Needs and Uses: The National Marine 

Fisheries Services (NMFS), Alaska 

Region, is requesting extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection for American Fisheries Act 

reporting requirements. 

NMFS manages the groundfish 

fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands Management Area in the 

Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska. 

The North Pacific Fishery Management 

Council (Council) prepared the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (FMP) under the 

authority of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., and other 

applicable laws. Regulations 

implementing the FMP are at 50 CFR 

part 679. 

The Bering Sea pollock fishery is 

managed under the American Fisheries 

Act (AFA). The purpose of the AFA was 

to tighten U.S. ownership standards for 

U.S. fishing vessels under the Antireflagging Act and to provide the Bering 

Sea pollock fleet the opportunity to 

conduct its fishery in a more rational 

manner while protecting non-AFA 

participants in the other fisheries. The 

AFA established sector allocations in 

the Bering Sea pollock fishery, 

determined eligible vessels and 

processors, allowed the formation of 

cooperatives, set limits on the 

participation of AFA vessels in other 

fisheries, and imposed special catch 

weighing and monitoring requirements 

on AFA vessels. 

This information collection contains 

the annual and periodic reporting 

requirements for AFA cooperatives. 

These requirements include reports 

about on-going fishing operations of the 

cooperatives and reports specifically 

focused on efforts to minimize salmon 

bycatch in the Bering Sea pollock 

fishery. These reporting requirements 

are located at 50 CFR 679.21 and 679.61. 

This information is used to manage 

the BS pollock fishery, to evaluate the 

salmon bycatch management measures, 

and to provide the public with 

information about how the program 

operates and information about bycatch 

reduction under this program. This 

information collection provides the 

Council and NMFS with information 

about the organization and fishing 

operations of the AFA cooperatives, 

allocations to the AFA cooperatives, and 

the effectiveness of the Chinook salmon 

and chum salmon bycatch management 

measures. This information is necessary 

to ensure long-term conservation and 

abundance of salmon and pollock, 

maintain a healthy marine ecosystem, 

and provide maximum benefit to 

fishermen and communities that depend 

on salmon and pollock. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually, On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain or Retain Benefits, Mandatory. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act, American Fisheries Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This is a request for revision and 

extension of an approved information 

collection. 

Section 315 of the National Marine 

Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. 

1445a) allows the Secretary of 

Commerce to establish one or more 

advisory councils to provide advice to 

the Secretary regarding the designation 

and management of national marine 

sanctuaries. Executive Order 13178 

similarly established a Coral Reef 

Ecosystem Reserve Council pursuant to 

the NMSA for the Northwestern 

Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem 

Reserve. Councils are individually 

chartered for each site to meet its 

specific needs. Once an advisory 

council has been chartered, a sanctuary 

superintendent starts a process to 

recruit members for that council by 

providing notice to the public and 

requesting interested parties to apply for 

the available seat(s) (e.g., Research, 

Education) and position(s) (i.e., council 

member or alternate). The information 

obtained through this application 

process will be used to determine the 

qualifications of the applicant for 

membership on the advisory council. 

Two application forms are currently 

associated with this information 

collection: (a) National Marine 

Sanctuary Advisory Council 

Application form; and (b) National 

Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council 

Youth Seat Application form. 

Application form instructions will 

specify requirements imposed upon the 

agency when reviewing applicants as 

potential council members or alternates, 

including the need to assess potential 

conflicts of interest (or other issues). 

Questions posed to applicants are being 

reviewed and an additional question is 

being added to solicit new information 

pertinent to the function of advisory 

councils. Existing questions may be 

reordered, reworded, and at times, 

condensed to improve the organization 

of applicant responses and, thereby, 

simplify the applicant review process. 

We do not believe that revisions to the 

application would appreciably change 

the average annual number of 

respondents or the reporting burden for 

the information requirements 

supporting solicitation of new advisory 

council members. 

II. Method of Collection 

Complete applications may be 

submitted electronically via email (with 

attachments), by mail, or by facsimile 

transmission. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0397. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(revision and extension of a currently 

approved collection). 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for-profit 

organizations; not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

594. 

Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 594 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $1,188.00. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1445a. 

IV. Request for Comments 

We are soliciting public comments to 

permit the Department/Bureau to: (a) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

information collection is necessary for 

the proper functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the 

accuracy of our estimate of the time and 

cost burden for this proposed collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

Evaluate ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Minimize the 

reporting burden on those who are to 

respond, including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.
