how portfolio theory can facilitate
ecosystem-based fisheries management
and provide feedback to the project
team. They will discuss providing
feedback to the Council on the
performance metrics and indicators
under development by the Groundfish
Plan Development Team to review the
revised monitoring program, including
the increased at-sea monitoring coverage
target, implemented through
Amendment 23 to the Northeast
Multispecies Fishery Management Plan.
Other business will be discussed as
necessary.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained on the agenda may come

conservation and management of marine
fishery resources within the Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United
States through NOAA/NMFS. NMFS
Alaska Region manages the EEZ off
Alaska under the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(BSAI FMP) and the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Gulf of Alaska. The North Pacific
Fishery Management Council
recommended A80 to the BSAI FMP in
June 2006 (72 FR 52668, September 14,
2007). A80 allocates several Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) nonpollock
trawl groundfish species among trawl
fishery sectors, established a limited
access privilege program (LAPP), and
facilitated the formation of harvesting
cooperatives in the non-American
Fisheries Act (non-AFA) trawl catcher/
processor sector. More information on
the A80 Program is provided on the
NMFS Alaska Region website at https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/
sustainable-fisheries/bering-seaandaleutian-islands-amendment-80groundfish-trawl-fishery.
This collection contains applications
used by an individual or business entity
to apply for A80 quota share, used by
A80 quota shareholders to transfer A80
quota share and to apply for an A80
limited access fishery permit, used by
A80 cooperatives to apply for
cooperative quota and transfer
cooperative quota, used by cooperatives
or Community Development Quota
groups to exchange community quota
for one eligible flatfish species with
community quota of a different eligible
flatfish species, and used by A80 vessel
owners to replace their vessels. This
information collection also contains the
appeals process for an application that
is denied.
The type of information collected
includes information on the applicants,
transferors, transferees, permits, vessels,
quota share, cooperative quota, and
flatfish harvest quota.
NMFS uses this information to
establish eligibility to receive A80 quota
share, cooperative quota, and permits;
transfer and assign harvest quota;
replace vessels used in the A80
Program; determine A80 species initial
total allowable catch assignments;
determine which vessels must be
tracked for catch accounting; and review
ownership and control information to
ensure that quota share and cooperative
quota use caps are not exceeded.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: On occasion; Annually.
