Request; Alaska Prohibited Species 

Donation Program 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on December 4, 

2023, during a 60-day comment period. 

This notice allows for an additional 30 

days for public comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

Title: Alaska Prohibited Species 

Donation Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0316. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(extension of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: One. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Application to be a NMFS Authorized 

Distributor: 50 hours. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 17 

hours. 

Needs and Uses: The Prohibited 

Species Donation (PSD) Program for 

salmon and halibut has effectively 

reduced regulatory discard of salmon 

and halibut by allowing fish that would 

otherwise be discarded to be donated to 

needy individuals through tax-exempt 

organizations. Vessels and processing 

plants participating in the PSD Program 

voluntarily retain and process salmon 

and halibut bycatch. An authorized, tax 

exempt distributor, chosen by the 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), is responsible for monitoring 

retention and processing of fish donated 

by vessels and processors. The 

authorized distributor also coordinates 

processing, storage, transportation, and 

distribution of salmon and halibut. The 

PSD Program requires an information 

collection so that NMFS can monitor the 

authorized distributors’ ability to 

effectively supervise program 

participants and ensure that donated 

fish are properly processed, stored, and 

distributed. 

Affected Public: Not-for-profit 

institutions. 

Frequency: Every three years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits. 

Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act.
