Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 14 / Monday, January 22, 2024 / Notices 3913 

Assessment and Fishery Evaluation 

reports for the groundfish fisheries of 

the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and 

the Gulf of Alaska, and in periodic 

reports that describe the fisheries and 

that serve as reference documents to 

management agencies, the industry, and 

others. 

The mothership and catcher processor 

data, when added to the COAR 

information collected from shoreside 

processors and stationary floating 

processors required under State of 

Alaska requirements, yield a complete 

data base of equivalent annual product 

value information for all respective 

processing sectors. The information also 

provides a consistent time series 

according to which groundfish 

resources may be managed more 

efficiently. Use of the information 

generated by the COAR is coordinated 

between NMFS and the Alaska 

Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G). 

The COAR must be submitted by 

April 1 to the ADF&G for the previous 

year’s activity for all operations that are 

required to submit a COAR. NMFS 

requires the owner of a mothership or 

catcher processor to annually complete 

and submit the appropriate forms of the 

COAR, whether the processor operated 

that year or not. If no receipt or 

production took place for that year, the 

owner submits only the COAR 

certification page. 

The COAR requires submission of 

information on seafood purchasing, 

production, and both ex-vessel and 

wholesale values of seafood products. 

The buying information is reported by 

species, harvest area, area of purchase, 

condition of fisheries resources at the 

time of purchase, type of gear used in 

the harvest, pounds purchased, and exvessel value. The ex-vessel value 

includes any post-season adjustments or 

bonuses paid after the fish was 

purchased. The production information 

is reported by species, area of 

processing, process type (e.g., frozen, 

canned, smoked), product type (e.g., 

fillets, surimi, sections), net weight of 

the processed product, and the first 

wholesale value. 

II. Method of Collection 

The COAR may be submitted 

electronically through eLandings, the 

Interagency Electronic Reporting System 

(elandings.alaska.gov). The COAR is 

also available in fillable PDF, Microsoft 

Word, and Microsoft Excel formats on 

the ADF&G Commercial Fish Reporting 

web page at https://

www.adfg.alaska.gov/ 

index.cfm?adfg=fishlicense.coar and 

may be emailed or printed and mailed 

to the ADF&G.

Status: The February 26, 2024 

meeting will be open to public 

participation with a 15-minute public 

comment period at 3:15 p.m. EST. The 

ORAP expects that public statements 

presented at its meetings will not be 

repetitive of previously submitted 

verbal or written statements. In general, 

each individual or group making a 

verbal presentation will be limited to a 

total time of three minutes. Written 

comments for the February 26, 2024 

meeting should be received by February 

16, 2024 by the ORAP DFO (DFO.orap@

noaa.gov) to provide sufficient time for 

ORAP review. Written comments 

received by the ORAP DFO after this 

date will be distributed to the ORAP, 

but may not be reviewed prior to the 

meeting date. 

Special Accommodations: These 

meetings are physically accessible to 

people with disabilities. Requests for 

special accommodations may be 

directed to the ORAP DFO no later than 

12 p.m. EST on February 16, 2024. 

Matters to be Considered: During the 

ORAP meeting on Dec 13–14, 2023, the 

Ocean Policy Committee (OPC) 

requested that the ORAP advise on areas 

of opportunity for partnership (such as 

through the National Oceanic 

Partnership Program) on the topic of 

emerging technology (which could 

include Artificial Intelligence/Machine 

Learning, eDNA, and similar 

technology) with ocean industry and 

other sectors over the next 5–10 years. 

The OPC also requested that ORAP selfselect another topic to address. The 

ORAP members agreed that the topic of 

accessible, inter-operable, 

interdisciplinary, and trusted ocean data 

to meet research and user needs is 

critical and deserves ORAP immediate 

attention. At this virtual meeting on 

February 26, 2024, ORAP members will 

be discussing the approach to address 

those two OPC taskings based on an 

initial review of each topic conducted 

by ORAP members. Meeting materials, 

including work products, will be made 

available on the ORAP website: https:// 

www.noaa.gov/ocean-research-advisorypanel/orap-public-meetings.
