Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area (FMP) established a
framework for the management of the
Aleutian Islands subarea (AI) directed
pollock fishery. The Aleut Corporation
receives an annual AI pollock allocation
for the purpose of economic
development in Adak, Alaska. The
Aleut Corporation is identified in Public
Law 108–199 as a business incorporated
pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.).
Regulations implementing the FMP
appear at 50 CFR part 679.
The Aleut Corporation’s AI pollock
fishery is set up so that harvesting
pollock in the AI directed pollock
fishery and processing pollock taken in
the AI directed pollock fishery are
authorized only for those harvesters and
processors that are selected by The
Aleut Corporation and approved by the
NMFS Regional Administrator.
Each year and at least 14 days before
harvesting pollock or processing pollock
in the AI directed pollock fishery, The
Aleut Corporation must submit its
selections to NMFS. The information
submitted by The Aleut Corporation
consists of the names of the harvesting
vessels and processors it has selected,
the Federal fisheries permit numbers or
Federal processor permit numbers of the
participants, and the fishing year for
which approval is requested.
On approval, NMFS sends The Aleut
Corporation a letter that includes a list
of the approved participants. A copy of
this letter must be retained on board
each participating vessel and on site
each shoreside processor at all times.
This information collection is
necessary for NMFS to obtain the list of
vessels and processors selected by The
Aleut Corporation to harvest and
process its annual AI pollock allocation.
The Aleut Corporation is required by
Federal regulations at 50 CFR
679.4(m)(2) to provide its selected
harvesters and processors to NMFS for
approval. Without this information,
NMFS would not know the participants
selected by The Aleut Corporation and
harvest rates could not be determined,
which may result in allocations being
exceeded.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain Benefits.
Legal Authority: Consolidated
Appropriations Act of 2004; MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act.

A variety of laws, Executive Orders
(EOs), and NOAA Fisheries strategies
and policies include requirements for
economic data and the analyses they
support. When met adequately, those
requirements allow better-informed
conservation and management decisions
on the use of living marine resources
and marine habitat in federally managed
fisheries. Obtaining these data improves
the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the
Regional Fishery Management Councils
(Councils) to monitor, explain and
predict changes in the economic
performance and impacts of federally
managed commercial fisheries.
Measures of economic performance
include costs, earnings, and profitability
(net revenue); productivity and
economic efficiency; capacity; economic
stability; the level and distribution of
net economic benefits to society; and
market power. The economic impacts
include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment,
sales, value-added, and income impacts.
Economic data are required to support
more than a cursory effort to comply
with or support the following laws, EOs,
and NOAA Fisheries strategies and
policies:
1. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA)
