Abstract: The Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQ) Program formerly used an Internet system for data entry dedicated to the IFQ Program. This action revises the collection by changing the required Internet data entry system to eLandings (see OMB Control No.: 0648-0515), which is the data entry component of the International Electronic Reporting System, which also accepts data entry for groundfish and crab.
