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 Rockfish Program: Permits and Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0545.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 9.
    Average Hours per Response: Application for Rockfish Cooperative 
Fishing Quota (CQ), 2 hours; Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer 
of Rockfish CQ and Rockfish Volume & Value Report, 30 minutes; Annual 
Rockfish Cooperative Report, 40 hours; Vessel Check-in/Check-out & 
Termination Report and Rockfish Fee Payment, 10 minutes each.
    Burden Hours: 498.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection.
    The Rockfish Program determines the access and allocation of the 
Central Gulf of Alaska (GOA) rockfish fisheries and associated halibut 
prohibited species catch (PSC), also known as the rights of access to 
the fishery. Cooperatives were established to receive exclusive harvest 
privileges for rockfish primary and secondary species. These resource 
allocations are used to assign the available resources in an economic 
way. In the case of halibut, a specific amount of halibut mortality is 
assigned to the cooperative, because halibut is often caught 
incidentally with rockfish.
    The rockfish fisheries are conducted in Federal waters near Kodiak, 
Alaska, primarily by trawl vessels, and to a lesser extent by longline 
vessels. The Rockfish Program allocates harvest privileges to holders 
of License Limitation Program (LLP) licenses with a history of Central 
GOA rockfish landings associated with those licenses.
    Revision: Two forms that are no longer applicable have been 
removed, and one has been added.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually and on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
