I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
The License Limitation Program (LLP)
restricts access to the commercial
groundfish fisheries, commercial crab
fisheries, and commercial scallop
fisheries in the Exclusive Economic
Zone off Alaska except for certain areas
where alternative programs exist. The
intended effect of the LLP is to limit the
number of participants and reduce
fishing capacity in fisheries off Alaska.

For a vessel designated on an LLP
license, the LLP license authorizes the
type of fishing gear that may be used by
the vessel, the maximum size of the
vessel, an area endorsement, and
whether the vessel may catch and
process fish at sea or if it is limited to
delivering catch without at-sea
processing. LLP licenses that allow
vessels to catch and process at-sea are
assigned a catcher/processor
endorsement. LLP licenses specify the
maximum length overall (MLOA) of the
vessel to which that LLP license may be
assigned. The LLP may also include a
species endorsement for Pacific cod in
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area (BSAI) and Gulf of
Alaska (GOA).
An LLP license is required for vessels
participating in directed fishing for LLP
groundfish species in the BSAI or GOA,
or fishing in any BSAI LLP crab
fisheries. An LLP license is also
required for any vessel deployed in
scallop fisheries in Federal waters off
Alaska (except for some diving
operations).
