Abstract: Special Pacific halibut permits and harvest logs are created to monitor Pacific halibut subsistence use for ceremony and education by Alaska Native tribes. These ceremonial and educational permits are issued in addition to the Pacific halibut subsistence registration described in OMB Control No.: 0648-0460. This change would add a space for the e-mail address of the Alaska Native Tribe applying for each of the permits. The change is necessary because if the respondent wants to renew a permit with NMFS on-line (not required, of course) they must provide a valid e-mail address for the database.
