NMFS Alaska Region seeks to renew a
collection-of-information for the continued management of the
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program for fixed-gear Pacific
halibut and sablefish fisheries off Alaska as well as the Western
Alaska Community Development Quota Program (CDQ) halibut fishery.
The IFQ Program allocates annual total catch limits for the halibut
and sablefish fisheries among individual fishermen and Gulf of
Alaska non-profit organizations holding quota share (QS). The CDQ
Halibut Program allocates annual total catch limits for the halibut
fishery among individual CDQ fishermen. Fishermen are assigned QS
for the fisheries, and then annually receive an IFQ and/or CDQ.
Applications and reporting are required to manage and track the
program. Two ICs are removed, as no longer applicable.
