Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Region, requests an extension of this currently approved information collection. Non-substantive editorial changes have been incorporated into the forms in this collection to improve clarity and maintain alignment with standard NMFS Alaska Region Restricted Access Management Division (RAM) documentation. This information collection contains applications for permits and transfers used by NMFS Alaska Region to manage the Amendment 80 Program. It also contains the appeals process for an application that is denied. NMFS uses this information to establish eligibility to receive Amendment 80 quota share, community quota, and permits; transfer and assign harvest quota; replace vessels used in the Amendment 80 Program; determine Amendment 80 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 community quota use caps are not exceeded.
