Abstract: 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.

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: 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 Miscellaneous costs: a decrease of $194. Request for approval or removal of eligible vessel [REMOVED] A decrease of 39 responses, 0 instead of 39. A decrease of 39 hours, 0 instead of 39. A decrease of $975 personnel costs, 0 instead of $975. A decrease of $88 miscellaneous costs, 0 instead of $88. Total net program changes: Responses: a decrease of 39 Hours: a decrease of 39
