###### Department of Commerce

*Title:*                     Alaska Rockfish Pilot Program.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0648-0545.                

*Form Number(s):*                     None.

*Average Hours per Response:*                     Applications for cooperative fishing quota, limited access fishery, entry-level fishery, and application to opt out of rockfish fishery, 2 hours each; application for inter-cooperative transfer of cooperative quota, 1 hour; cooperative catch report, 30 minutes; annual cooperative report, 40 hours; rockfish cooperative termination of fishing declaration, 15 minutes; vessel check-in/check out reports, 20 minutes; appeals, 4 hours.                

*Burden Hours:*                     496.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     As part of planning by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Rockfish Pilot Program was developed for management of three rockfish fisheries in the Central Gulf of Alaska (CGOA) in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the coast of Alaska. The Program was implemented in order to improve the economic efficiency of the CGOA rockfish fisheries and was designed to result in a slower-paced fishery that would allow the harvester to choose when to fish and therefore avoid poor weather and also to provide greater stability for processors by spreading production over a greater period of time. The Rockfish Pilot Program is scheduled to end December 31, 2011.                

*Affected Public:*                     Business or other for-profit organizations.
