SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for an extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The North Pacific Observer Program 

(Observer Program) is implemented 

under the authority of section 313 of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act and 

regulations at 50 CFR 679. Through the 

Observer Program, the National Marine 

Fisheries Service (NMFS) collects the 

data necessary to conserve and manage 

the groundfish and halibut fisheries off 

Alaska. Observers collect biological 

samples and fishery-dependent 

information used to estimate total catch 

and interactions with protected species. 

Managers use data collected by 

observers to manage groundfish and 

prohibited species catch within 

established limits and to document and 

reduce fishery interactions with 

protected resources. Scientists use 

observer data to assess fish stocks, to 

provide scientific information for 

fisheries and ecosystem research and 

fishing fleet behavior, to assess marine 

mammal interactions with fishing gear, 

and to assess fishing interactions with 

habitat. 

All vessels and processors that 

participate in federally managed or 

parallel groundfish and halibut fisheries 

off Alaska are assigned to one of two 

categories: (1) The full observer 

coverage category, where vessels and 

processors obtain observer coverage by 

contracting directly with observer 

providers; or (2) the partial coverage 

category, where NMFS, in consultation 

with the North Pacific Fishery 

Management Council determines when 

and where observer coverage is needed. 

Some vessels and processors may be in 

full coverage for part of the year and 

partial coverage at other times of the 

year depending on the observer 

coverage requirements for specific 

fisheries. Funds for deploying observers 

on vessels in the partial coverage 

category are provided through a system 

of fees based on the gross ex-vessel 

value of retained groundfish and 

halibut. This observer fee is assessed on 

all landings by vessels that are not 

otherwise in full coverage. Information 

collected for the observer fee is 

approved under OMB Control No. 0648– 

0711. 

II. Method of Collection 

Methods of submittal include online 

web applications, email, email 

attachments, verbal communication by 

telephone or in person, and on paper by 

mail or fax. The Observer Declare and 

Deploy System (ODDS) is an internetbased interface that is used by vessel 

owners and operators in the partial 

coverage category. ODDS is available 

online at https://

chum.afsc.noaa.gov:7104/apex/ 

f?p=140:1 or by phone at 1–855–747– 

6377. Copies of observer coverage 

category request forms are available on 

the NMFS Alaska Region website at 

https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/.
