The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests extension of this currently approved information collection that consists of paper logbooks and reports used for management of the groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian (BSAI) Islands Management Area and the Gulf of Alaska; for management of the Individual Fishing Quota halibut and sablefish fisheries; and for management of the BSAI Crab Rationalization Program crab fisheries.
Collecting information from fishery participants is necessary to promote successful management of groundfish, crab, Pacific halibut, and salmon resources. A comprehensive information system that identifies the participants and monitors their fishing activity is necessary to enforce the management measures and prevent overfishing. An information system is also needed to measure the consequences of management controls. This collection supports an effective monitoring and enforcement system with information that includes identification of the participating vessels, operators, dealers, and processors; location of the fishing activity; timeframes when fishing and processing is occurring; and shipment and transfer of fishing products. The information collected promotes the goals and objectives of the fishery management plans, the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and other applicable laws.

Pub.L. 94 - 265 303
Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as amended in 2006
The number of respondents and responses have been updated to reflect information gathered in the previous 3 years. This accounts for a corresponding decrease in the burden hours. Although miscellaneous costs were adjusted to reflect current costs of general office services, the decrease in the number of responses results in an overall decrease in the annual cost burden.
