The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act requires that the Secretary of
Commerce maintain a Cost Recovery Program to cover the management
and enforcement costs of the Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQ) for
Pacific Halibut and Sablefish in the Alaska Fisheries Program. This
Cost Recovery Program requires Registered Buyers to submit
information about the volume and value of IFQ species landings and
for the IFQ permit holders to calculate and submit fees.
Since the last submission, the
cost of postage and fax submittal increased, the number of permit
holders decreased, and the number of IFQ Registered Buyers
increased, resulting in the following adjustments: IFQ Registered
Buyer Ex-vessel Value and Volume Report. an increase of 390
responses, 490 instead of 100 an increase of 780 hr burden, 980 hr
instead of 200 hr Miscellaneous costs remained the same, as
increased postage was balanced by increased Internet submission.
IFQ Permit Holder Fee Submission Form. a decrease of 100
respondents and responses, 2,500 (includes Registered Buyers)
instead of 2,600 a decrease of 200 hr burden, 5,000 hr instead of
5,200 hr a decrease of $299 miscellaneous costs, $2,771 instead of
$3,070. Fee Liability Appeals a decrease of 24 responses, 2 instead
of 26 a decrease of 48 hours, 4 instead of 52 a decrease of $17
miscellaneous costs, $2 instead of $19. Note: the current total
cost of $3,235 was rounded down to $3,000 when the information
collection request was migrated to ROCIS. The difference is, in
fact, #16, rather than $81, as shown in ROCIS.
