SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, is
requesting renewal of a currently
approved information collection that
contains requirements for the NMFS
Alaska Region cost recovery fee
programs and the observer coverage fee
program. A slight revision is requested
to change the title of the collection from
‘‘Alaska Quota Cost Recovery Programs’’
to ‘‘Alaska Cost Recovery and Fee
Programs.’’
This information collection is
necessary under the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), which
authorizes observer deployment fees
and cost recovery fees. Section 304(d) of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act authorizes
and requires the collection of cost
recovery fees for limited access privilege
programs and community development
quota programs. Section 313 of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act authorizes a
system of fees to support a fisheries
research plan and deploy observers in
the North Pacific fisheries. The fee
documentation forms and volume and
value reports that are included in this
collection are necessary to track, verify,
and enforce the fee collection systems.
This information collection is
required in Federal regulations at 50
CFR parts 679 and 680. Information on
the observer coverage fee and cost
recovery fee programs is provided on
the NMFS Alaska Region website at
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/
commercial-fishing/cost-recoveryprograms-fee-collection-and-feepayment-alaska.
Cost recovery fees may not exceed 3
percent of the ex-vessel value of the
fishery, and must recover the
incremental (program) costs associated
with management, data collection, and
enforcement of these programs that are
directly incurred by government
agencies tasked with overseeing these

fisheries. NMFS recovers program costs
of seven cost recovery programs in this
information collection: Pacific Halibut
and Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota
(IFQ) Program; Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Crab Rationalization Program;
Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish
Program; Western Alaska Community
Development Quota Program; American
Fisheries Act Program; Aleutian Islands
Pollock Program; and Amendment 80
Program. The party responsible for
paying the cost recovery fee varies by
program.
The observer coverage fee funds
deployment of observers and electronic
monitoring in the partial coverage
category of the North Pacific Observer
Program (Observer Program). Unlike the
cost recovery fees, this is a straight fee
and does not recover incremental costs
associated with the program. NMFS
assesses a fee of 1.25 percent of the exvessel value of groundfish and halibut
landed in the partial coverage category
under the Observer Program. The
information collected by observers
provides scientific information for
minimizing bycatch and managing the
groundfish and halibut fisheries in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and
Gulf of Alaska.
Catcher vessel owners split the
observer coverage fee with the registered
buyers or owners of shore side or
stationary floating processors. While the
owners of catcher vessels and
processors in the partial coverage
category are each responsible for paying
their portion of the fee, the owners of
shore side or stationary floating
processors and registered buyers are
responsible for collecting the fees from
catcher vessels, and remitting the full
fee to NMFS. Owners of catcher/
processors in the partial coverage
category are responsible for remitting
the full fee to NMFS.
Processors that receive and purchase
landings of IFQ halibut or sablefish,
rockfish, groundfish, and crab subject to
observer and/or cost recovery fees must
annually submit an ex-vessel volume
and value report that provides
information on the pounds purchased
and value paid. NMFS uses this
information to establish the total exvessel value of the fishery, calculate
standard prices, and establish annual
fee percentages in each fishery.
IFQ permit holders and registered
crab receivers that do not agree with
their NMFS assessed IFQ fee liability
summary and who are paying a revised
fee, use the fee documentation forms to
calculate and submit documentation
supporting their revised fee.
Any person who receives an initial
administrative determination for

incomplete payment of a cost recovery
fee or observer coverage fee may appeal
under the appeals procedures set out at
15 CFR part 906.
II. Method of Collection
NMFS collects all fees and the volume
and value reports online through eFISH
at https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/
webapps/efish/login. The IFQ Permit
Holder Fee Documentation Form,
Registered Crab Receiver Fee

Value Report form are available as
fillable pdfs on the NMFS Alaska
Region website at https://www.fisheries.

Amendment 34 to the Coastal Migratory
Pelagics FMP
The South Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico Fishery Management Councils
are considering action to address
updated scientific information provided
by an update to the Southeast Data
Assessment and Review (SEDAR) stock
assessment for Atlantic king mackerel
(SEDAR 38 Update 2020). The stock
assessment, which included revised
recreational landings that are based on
the Marine Recreational Information
Program’s newer Fishing Effort Survey
method, indicated that Atlantic king
mackerel was not overfished nor
undergoing overfishing. The draft
amendment currently includes actions
to update the Atlantic king mackerel
acceptable biological catch, annual
catch limits, sector allocations, and
recreational annual catch targets, and
modify recreational bag limits,
commercial and recreational minimum
size limits, and the requirement to land
Atlantic king and Spanish mackerel
with heads and fins intact.
During the public hearings, Council
staff will present an overview of the
amendment and will be available for
informal discussions and to answer
questions via webinar. Members of the
public will have an opportunity to go on
record to record their comments for
consideration by the Council.
Special Accommodations
These hearings are physically
accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for auxiliary aids should be
directed to the Council office (see
