SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The American Fisheries Act (AFA),

signed into law in October 1998,

established a new allocation program for

the pollock fishery of the Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Management Area

(BSAI). NOAA issued an emergency

interim rule to give immediate effect to

all AFA-mandated management

measures. Under the AFA, only vessels

and processors that meet specific

qualifying criteria are eligible to fish for

and process pollock in the BSAI. The

BSAI pollock quota is suballocated to

groups of vessel owners who form

fishing vessel cooperatives under the

AFA. NOAA administers new AFA

fishing, processing, and cooperative

permits for the BSAI pollock fishery

through application form requirements

that allow NOAA to identify and permit

the vessels and processors that are

eligible to participate in the BSAI

pollock fishery. Owners of vessels and

processors must submit evidence of

their qualification to participate.

II. Method of Collection

Applications are submitted on paper

forms.
