Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 8 / Monday, January 13, 2020 / Notices

Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Western Alaska Community
Development Quota (CDQ) Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0269.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
an approved collection).
Number of Respondents: 6.
Average Hours per Response: CDQ
Vessel Registration System, 10 minutes;
Groundfish/Halibut CDQ and PSQ
Transfer Request, 30 minutes;
Application for Approval of Use of NonCDQ Harvest Regulations, 5 hours;
Appeals, 4 hours.
Burden Hours: 46.
Needs and Uses: The Western Alaska
Community Development Quota (CDQ)
Program is an economic development
program associated with federally
managed fisheries in the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands (BSAI). The purpose of
the program is to provide eligible
western Alaska communities with the
opportunity to participate and invest in
fisheries in the BSAI, to support
economic development in western
Alaska, to alleviate poverty and provide
economic and social benefits to
residents of western Alaska, and to
achieve sustainable local economies in
western Alaska. The Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act allocates a portion of the annual
catch limit for each directed fishery of
the BSAI management area among six
non-profit entities (CDQ groups) that
represent 65 western Alaska
communities. The CDQ groups
administer the CDQ allocations,
investments, and economic
development projects. The CDQ groups
use the revenue derived from the
harvest of their fisheries allocations to
fund economic development activities
and provide employment opportunities.
This information collection is
comprised of four components.
• The CDQ Vessel Registration
System is an online system used by the
CDQ groups to add small hook-and-line
catcher vessels to the CDQ vessel
registration list. Registered vessels are
exempt from the requirements to obtain
and carry a License Limitation Program
license under regulations at 50 part 679.
This system is also used to remove
vessels from the CDQ vessel registration
list.
• The Groundfish/Halibut CDQ and
Prohibited Species Quota (PSQ)
Transfer Request form is used to transfer
annual amounts of groundfish and

halibut CDQ and halibut PSQ between
two CDQ groups. This form is
completed by the transferring and
receiving CDQ groups.
• The Application for Approval of
Use of Non-CDQ Harvest Regulations is
used by a CDQ group, an association
representing CDQ groups, or a voluntary
fishing cooperative to request approval
to use non CDQ harvest regulations
when the CDQ regulations are more
restrictive than the regulations
otherwise required for participants in
non-CDQ groundfish fisheries.
• An appeals process is provided for
an applicant who receives an adverse
initial administrative determination
(IAD) related to its Application for
Approval of Use of Non-CDQ Harvest
Regulations. No such adverse IADs have
been issued to date. In general, the
cooperative managers present the
cooperative reports during the April.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Periodically.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory;
Voluntary.

Commerce collections currently under

Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent

OMB Control Number: 0648–0393.

Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 27.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour
each for AFA Permit: Rebuilt,
Replacement, or Removed Vessel
Application and Application for
Transfer of Bering Sea Chinook Salmon
PSC Allocations; 2 hours for
Application for AFA Inshore Catcher
Vessel Cooperative Permit; 4 hours for
AFA Inshore Vessel Contract Fishing
Notification; 8 hours for Application for
Approval as an Entity to Receive
Transferable Chinook Salmon PSC
Allocation.
Burden Hours: 251 hours.
Needs and Uses: The American
Fisheries Act (AFA) was signed into law
in October 1998. The purpose of the
AFA was to tighten U.S. ownership
standards that had been exploited under
the Anti-reflagging Act, and to provide
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
(BSAI) pollock fleet the opportunity to
conduct their fishery in a more rational
manner while protecting non-AFA
participants in the other fisheries. The
AFA established sector allocations in
the BSAI pollock fishery, determined
eligible vessels and processors, allowed
the formation of cooperatives, set limits
on the participation of AFA vessels in
other fisheries, and imposed special
catch weighing and monitoring
requirements on AFA vessels.
This information collection contains
five AFA permitting and reporting
requirements.
• The AFA Permit: Rebuilt,
Replacement, or Removed Vessel
Application is submitted by an owner of
an AFA vessel to notify NMFS the
vessel has been rebuilt; to request an
AFA permit for a replacement catcher
vessel, catcher/processor, or
mothership; or to request removal of an
AFA catcher vessel that is a member of
an inshore cooperative and assign its
catch history to another vessel or vessels
in the same cooperative.
• The Application for AFA Inshore
Catcher Vessel Cooperative Permit is
submitted annually by each AFA
inshore catcher vessel cooperative to
obtain an AFA Inshore Catcher Vessel
Cooperative Permit and identify the
vessels and processors that will be
participating in the BSAI pollock fishery
prior to the start of each fishing year.
• The AFA Inshore Vessel Contract
Fishing Notification is submitted by an
AFA inshore cooperative that intends to
contract with a non-member vessel to
harvest a portion of the cooperative’s
annual pollock allocation to notify
NMFS of vessels that might be reporting
with an alternative cooperative ID.
