DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Alaska American Fisheries Act 

(AFA): Permits. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0393. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(revision and extension of a current 

information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 27. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Application for AFA Permit for 

Replacement Vessel, 30 minutes; 

Application for AFA Cooperative 

Permit, 2 hours; Vessel Contract Fishing 

Notification, 4 hours; Approval as an 

Entity Eligible to Receive Transferable 

Chinook Salmon Prohibited Species 

Quota (PSC) Allocation, 8 hours; 

Application to Transfer Bering Sea 

Chinook Salmon PSC Allocation, 15 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 112. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision and extension of a currently 

approved information collection. 

In response to the American Fisheries 

Act (AFA), NMFS developed a 

management program for Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(BSAI) pollock to include a set of AFA 

permanent permits for AFA catcher/ 

processors, AFA catcher vessels, AFA 

inshore processors, and AFA 

motherships. All vessels and processors 

participating in the non-Community 

Development Quota (CDQ) BSAI pollock 

fishery are required to have valid AFA 

permits on board the vessel or on site 

at the processing plant. 

With the exceptions of the inshore 

vessel cooperatives, replacement vessel, 

and inshore vessel contract fishing 

applications, the AFA permit program 

had a one-time application deadline of 

December 1, 2000. All permitted 

participants in the AFA pollock fishery 

are already established and are issued 

with an indefinite expiration date. 

In a previous revision to this 

collection, a PSC limit of Chinook 

salmon was established for the pollock 

industry participants in an industrydeveloped contractual arrangement, 

called an incentive plan agreement 

(IPA) that establishes an incentive 

program to minimize bycatch at all 

levels of Chinook salmon abundance. 

NMFS issues transferable Chinook 

salmon PSC allocations to eligible 

entities representing the catcher/ 

processor sector, the mothership sector, 

inshore cooperatives, and CDQ groups. 

Transferable allocations provide the 

pollock fleet the flexibility to maximize 

the harvest of pollock while maintaining 

Chinook salmon bycatch at or below the 

PSC limit. 

Revision: The notary signature 

requirements have been removed from 

the Application for Replacement Vessel 

and the Application for Inshore Catcher 

Vessel Cooperative Permit. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually and on occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefits.
