turtles. Section 4(f) of the ESA (16
U.S.C. 1531–1544) provides for the
creation of Recovery Plans for
endangered and threatened species and
provides NOAA Fisheries and USFWS
with authority ‘‘to procure the services
of appropriate public and private
agencies and institutions and other
qualified persons’’ in order to
implement those plans. To advance the
conservation and recovery of listed sea
turtles, each sea turtle recovery plan
developed jointly by NOAA Fisheries
and USFWS identifies and highlights
the need to maintain an active stranding
network. Both NOAA Fisheries and
USFWS have promulgated regulations
that provide an exception to the
prohibitions on take and allow for
coordinated response to stranded sea
turtles in water and on land, based on
their specific jurisdictional
responsibility.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Not-for-profit institutions;
State, local, or Tribal government;
Federal Government.
Frequency: As needed as sea turtle
strandings occur and are reported.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Collection of these
data to inform causes of morbidity and
mortality in sea turtles is necessary to
fulfill statutory requirements of the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.).

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 threestep process including: (1) Data
Workshop; (2) Assessment Process
utilizing webinars; and (3) Review
Workshop. The product of the Data
Workshop is a data report which
compiles and evaluates potential
datasets and recommends which
datasets are appropriate for assessment
analyses. The product of the Assessment
Process is a stock assessment report
which describes the fisheries, evaluates
the status of the stock, estimates
biological benchmarks, projects future
population conditions, and recommends
research and monitoring needs. The
assessment is independently peer
reviewed at the Review Workshop. The
product of the Review Workshop is a
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,
Highly Migratory Species 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 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs);
international experts; and staff of
Councils, Commissions, and state and
federal agencies.
The items of discussion for the
meeting are as follows: discuss any
leftover data issues that were not
cleared up during the data process;
answer any questions that the analysts
have; introduce/discuss model
development and model setup; and
determine if the model is ready to move
onto review.
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, is
requesting extension of a currently
approved information collection that
contains applications for permits and
transfers necessary for NMFS to manage
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
(BSAI) pollock fishery under the
American Fisheries Act (AFA).
NMFS manages the BSAI pollock
fishery under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.) and AFA (16 U.S.C.
1851). The regulations implementing
the AFA Program are at 50 CFR part
679, subpart F. The reporting
requirements at 50 CFR part 679 form
the basis for this collection of
information.
The AFA was signed into law in
October 1998. The purpose of the AFA
was to tighten U.S. ownership standards
that had been exploited under the Antireflagging Act, and to provide the BSAI
pollock fleet the opportunity to conduct
their fishery in a more rational manner
while protecting non-AFA participants
in the other fisheries. The AFA
established sector allocations in the
BSAI pollock fishery, determined
eligible vessels and processors, allowed
the formation of cooperatives, set limits
on the participation of AFA vessels in
other fisheries, and imposed special
catch weighing and monitoring
requirements on AFA vessels.
Any vessel used to engage in directed
fishing for a non-western Alaska
community development quota (nonCDQ) allocation of pollock in the Bering
Sea and any shoreside processor,
stationary floating processor, or
mothership that receives pollock
harvested in a non-CDQ directed
pollock fishery in the Bering Sea must
have a valid AFA permit on board the
vessel or at the facility location at all
times while non-CDQ pollock is being
harvested or processed.
Permanent AFA permits (AFA catcher
vessel, AFA catcher/processor, AFA
mothership, and AFA inshore
processor) for the BSAI pollock fishery
had a one-time application deadline of
December 1, 2000, and were issued with
an indefinite expiration date. Therefore,
except for participants that require
annual or replacement permits, all AFA
entities required to have a permit are
already permitted.
