Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS)

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, requests revision of this currently approved information collection. This information collection is revised due to the associated rule (RIN 0648-BL49) changing the time limit for recording a management program in the catcher/processor electronic logbook (eLog). This action revises and standardizes the time limit for assigning a management program to each haul for trawl catcher/processors (C/Ps) participating in the groundfish fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) management areas. This rule is necessary to improve consistency for when trawl C/Ps are required to assign a specific management program to a haul and will allow additional time for vessel operators participating in Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program and non-CDQ fisheries on the same trip to better determine which management program to assign to a haul. This revision does not change the respondents, responses, burden hours, or costs for the catcher/processor eLog because the directly regulated entities already complete this logbook, and the current burden estimate allows for differences in the time and cost needed to complete and submit the logbook.

The latest form for Alaska Interagency Electronic Reporting System (IERS) expires 2029-06-30 and is listed under ICR 202601-0648-004.
