SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries
Services (NMFS) Alaska Regional Office
is requesting extension of a currently
approved information collection for the
Prohibited Species Donation Program
(PSD Program).
Retention of incidentally caught
prohibited species is prohibited in the
groundfish fisheries except for salmon
and halibut for the purposes of the PSD
Program. The PSD Program allows
participating seafood vessels and
processors to retain salmon and halibut
bycatch for distribution to economically
disadvantaged individuals. Regulations
at 50 CFR 679.26 authorize the
voluntary distribution of salmon and
halibut taken incidentally in the
groundfish trawl fisheries off Alaska to
economically disadvantaged individuals
by tax-exempt organizations through an
authorized distributor.
The Administrator, Alaska Region,
NMFS (Regional Administrator) may
select one or more tax-exempt
organizations to be authorized
distributors, as defined at § 679.2. An
organization seeking to distribute
salmon bycatch and halibut bycatch
under the PSD Program must provide
the Regional Administrator with the
information listed at 50 CFR
679.26(b)(1).
