SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The National Marine Fisheries Service

(NMFS) is requesting renewal of OMB

approval of the information collection

requirements supporting the Western

Alaska Community Development Quota

(CDQ) Program. These requirements are

found in 50 CFR 679. The purpose of

the CDQ program is to allocate a portion

of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

fishing quotas for groundfish, halibut,

crab, and prohibited species to Western

Alaska communities to assist those

communities in starting and supporting

regionally-based commercial seafood or

other fishery-related businesses.

Communities wishing to obtain a CDQ

allocation must prepare Community

Development Plans. Upon receiving an

allocation, CDQ participants must

submit reports and file any necessary

amendments to their plan. Specific

requirements are shown in the estimates

of response times below.

In addition to existing requirements

being renewed, the clearance request

will contain four proposed additions or

revisions to the requirements. These are

a new CDQ Delivery Report, the

collection of additional information in

the CDQ Catch Report, a requirement for

prior notice to observers, and the

collection of additional information in

the Community Development Plans

(CDPs).

Three approved requirements are

proposed for removal—the CDQ CheckIn/Check-Out Report, the CDQ Permit,

and submission of Alaska Department of

Fish and Game (ADF&G) fish tickets.

The CDQ permit will be replaced by a

request for an inspection of the observer

sampling station (a subset of the original

permit information requirement). These

three elements are in the current

information collection clearance

because they were contained in a

proposed rule published in the Federal

Register on August 15, 1997 (62 FR

43865). However, NMFS has either

removed these elements or revised them

under a different element in the final

rule.

II. Method of Collection

Respondents would comply with

requirements set forth in 50 CFR 679.

Forms are used for some reports.
