Alaska Pacific Halibut Fisheries: Subsistence

OMB 0648-0512

OMB Control No. 0648-0460, which describes the Subsistence Halibut Registration Certificate (SHARC), will be combined into this collection so that all halibut subsistence fisheries activities are in one collection. This subsistence collection of information consists of applications for special permits (Community Harvest Permit, Ceremonial Permit, and Educational Permit), application for a SHARC, and harvest logs issued to participants in the halibut subsistence fishery, as well as gear marking and appeals. The halibut subsistence program allows eligible persons from Alaska Native tribes and certain rural communities to practice the long-term customary and traditional harvest of Pacific halibut for food in a non-commercial manner. The specialized permits are vessel-oriented to allow eligible persons to harvest subsistence halibut under reduced gear and harvest restrictions. In Alaska's coastal areas, subsistence halibut fisheries are local, non-commercial, customary, and traditional food fisheries.
