SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    The Alaska Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program allocates to 
eligible communities a portion of the quotas for groundfish, halibut, 
crab, and prohibited species in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 
Management Area (BSAI). Currently, there are 98 CQE eligible 
communities (45 Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) and quota share (QS) 
halibut and sablefish, 32 charter halibut, and 21 License Limitation 
Program (LLP) communities), although only a few communities are 
currently participating. The allocations provide communities the means 
for starting or supporting commercial fisheries business activities 
that will result in an ongoing, regionally based, fisheries-related 
economy. A non-profit corporate entity that meets specific criteria to 
receive transferred halibut or sablefish QS on behalf of an eligible 
community may lease the resulting IFQ to persons who are residents of 
the eligible community.

II. Method of Collection
