Groundfish Fisheries of the Exclusive 

Economic Zone Off Alaska; American 

Fisheries Act; Recordkeeping and 

Reporting 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This action would amend the 

regulations implementing the American 

Fisheries Act that require cooperatives 

participating in the directed fishery for 

pollock in the Bering Sea to prepare and 

submit preliminary annual reports to 

the North Pacific Regional Fishery 

Management Council. The Council 

determined that the requirement for a 

preliminary annual report is no longer 

necessary. However, this proposed 

action would retain the requirement for 

the cooperatives to submit a single 

annual report to the Council. This 

action is intended to promote the goals 

and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and other 

applicable laws. 

DATES: Comments must be received no 

later than January 4, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Sue 

Salveson, Assistant Regional 

Administrator, Sustainable Fisheries 

Division, Alaska Region, NMFS, Attn: 

Ellen Sebastian. You may submit 

comments, identified by RIN 0648– 

AY84, by any one of the following 

methods: 

• Electronic Submissions: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the
