SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Scale and catch weighing requirements address performance standards 
designed to ensure that all catch delivered to the processor is 
accurately weighed and accounted for. Scale and catch-weighing 
monitoring is required for Western Alaska Community Development Quota 
Program (CDQ) catcher/processors (C/Ps), American Fisheries Act (AFA) 
C/Ps, AFA motherships, AFA shoreside processors and stationary floating 
processors, Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program trawl C/Ps, non-AFA 
trawl C/Ps participating in Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) 
trawl fisheries, and longline C/Ps participating in BSAI Pacific cod 
fisheries.
    National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has identified three 
primary objectives for monitoring catch. First, monitoring must ensure 
independent verification of catch weight, species composition, and 
location data for every delivery by a catcher vessel or every pot by a 
C/P. Second, all catch must be weighed accurately using NMFS-approved 
scales to determine the weight of total catch. Third, the system must 
provide a verifiable record of the weight of each delivery. To 
effectively manage fisheries, NMFS must have data that will provide 
reliable independent estimates of the total catch.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents have a choice of either electronic or paper forms. 
Methods of submittal include email, online, mail, and facsimile 
transmission. Daily flow scale and hopper scale tests are reported 
using an electronic logbook. Printed reports are generated 
automatically by software. Video monitoring systems record and store 
video data automatically.

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 11,037.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $895,706 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.

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 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
