The National Marine Fisheries Service (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.

Adjustments The numbers were adjusted to reflect the most current data (2017). The cost of postage increased from 0.45 to 0.49. Adjustments were also made to reflect the following, which are described above under A2: • the time per response was increased for the Application for IFQ/CDQ Hired Master Permit and decreased for the Application for Medical Transfer of IFQ; and • the manual landing report was removed from the Registered Buyer Landing Report because the manual landing report is included under OMB Control number 0648-0515.
