The License Limitation Program (LLP) is a step toward a comprehensive rationalization program to solve the conservation and management problems of Alaska’s open access fisheries. The LLP provides stability in the fishing industry and identifies the field of participants in the fisheries. The LLP restricts access to the commercial groundfish fisheries, commercial crab fisheries and commercial scallop fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska except for certain areas where alternative programs exist. The intended effect of the LLP is to limit the number of participants and reduce fishing capacity in fisheries off Alaska.

Adjustments are necessary for the Application for Transfer of Groundfish, Crab, or Scallops: a decrease of 44 respondents and responses, 100 instead of 144 a decrease of 44 hours burden, 100 hr instead of 144 hr an increase of $248 in miscellaneous costs, $1,112 instead of $864*. *Fax charges ($6 x 144 = $864) were removed because the notary requirement precludes sending the application by fax. Notary charges ($10 x 100 = $1,000) were added because this cost was inadvertently omitted from the last analysis. Adjustments are necessary for the Transfer Appeals: a decrease of 58 respondents and responses, 42 instead of 100 a decrease of 232 hours burden, 168 hr instead of 400 hr a decrease of $109 in miscellaneous costs, $39 instead of $148 The net changes are: a decrease of 102 in respondents and responses, and a decrease of 276 hours, with estimates lower based on recent data and an increase of $139 (lower costs due to fewer respondents, but an adjustment upward as explained above, for notary costs).
