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 Region Scale and Catch 

Weighing Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0330. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (extension of 

a currently approved information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 

Average Hours per Response: 

Burden Hours: 

Needs and Uses: Scale and catch 

weighing requirements address 

performance standards designed to 

ensure that all catch delivered to the 

processor is accurately weighed and 

accounted for. Scale and catch-weighing 

monitoring is required for Western 

Alaska Community Development Quota 

Program (CDQ) catcher/processors (C/ 

Ps), American Fisheries Act (AFA) C/Ps, 

AFA motherships, AFA shoreside 

processors and stationary floating 

processors, Central Gulf of Alaska 

Rockfish Program trawl C/Ps, non-AFA 

trawl C/Ps participating in Bering Sea 

and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) trawl 

fisheries, and longline C/Ps 

participating in BSAI Pacific cod 

fisheries. 

National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) has identified three primary 

objectives for monitoring catch. First, 

monitoring must ensure independent 

verification of catch weight, species 

composition, and location data for every 

delivery by a catcher vessel or every pot 

by a C/P. Second, all catch must be 

weighed accurately using NMFSapproved scales to determine the weight 

of total catch. Third, the system must 

provide a verifiable record of the weight 

of each delivery. To effectively manage 

fisheries, NMFS must have data that 

will provide reliable independent 

estimates of the total catch. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Frequency: Annually, and daily for 

fishing period. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain benefit.
