SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for revision of an existing information collection.
    The purpose of this collection is for each sector in the Bering Sea 
and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) groundfish fisheries to 
inform the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (Council) of 
their progress on voluntary, non-regulatory methods they are using 
within their fishery cooperatives to reduce halibut mortality and to 
report the effectiveness of those actions in absolute reductions in 
halibut mortality.
    At the June 2015 meeting, the Council requested that, in addition 
to providing the BSAI Halibut Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) Progress 
Report, Amendment 80 cooperatives provide their 2016 Halibut PSC 
Management Plans at the December 2015 Council meeting. Since 2011, all 
vessels and companies participating in the Amendment 80 sector have 
been affiliated with one of two Amendment 80 cooperatives, the Alaska 
Seafood Cooperative or the Alaska Groundfish Cooperative. The plans 
should be designed not just to accommodate the revised hard caps, but 
to bring savings to levels below the hard cap.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents have a choice of either electronic or paper forms. 
Methods of submittal include email of electronic forms, and mail and 
facsimile transmission of paper forms.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-0697.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (revision of an existing

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden

(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.
