collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on January 22,
2024, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30
days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration,
Commerce.
Title: Commercial Operator’s Annual
Report (COAR).
OMB Control Number: 0648–0428.
Form Number(s): None.

exporters, shore-based processors, and
floating processor permit holders
pursuant to Alaska Administrative Code
(5 AAC 39.130) and Federal regulations
at 50 CFR 679. Under 50 CFR 679.5(p),
NMFS requires motherships and catcher
processors that are issued a Federal
fisheries permit to annually complete
and submit the appropriate sections of
the COAR.
The COAR is used to gather statewide
fish and shellfish information
describing buying (ex-vessel) and
production (wholesale or retail)
activities. The information collected in
the COAR is used to determine the
value of Alaska’s fisheries resources and
products. NMFS uses the COAR
database in annual Federal publications
on the value of U.S. commercial
fisheries, in the annual NMFS Stock
Assessment and Fishery Evaluation
reports for the groundfish fisheries of
the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and
the Gulf of Alaska, and in periodic
reports that describe the fisheries and
that serve as reference documents to
management agencies, the industry, and
others.
The mothership and catcher processor
data, when added to the COAR
information collected from shoreside
processors and stationary floating
processors required under State of
Alaska requirements, yield a complete
data base of equivalent annual product
value information for all respective
processing sectors. The information also
provides a consistent time series
according to which groundfish
resources may be managed more
efficiently. Use of the information
generated by the COAR is coordinated
between NMFS and the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G).
The COAR must be submitted by
April 1 to the ADF&G for the previous
year’s activity for all operations that are
required to submit a COAR. NMFS
requires the owner of a mothership or
catcher processor to annually complete
and submit the appropriate forms of the
COAR, whether the processor operated
that year or not. If no receipt or
production took place for that year, the
owner submits only the COAR
certification page.
The COAR requires submission of
information on seafood purchasing,
production, and both ex-vessel and
wholesale values of seafood products.
The buying information is reported by
species, harvest area, area of purchase,
condition of fisheries resources at the
time of purchase, type of gear used in
the harvest, pounds purchased, and exvessel value. The ex-vessel value
includes any post-season adjustments or
bonuses paid after the fish was

purchased. The production information
is reported by species, area of
processing, process type (e.g., frozen,
canned, smoked), product type (e.g.,
fillets, surimi, sections), net weight of
the processed product, and the first
wholesale value.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
