SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection. The groundfish tagging
program provides scientists with
information necessary for effective
conservation, management, and
scientific understanding of the
groundfish fishery off Alaska and the
Northwest Pacific. The program area
includes the Pacific Ocean off Alaska
(the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Area, and the
Alexander Archipelago of Southeast

Alaska), California, Oregon, and
Washington. Fish movement
information from recovered tags is used
in population dynamics models for
stock assessment. There are three
general categories of tags. Simple plastic
tags (spaghetti tags) are external tags
approximately two inches long, printed
with code numbers. When a tag is
returned, the tag number is correlated
with databases of released, tagged fish to
determine the net movement and
growth rate of the tagged fish. Archival
tags are microchips with sensors
encased in plastic cylinders that record
the depth, temperature or other data,
which can be downloaded electronically
from the recovered tags. Pop-off satellite
tags are programmed to release from the
fish and upload archived data (depth,
temperature, and approximate
geolocation) to passing satellites,
therefore data is received independent
of the fishery. The groundfish tagging
and tag recovery program is part of the
fishery resource assessment and data
collection that the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducts
under the Magnuson-Stevens Act
authority as codified in 16 U.S.C.
1801(a)(8).
II. Method of Collection
This is a volunteer program requiring
the actual tag from the fish to be
returned, along with recovery
information. Reporting forms with preaddressed and postage-free envelopes
are distributed to processors and catcher
vessels.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0276.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection).
Affected Public: Not-for-profit
institutions; State, local, or tribal
government; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
440.
Estimated Time per Response: 5
minutes for returning a regular tag, and
20 minutes for returning an internal
archival tag.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 89.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $30 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs (if the fisherman chooses to return
an electronic tag himself instead via a
NMFS observer).
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
