This information collection contains
the requirements for the annual rockfish cooperative report quota,
inter-cooperative quota transfers, and vessel check-in/check-out
and termination of fishing report for the Central Gulf of Alaska
Rockfish Program. The Rockfish Program is a catch share program for
the rockfish fisheries and other related groundfish species
conducted in Federal waters near Kodiak, Alaska, primarily by trawl
vessels, and to a lesser extent by longline vessels. This request
is for extension and revision of this information collection. This
collection is revised due to the associated rule implemented by
NMFS for Amendment 111 and a regulatory amendment to reauthorize
Rockfish Program (RIN 0648-BJ73). These changes are necessary to
remove unnecessary reporting requirements and to reduce the
reporting burden for all directly regulated entities including
small entities.
The annual number of
respondents and responses has been updated based on the most
recently available data. This corresponds to a decrease in the
annual burden time and cost.
