SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Pacific halibut is an unusual resource 

in that halibut management in both 

State and Federal waters is an 

international and Federal responsibility 

under the North Pacific Halibut Act of 

1982. Annual catch quotas are 

determined by the International Pacific 

Halibut Commission (IPHC), and 

Federal responsibility for halibut 

management extends to halibut stocks 

and fishing activity within State of 

Alaska waters. In order to manage 

halibut effectively, international and 

Federal managers need information on 

halibut fishing effort and harvest by all 

user groups, including the guided sport 

charter sector of the fishery. 

In order to minimize the 

recordkeeping and reporting burden on 

guided charter operations, Federal and 

international managers depend on 

fishing activity and harvest information 

collected by the State of Alaska through 

its charter logbook program. Federal 

regulations at 50 CFR 300.65 require 

charter vessel operators fishing in IPHC 

Areas 2C and 3A to comply with the 

State of Alaska logbook reporting 

requirements. 

The State of Alaska Department of 

Fish and Game (ADF&G) Division of 

Sport Fish initiated a mandatory 

logbook program for charter vessels in 

1998 requiring annual registration of 

sport fishing guides and businesses and 

logbook reporting. The logbook and 

registration program was intended to 

provide information on actual 

participation and harvest by individual 

charter vessels and businesses in 

various regions of the State. 

ADF&G issues charter logbooks to 

licensed businesses only and also 

provides operators with registration 

stickers and statistical area maps. A 

schedule of logbook due dates is printed 

inside the front cover of each logbook. 

NMFS and ADF&G coordinated 

closely in the development of this 

information collection to use the 

existing ADF&G logbook to record 

information necessary for the 

monitoring and enforcement of the 

charter vessel angler daily catch limit of 

halibut, so that a separate Federal 

logbook system would not be necessary. 

This approach reduces burden to both 

the charter vessel industry and Federal 

and State management agencies. 

II. Method of Collection 

The logsheets may be placed in an 

ADF&G drop box at one of many ports 

in Alaska or mailed to ADF&G. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0575. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission 

(renewal of a currently approved 

collection). 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individual or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

93,090.

logsheet, 4 minutes; Charter Anglers to 

verify information and sign logsheet, 

1 minute. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 3,134. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $0. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.
