###### National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

                    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.

*Respondent's Obligation:*                     Required to obtain or retain benefits.                

*Legal Authority:*                     Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.                

                    This information collection request may be viewed at                     *www.reginfo.gov.*                     Follow the instructions to view the Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB.
