Abstract: Pursuant to Proposed Rule 0648-BJ49 NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing a change to 0648-0213. This information collection consists of paper logbooks and reports submitted to NMFS Alaska Region for management of the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), for management of the Individual Fishing Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries, and for management of the Crab Rationalization Program crab fisheries. This information collection will remain unchanged, with the exception that sculpins will be reported as non-target ecosystem component (EC) species rather than target species.
