Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests extension of this currently approved information collection. No changes were made to this collection other than updating the hourly wage rate to use the most current rate available and to improve consistency in the rates used for the same respondent types in NMFS Alaska Region information collections. This information collection is for the annual participant letter for the Aleutian Islands (AI) pollock fishery. The Aleut Corporation’s AI pollock fishery is set up so that harvesting pollock in the AI directed pollock fishery and processing pollock taken in the AI directed pollock fishery are authorized only for those harvesters and processors that are selected by The Aleut Corporation. The Aleut Corporation is required by Federal regulations to provide its selected harvesters and processors to NMFS for approval. The purpose of the annual AI pollock fishery letter participant letter is for NMFS to obtain the list of vessels and processors selected by The Aleut Corporation to harvest and process its annual AI pollock allocation. NMFS uses this information to manage the AI pollock fishery. Without this information, NMFS would not know the participants selected by The Aleut Corporation and harvest rates could not be determined, which may result in allocations being exceeded.
