of the functions of the agency, including

agency’s estimate of the burden

or other forms of information

record.

This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) operates a voluntary fee-forservice seafood inspection program
(Program) under the authorities of the
Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as
amended, the Fish and Wildlife Act of
1956, and the Reorganization Plan No.
4 of 1970. The regulations for the
Program are contained in 50 CFR part
260. The program offers inspection
grading and certification services,
including the use of official quality
grade marks which indicate that specific
products have been Federally inspected.
Those wishing to participate in the
program must request the services and
submit specific compliance information.
In July 1992, NMFS announced new
inspection services, which were fully
based on guidelines recommended by
the National Academy of Sciences,
known as Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Point (HACCP). The information
collection requirements fall under
§ 260.15 of the regulations. These
guidelines required that a facility’s
quality control system have a written
plan of the operation, identification of
control points with acceptance criteria
and a corrective action plan, as well as
identified personnel responsible for
oversight of the system.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents have a choice of either
electronic or paper forms. Methods of
submittal include email of electronic
forms, and mail and facsimile
transmission of paper forms.

conducted in the Central Gulf of Alaska
by establishing cooperatives that receive
exclusive harvest privileges. Through
the RP, National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) (1) assigns rockfish
quota share (QS) and cooperative quota
to participants for rockfish primary and
secondary species; (2) allows a
participant holding a License Limitation
Program (LLP) license with rockfish QS
to form a rockfish cooperative with
other persons; (3) allows holders of
catcher/processor LLP licenses to optout of rockfish cooperatives each year;
(4) includes an entry level longline
fishery; (5) establishes sideboard limits,
which are limits designed to prevent
participants in the RP from increasing
their historical effort in other Gulf of
Alaska groundfish fisheries; and (6)
includes monitoring and enforcement
provisions. The Rockfish Program is
authorized for until December 31, 2021.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain benefits.
