DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Alaska Region Amendment 80 Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0565.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular. (Revision and extension to a previously 
approved collection).
    Number of Respondents: 25.
    Average Hours per Response: 2 hours each for Application for 
Amendment 80 (A80) Quota Share (QS), Application for A80 Cooperative 
Quota (CQ) Permit, Application for A80 Limited Access Fishery Permit, 
Application to Transfer A80 QS, Application for A80 Vessel Replacement, 
and Application for Inter-cooperative Transfer of A80 CQ; 4 hours for 
A80 appeals letter; 5 minutes for Flatfish Exchange Application.
    Burden Hours: 20 hours.
    Needs and Uses: This is an extension and a revision of a currently 
approved information collection that contains applications for permits 
and transfers necessary to manage the Amendment 80 (A80) Program. The 
A80 Program is a limited access privilege program that allocates 
several Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands non-pollock trawl groundfish 
species among trawl fishery sectors and facilitates the formation of 
harvesting cooperatives in the non-American Fisheries Act trawl 
catcher/processor sector.
    This collection contains applications used by persons to apply for 
A80 QS, to transfer A80 QS, and to apply for an A80 limited access 
fishery permit; by A80 cooperatives to apply for CQ and transfer CQ; by 
cooperatives or CDQ groups to exchange CQ for one eligible flatfish 
species with CQ of a different eligible flatfish species; and by A80 
vessel owners to replace their vessels.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service uses information from this 
collection to establish eligibility to receive A80 QS, CQ, and permits; 
transfer and assign harvest quota; replace vessels used in the A80 
Program; determine A80 species initial total allowable catch 
assignments; determine which vessels must be tracked for catch 
accounting; and review ownership and control information to ensure that 
QS and CQ use caps are not exceeded.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually; on occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
