    Amendment 82 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the 
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (FMP) established a 
framework for the management of the Aleutian Islands subarea (AI) 
directed pollock fishery. An AI pollock fishery was allocated to the 
Aleut Corporation, Adak, Alaska, 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.
    Each year at least 14 days before harvesting pollock or processing 
pollock in the AI directed pollock fishery, the Aleut Corporation 
selects harvesting vessels and processors for participation in this 
fishery. The Aleut Corporation submits its selected participants to the 
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) for approval. On approval, 
NMFS mails 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.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
