SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries 

Services (NMFS), Alaska Region, 

requests extension of a currently 

approved information collection for 

American Fisheries Act reporting 

requirements. 

NMFS Alaska Region 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 focused on 

efforts to minimize salmon bycatch in 

the Bering Sea pollock fishery. These 

reporting requirements are at 50 CFR 

679.21 and 679.61. 

This information is used to manage 

the Bering Sea 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 longterm 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.
