that contains requirements for the North Pacific 
Observer Program (Observer Program). A slight revision is requested to 
change the title of the collection from ``Alaska Observer Program'' to 
``North Pacific Observer Program.''
    Section 313 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1862) authorizes 
the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), in consultation 
with NMFS, to prepare a fishery research plan for the purpose of 
stationing observers and electronic monitoring (EM) systems to collect 
data necessary for the conservation, management, and scientific 
understanding of the commercial groundfish and Pacific halibut 
fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and Gulf of 
Alaska (GOA) management areas. The Observer Program is implemented by 
regulations at subpart E of 50 CFR part 679, which authorize the 
deployment of observers and EM to collect information necessary for the 
conservation and management of the BSAI and GOA groundfish and halibut 
fisheries. Under the Observer Program, observers and EM systems collect 
fishery-dependent information used to estimate total catch and 
interactions with protected species. Managers use this data to manage 
groundfish and prohibited species catch within established limits and 
to document and reduce fishery interactions with protected species. 
Scientists use this data to assess fish stocks, provide data for 
fisheries and ecosystem research and fishing fleet behavior, assess 
marine mammal interactions with fishing gear, and characterize fishing 
impacts on habitat.
    All vessels and processors that participate in federally managed or 
parallel groundfish and halibut fisheries off Alaska (except catcher 
vessels delivering unsorted codends to a mothership) are subject to 
Observer Program requirements and assigned to one of two categories: 
(1) The full observer coverage category, where vessels and processors 
obtain observer coverage by contracting directly with observer 
providers; or (2) the partial coverage category, where NMFS, in 
consultation with the Council determines when and where observer 
coverage is needed. Some vessels and processors may be in full coverage 
for part of the year and partial coverage at other times of the year 
depending on the observer coverage requirements for specific fisheries. 
Funds for deploying observers on vessels in the partial coverage 
category are provided through a system of fees based on the gross ex-
vessel value of retained groundfish and halibut. This observer fee is 
assessed on all landings by vessels that are not otherwise in full 
coverage. The observer fee is approved under OMB Control Number 0648-
0711.
    Information in this collection is submitted by observer provider 
companies and owners and operators of vessels and processors subject to 
Observer Program requirements. Information submitted by owners and 
operators includes information on owner identification, vessels, 
observer coverage category, deck safety, the EM system, fishing trips, 
and fishing operations. Information submitted by observer provider 
companies includes information on ownership and operations; observers 
and observer candidates; observer deployment; insurance coverage; 
contracts with observers, vessels, and processors; costs for observer 
services; and other information including possible observer harassment, 
prohibited actions, safety concerns, observer illness or injury 
preventing the observer from completing duties, and any information, 
allegation, or reports regarding observer conflict of interest or 
breach of the standards of behavior. Observers, observer provider 
companies, and industry may submit information on improving observer 
data quality and resolving observer sampling issues.
    More information on the Observer Program is provided on the NMFS 
Alaska Region website at https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/fisheries-observers/north-pacific-observer-program.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.

    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary; Required to Obtain or Retain 
Benefits; Mandatory.
    Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act.
