Management Area.
The CDQ Program is an economic
development program authorized under
the Magnuson Stevens Act to provide
eligible western Alaska villages with the
opportunity to participate and invest in
fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area, to support
economic development in western
Alaska, to alleviate poverty and provide
economic and social benefits for
residents of western Alaska, and to
achieve sustainable and diversified local
economies in western Alaska.

This information collection is used by
NMFS to manage the small vessel CDQ
fisheries, transfer quota among the CDQ
groups, and authorize the use of
alternative harvest regulations under
certain circumstances.
This information collection contains
the following 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 PSQ, except Bering
Sea Chinook salmon, 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
related to its Application for Approval
of Use of Non-CDQ Harvest Regulations.
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
