eLandings and seaLandings are
components of the Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS).
The IERS provides the Alaska fishing industry with a consolidated
electronic means of reporting production and landings of commercial
fish and shellfish to multiple management agencies. This action
adds requirements for longline or pot gear catcher/processors to
use an electronic logbook instead of a DCPL. In addition, this
action would modify equipment and operational requirements for
freezer longliners (catcher/processors), will increase the speed
and accuracy of data transmission to NMFS, and will assist in
accurate quota monitoring. This action would affect the owners and
operators of 94 longline catcher/processors with a License
Limitation Program license endorsed for catcher/processor
operations, Pacific cod, hook-and-line gear, and Bering Sea or
Aleutian Islands areas. These requirements are in effect when the
eligible catcher/processor is operating in the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands management area, Gulf of Alaska, or while the
vessel is groundfish Western Alaska Community Development Quota
fishing. In addition, eLogs for catcher vessels are transferrred
from OMB Control No. 0648-0213, so that all electronic logbooks
will be in the same information collection.

Changes: NMFS is adding a new
program for catcher/processors using longline or pot gear with a
requirement to use an eLog instead of a paper DCPL. In addition, a
correction is made to add the trawl gear catcher/processors that
were required under BSAI Amendment 91 to use an eLog instead of a
paper DCPL A change is made by moving a pilot eLog for catcher
vessel trawl vessels from OMB Control No. 0213 to this collection,
so that all electronic logbooks will be in the same collection. In
addition, the description of eLandings is updated to include new
features, i.e., tender exchange, permit magnetic strip which
automatically provides information on the permit holder,
out-of-state landing report, and the enhanced use of processor
registration to include sub-operations eLog, Catcher/processor
