SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, is
requesting renewal of the currently
approved information collection for the
Alaska License Limitation Program
(LLP) for Groundfish, Crab, and
Scallops.
The License Limitation Program (LLP)
restricts access to the commercial
groundfish, crab, and scallop fisheries
in the exclusive economic zone off
Alaska, except for certain areas where
alternative programs exist. The intended
effect of the LLP is to limit the number
of participants and reduce fishing

capacity in fisheries off Alaska. More
information on the LLP can be found on
the NMFS Alaska Region website and at
50 CFR 692, 679.4(g) and (k), and
679.7(i).
An LLP license is required for vessels
participating in directed fishing for LLP
groundfish species in the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) or Gulf of
Alaska (GOA), or fishing in any BSAI
LLP crab fisheries. An LLP license is
also required for any vessel deployed in
scallop fisheries in Federal waters off
Alaska (except for some diving
operations).
Vessels participating in directed
fishing for LLP groundfish species in the
GOA or BSAI, or fishing in any BSAI
LLP crab fisheries, must be named on a
valid copy of the LLP license that is on
board the vessel, with some exceptions.
An LLP groundfish or crab license
authorizes the license holder to deploy
the vessel in fisheries in accordance
with the specific area and species
endorsements, the vessel and gear
designations, the maximum length
overall (MLOA) specified on the license,
and any exemption from the MLOA
specified on the license.
An LLP scallop license authorizes the
person named on the license to catch
and retain scallops in compliance with
State of Alaska regulations using a
vessel that does not exceed the MLOA
specified on the license and the gear
designation specified on the license.
Unlike the LLP groundfish license, the
scallop license is not vessel specific. A
valid copy of the LLP scallop license
must be on board the vessel.
The LLP originally collected basic
information so that NMFS could
determine which owners of vessels were
issued LLP licenses. To receive an LLP
license, an eligible applicant needed to
apply during the application periods
established when the program was
implemented. As the application
periods and selection process for the
LLP licenses have ended, an LLP license
may now only be obtained through
transfer.
This information collection collects
information necessary for transfer of
LLP licenses for groundfish, crabs, and
scallops. This collection contains the
transfer appeals process and the
applications used to transfer an LLP
license.
An LLP license holder uses a transfer
application to transfer an LLP license to
a person who meets the eligibility
requirements. The transfer applications
collect information on the transferor, the
transferee, and the LLP license to be
transferred. The groundfish and crab
transfer application also collects
information on the rockfish quota share

to be transferred, the vessel currently
named on the LLP license, the vessel to
be named on the LLP license, and
ownership interest and transaction data.
II. Method of Collection

delivery, or fax. The transfer
applications are available as fillable
pdfs on the NMFS Alaska Region
website and may be downloaded,

submission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: This NTIA cybersecurity
multistakeholder process focuses on
promoting software component
transparency.1 Most modern software is
not written completely from scratch, but
includes existing components, modules,
and libraries from the open source and
commercial software world. Modern
development practices such as code
reuse, and a dynamic IT marketplace
with acquisitions and mergers, make it
challenging to track the use of software
components. The Internet of Things
compounds this phenomenon, as new
organizations, enterprises, and
innovators take on the role of software
developer to add ‘‘smart’’ features or
connectivity to their products. While
the majority of libraries and components
do not have known vulnerabilities,
many do, and the sheer quantity of
software means that some software
products ship with vulnerable or out-ofdate components.
The first meeting of this
multistakeholder process was held on
July 19, 2018, in Washington, DC.2
Stakeholders presented multiple
perspectives, and identified several
inter-related work streams:
Understanding the Problem, Use Cases
and State of Practice, Standards and
Formats, and Healthcare Proof of
Concept. Since then, stakeholders have
been discussing key issues and
developing products such as guidance
documents. NTIA acts as the convener,
but stakeholders drive the outcomes.
Success of the process will be evaluated
by the extent to which broader findings
on software component transparency are
implemented across the ecosystem.
The first set of stakeholder-drafted
documents on Software Bills of
Materials was published by NTIA in
November 2019. Those documents, and
subsequent consensus-approved drafts
from the community, are available at:
