I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The Alaska Commercial Operator’s
Annual Report (COAR) is a report that
collects harvest and production
information broken out by specific
criteria such as gear type, area, delivery
and product type, and pounds and
value. The COAR is due by April 1 of
the year following any buying or
processing activity.
Any person or company who received
a Fisheries Business License from the
Alaska Department of Revenue and an
Intent to Operate Permit by Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G)
is required to annually submit the
COAR to the ADF&G, under Alaska
Administrative Code (AAC), chapter 5
AAC 39.130. In addition, any person or
company who receives an Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ)-only permit from
ADF&G annually must submit a COAR
to ADF&G. Any owner of a catcher/
processor or mothership with a Federal
permit operating in the EEZ off Alaska
is required to annually submit a COAR
to ADF&G under 50 CFR 679.5(p).
The COAR contains data on seafood
purchasing, production, ex-vessel
values, and first wholesale values for
seafood products. Containing
information from shoreside processors,
stationary floating processors,
motherships, and catcher/processors,
this data collection yields equivalent
annual product value information for all
respective processing sectors and
provides a consistent time series
according to which groundfish
resources may be managed more
efficiently. Use of the information
generated by the COAR is coordinated
between NMFS and the ADF&G.
