SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The North Pacific Observer Program
(Observer Program) is implemented
under the authority of section 313 of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
regulations at 50 CFR 679. Through the
Observer Program, the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) collects the
data necessary to conserve and manage
the groundfish and halibut fisheries off
Alaska. Observers collect biological
samples and fishery-dependent
information used to estimate total catch
and interactions with protected species.
Managers use data collected by
observers to manage groundfish and
prohibited species catch within
established limits and to document and
reduce fishery interactions with
protected resources. Scientists use
observer data to assess fish stocks, to
provide scientific information for
fisheries and ecosystem research and

fishing fleet behavior, to assess marine
mammal interactions with fishing gear,
and to assess fishing interactions with
habitat.
All vessels and processors that
participate in federally managed or
parallel groundfish and halibut fisheries
off Alaska are assigned to one of two
categories: (1) The full observer
coverage category, where vessels and
processors obtain observer coverage by
contracting directly with observer
providers; or (2) the partial coverage
category, where NMFS, in consultation
with the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council determines when
and where observer coverage is needed.
Some vessels and processors may be in
full coverage for part of the year and
partial coverage at other times of the
year depending on the observer
coverage requirements for specific
fisheries. Funds for deploying observers
on vessels in the partial coverage
category are provided through a system
of fees based on the gross ex-vessel
value of retained groundfish and
halibut. This observer fee is assessed on
all landings by vessels that are not
otherwise in full coverage. Information
collected for the observer fee is
approved under OMB Control No. 0648–
0711.
II. Method of Collection
Methods of submittal include online
web applications, email, email
attachments, verbal communication by
telephone or in person, and on paper by
mail or fax. The Observer Declare and
Deploy System (ODDS) is an internetbased interface that is used by vessel
owners and operators in the partial
coverage category. ODDS is available
online at https://
chum.afsc.noaa.gov:7104/apex/
f?p=140:1 or by phone at 1–855–747–
6377. Copies of observer coverage
category request forms are available on
the NMFS Alaska Region website at
https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/.
