The Aleutian Islands pollock fishery
was allocated to the Aleut Corporation, Adak, Alaska, for the
purpose of economic development in Adak, Alaska. The Aleut
Corporation is identified in Pub. L. 108199 as a business
incorporated pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act
(43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The statute requires the Aleut
Corporation's approval for participants and limits participation to
American Fisheries Act qualified entities and vessels less than or
equal to 60 ft overall length with certain endorsements.

Program Changes: "Copy of NMFS
Approval to Participants" has been removed as a separate
information collection in ROCIS due to its inclusion in the Annual
AI Pollock Fishery Letter Information collection in the supporting
statement. This combining of two information collections shows up
as a program change in ROCIS: decrease of 20 responses, 2 hours and
$28. Because there has been no fishing activity since 2010, burden
for a second letter from the corporation, notifying NMFS of changes
in approved vessels, has been removed. This results in a decrease
of 1 response and 16 hours. Adjustments: We are estimating one,
rather than five, appeals, resulting in a decrease of 4 responses
and 80 hours. Due to increased postage rates, the total
recordkeeping/reporting costs for the responses remaining in this
collection increased by $2.
