Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (BSAI), Amendment 80 allocated several BSAI
non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing sectors,
established a limited access privilege program, and facilitated the
formation of harvesting cooperatives in the non-American Fisheries
Act (non-AFA) trawl catcher/processor sector (hereinafter the
"Program"). This information collection is revised by changing and
correcting the application for Amendment 80 Quota Share Transfer.
One block of information, Transfer of an Amendment 80 QS Permit to
an approved Amendment 80 Replacement Vessel, was inadvertently
omitted and is replaced with this change request. The A80 QS
Transfer application form on the web is not the correct version;
the QS transfer form that is posted is from the renewal. A final
rule was published 10/01/2012 (77 FR 59852) that revised such
applications due to new vessel replacement regulations. A new Block
E has now been added to allow for transfer to the A80 QS to a
replacement vessel. There are also corrections to the first
section, in which the choice of transfer is selected. These changes
will not impact the cost and burden of this program.
