This action would restructure the
Alaska Observer Program to add a funding and deployment system and
amend existing observer coverage requirements for vessels and
processing plants through an associated rule, RIN 0648-BB42.
Landings information submitted by managers of shoreside processors
and stationary floating processors would be used to assess the
observer fee liability for each landing. Managers of shoreside
processors and stationary floating processors would access reports
generated by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) web-based
application for a receipt of the observer fee liability associated
with each landing. NMFS would make electronic monitoring available
as an alternative tool for fulfilling observer coverage
requirements. The electronic monitoring option would not change the
funding mechanism or fee amount proposed in this action, but could
serve to reduce economic impacts on small entities by providing an
alternative to carrying a human observer.
