The Community Development Quota (CDQ)
Program is an economic development program associated with
federally managed fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (BSAI). The purposes of the CDQ Program are to
provide western Alaska communities the opportunity to participate
and invest in BSAI fisheries, to support economic development in
western Alaska, to alleviate poverty and provide economic and
social benefits for residents of western Alaska, and to achieve
sustainable and diversified local economies in western Alaska. This
statement supports renewal for an existing
collection-of-information under Control No. 0648-0269.

Minor adjustments are made in
this collection in responses, burden, and miscellaneous costs. The
only program changes are the removal of the Request for approval or
removal of eligible vessel, below. Community development plan (CDP)
A decrease of $190 miscellaneous costs, $20 instead of $210 (the
cost of binders is removed because binder purchase is a one-time
cost. Also, the number of pages in each CDP is reduced from 500
pages to a more realistic 100 pages). Annual budget report An
increase of $5 miscellaneous costs, $16 instead of $11 (increased
postage rates). Annual budget reconciliation A decrease of $14
miscellaneous costs, $16 instead of $30 (decreased postage rates
plus addition of photocopy costs). A flat rate of $5 postage cost
was given in the previous action, totaling $30. This action
corrects the cost of postage by calculating it exactly and adds the
cost of photocopies, $5.10. Technical amendment An increase of $2
miscellaneous costs, $10 instead of $8 (increased postage rates).
Alternate fishing plan A decrease of 1 response, 12 instead of 13
(responses are determined in a different manner) A decrease of 4
burden hours, 48 instead of 52 hr A decrease of $100 personnel
cost, $1,200 instead of $1,300 An increase of $3 miscellaneous
cost, $61 instead of $58 (due to increased Fax costs and inclusion
of photocopy expense). Prior notice to observer, shoreside An
increase of 1 response, 56 instead of 55 (responses determined in a
different manner). Prior notice to observer, vessel A decrease of
27 responses, 4,648 instead of 4,675 (responses determined in a
different manner) An increase of 15 burden hours, 155 instead of
140 hr (decrease of one hour due to decrease in responses; addition
of 16 hours due to correction in calculation, using minutes instead
of decimal hours). An increase of $375 personnel cost, $3,875
instead of $3,500. Total net adjustments: Responses: a decrease of
27 Hours: an increase of 11 Personnel costs: an increase of $275
