The information from this
collection-of-information is used to monitor and manage
participation in groundfish fisheries by NMFS, Alaska Region, and
consists of the following permits: Federal fisheries permit,
Federal processor permit, and exempted fishing permit. The permit
information provides: harvest gear types; descriptions of vessels,
shoreside processors, and stationary floating processors; and
expected fishery activity levels. Identification of the
participants and expected activity levels are needed to measure the
consequences of management controls, and is an effective tool in
the enforcement of other fishery regulations. The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) will implement cost recovery fee programs
for the Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program for groundfish
and halibut, and three limited access privilege programs: the
American Fisheries Act (AFA), Aleutian Islands Pollock, and
Amendment 80 Programs. Two new volume and value reports would be
required for the CDQ Program and the Amendment 80 Program under the
proposed action -- a Pacific Cod Ex-Vessel Volume and Value Report
and a First Wholesale Volume and Value Report
