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 Council Cooperative Reports.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0678.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 26.
    Average Hours per Response: Crab Rationalization Cooperative Annual 
Report, 30 hours; Rockfish Cooperative Annual Report, 45 hours; 
Amendment 80 Annual Cooperative Report, Amendment 80 Halibut Bycatch 
Avoidance Progress Report, American Fisheries Act (AFA) Catcher Vessel 
Intercooperative Agreement and AFA Annual Catcher Vessel 
Intercooperative Report, 40 hours each; Amendment 80 Halibut Prohibited 
Species Catch Management Plan; 12 hours.
    Burden Hours: 1,129.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of an 
existing information collection.
    The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 
U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the North Pacific 
Fishery Management Council (Council) to prepare and amend fishery 
management plans for any fishery in waters under its jurisdiction. 
NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) manages the U.S. 
groundfish fisheries of the exclusive economic zone off Alaska under 
the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska and 
the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area. The fishery management plans 
(FMPs) were approved by the Secretary of Commerce under authority of 
the Magnuson-Stevens Act as amended in 2006. The groundfish FMPs are 
implemented by regulations at 50 CFR part 679. The Crab FMP is 
implemented by regulations at 50 CFR part 680.
    In the last decade or more, the Council has developed several 
cooperative programs as options in larger catch share programs. As part 
of those cooperative programs, the Council required that cooperatives 
submit an annual written report detailing various activities of the 
cooperative. These reports are intended to be a resource for the 
Council to track the effectiveness of the cooperative and their ability 
to meet the Council's goals. Additionally, they are a tool for the 
cooperatives to provide feedback on the programs. Regulation provides a 
framework for the minimum required information for most of the reports, 
while the Council has the flexibility to augment this framework with 
additional information requests that may be pertinent to current issues 
in the fishery.
    This request combines voluntary, non-regulatory cooperative report 
elements from four collections (OMB Control Nos. 0648-0401, -0565, -
0678, and -0697) with the Annual Rockfish Cooperative Report from OMB 
Control Number 0648-0545 which contains both required (per 50 CFR 
679.5(r)) and voluntary data elements. The title of this collection is 
changed from ``Crab Rationalization (CR) Program: CR Cooperative Annual 
Report'' to read: ``Alaska Council Cooperative Annual Reports.'' In 
addition to presentation of the report before the Council, all of the 
annual reports must be submitted to the Council by email or fax for the 
April Council meeting.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary and required to obtain or retain 
benefits.
    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 OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: August 8, 2016.

NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
