approved information collection for
American Fisheries Act reporting
requirements.
NMFS Alaska Region manages the
groundfish fisheries of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
in the Exclusive Economic Zone off
Alaska. The North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council)
prepared the Fishery Management Plan
for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq., and other applicable
laws. Regulations implementing the
FMP are at 50 CFR part 679.
The Bering Sea pollock fishery is
managed under the American Fisheries
Act (AFA). The purpose of the AFA was
to tighten U.S. ownership standards for
U.S. fishing vessels under the Antireflagging Act and to provide the Bering
Sea pollock fleet the opportunity to
conduct its fishery in a more rational
manner while protecting non-AFA
participants in the other fisheries. The
AFA established sector allocations in
the Bering Sea 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.
This information collection contains
the annual and periodic reporting
requirements for AFA cooperatives.
These requirements include reports
about on-going fishing operations of the
cooperatives and reports focused on
efforts to minimize salmon bycatch in
the Bering Sea pollock fishery. These
reporting requirements are at 50 CFR
679.21 and 679.61.
This information is used to manage
the Bering Sea pollock fishery, to
evaluate the salmon bycatch
management measures, and to provide
the public with information about how
the program operates and information
about bycatch reduction under this
program. This information collection
provides the Council and NMFS with
information about the organization and
fishing operations of the AFA
cooperatives, allocations to the AFA
cooperatives, and the effectiveness of
the Chinook salmon and chum salmon
bycatch management measures. This
information is necessary to ensure longterm conservation and abundance of
salmon and pollock, maintain a healthy
marine ecosystem, and provide
maximum benefit to fishermen and
communities that depend on salmon
and pollock.
