Needs and Uses: NMFS, Alaska
Region (NMFS AKR), is requesting
renewal of this currently approved
information collection that consists of
paper logbooks and reports that are used
for management of the groundfish
fisheries in the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area (BSAI) and
the Gulf of Alaska (GOA), management
of the Individual Fishing Quota halibut
and sablefish fisheries, and management
of the BSAI Crab Rationalization
Program crab fisheries.
NMFS AKR manages the groundfish
and crab fisheries in the exclusive
economic zone (EEZ) of the BSAI and
the groundfish fisheries of the GOA
under fishery management plans (FMPs)
for the respective areas. The North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
prepared, and NMFS approved, the
FMPs under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, 16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq. Regulations
implementing the FMPs appear at 50
CFR parts 679 and 680. Regulations for
the logbooks and reports in this
information collection are at 50 CFR
679.5.
The information collected through the
paper logbooks and reports promotes
the goals and objectives of the fishery
management plans, the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, and other applicable
laws. The collection of reliable data is
essential to the effective conservation,
management, and scientific
understanding of the fishery resources.
Collecting information from fishery
participants is necessary to promote

successful management of groundfish,
crab, Pacific halibut, and salmon
resources. A comprehensive information
system that identifies the participants
and monitors their fishing activity is
necessary to enforce the management
measures and prevent overfishing. An
information system is also needed to
measure the consequences of
management controls. This collection
supports an effective monitoring and
enforcement system with information
that includes identification of the
participating vessels, operators, dealers,
and processors; location of the fishing
activity; timeframes when fishing and
processing is occurring; and shipment
and transfer of fishing products.
All vessels of the United States
harvesting EEZ fish and shoreside
processors, stationary floating
processors, and motherships receiving
EEZ-caught fish are required to hold a
Federal permit and thus comply with
reporting requirements per CFR 679.5.
The data collected are used for making
in-season and inter-season management
decisions that affect the groundfish
resources and the fishing industry that
uses them.
This information collection contains
four components: Paper logbooks, vessel
activity reports, check-in/check-out
reports, and product transfer reports.
• Daily logbooks provide data about
the location and timing of fishing effort,
as well as discard information of
prohibited species. NOAA Office for
Law Enforcement (OLE) and the United
States Coast Guard (USCG) use logbook
information during vessel boardings and
site visits to ensure conservation of
groundfish, compliance with
regulations, and reporting accuracy by
the fishing industry. The logbooks are
also an important source of information
for NMFS to determine where and when
fishing activity occurs and the number
of sets and hauls.
• A vessel activity report provides
information about fish or fish product
on board a vessel when it crosses the
boundary of the EEZ off Alaska or
crosses the U.S.-Canada international
boundary between Alaska and British
Columbia. NOAA OLE and USCG
boarding officers use this information to
audit and separate product inventory
when boarding a vessel. Without the
requirement to submit this prior to
crossing, vessel operators may be more
inclined to illegally fish in Federal
waters and claim retained product was
harvested from foreign or international
waters.
• Check-in/check-out reports provide
information on participation by
processors and motherships in the
groundfish fisheries. The check-in/
