Abstract: This collection-of-information affords an increasingly more efficient and accurate database for monitoring and management of the groundfish fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone in the waters off Alaska for purposes of conservation of the fisheries as well as for the enforcement of fisheries regulations. Parts of this collection are also used by the fishermen recording catch information on the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab fisheries, and the Individual Fishing Quota Program for Pacific halibut.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Adjustments are made in this collection, due in part to differences in numbers of participants, based on current permit counts. Net decrease of respondents: 294. Net increase of responses: 6,099. Net increase of burden hours: 4,342. Net decrease of costs: $41,671 (this figure shows a net decrease – although responses increased - mainly because of increased emailing of responses, especially in the cases of the check-in/check-out reports). See the supporting statement for breakdown of changes by IC. Note: in ROCIS, the decrease is shown as $41,213, rather than $41,761, as the system had rounded down the previous cost from $187,458 to $187,000.
