Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Services NMFS, Alaska Region, is requesting extension of a currently approved information collection for American Fisheries Act reporting requirements.
NMFS manages the groundfish fisheries of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska.
The North Pacific Fishery Management Council Council prepared the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area FMP under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., and other applicable laws. Regulations implementing the FMP are at 50 CFR
part 679.
The Bering Sea pollock fishery is managed under the American Fisheries Act AFA. The purpose of the AFA was to tighten U.S. ownership standards for U.S. fishing vessels under the Antireflagging Act and to provide the Bering Sea pollock fleet the opportunity to conduct its fishery in a more rational manner while protecting non-AFA
participants in the other fisheries. The AFA established sector allocations in the Bering Sea pollock fishery, determined eligible vessels and processors, allowed the formation of cooperatives, set limits on the participation of AFA vessels in other fisheries, and imposed special catch weighing and monitoring requirements on AFA vessels.
This information collection contains the annual and periodic reporting requirements for AFA cooperatives.
These requirements include reports about on-going fishing operations of the cooperatives and reports specifically focused on efforts to minimize salmon bycatch in the Bering Sea pollock fishery. These reporting requirements are located at 50 CFR 679.21 and 679.61.
This information is used to manage the BS pollock fishery, to evaluate the salmon bycatch management measures, and to provide the public with information about how the program operates and information about bycatch reduction under this program. This information collection provides the Council and NMFS with information about the organization and fishing
