DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


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 License Limitation Program for Groundfish, Crab, and 
Scallops.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0334.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 49.
    Average Hours per Response: Transfers, 1 hour; appeals, 4 hours.
    Burden Hours: 52.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    The License Limitation Program (LLP) restricts access to the 
commercial groundfish fisheries, commercial crab fisheries, and 
commercial scallop fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska 
except for certain areas where alternative programs exist. The intended 
effect of the LLP is to limit the number of participants and reduce 
fishing capacity in fisheries off Alaska.
    For a vessel designated on an LLP license, the LLP license 
authorizes the type of fishing gear that may be used by the vessel, the 
maximum size of the vessel, an area endorsement, and whether the vessel 
may catch and process fish at sea or if it is limited to delivering 
catch without at-sea processing. LLP licenses that allow vessels to 
catch and process at-sea are assigned a catcher/processor endorsement. 
LLP licenses specify the maximum length overall (MLOA) of the vessel to 
which that LLP license may be assigned. The LLP may also include a 
species endorsement for Pacific cod in the Bering Sea and Aleutian 
Islands management area (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA).
    An LLP license is required for vessels participating in directed 
fishing for LLP groundfish species in the BSAI or GOA, or fishing in 
any BSAI LLP crab fisheries. An LLP license is also required for any 
vessel deployed in scallop fisheries in Federal waters off Alaska 
(except for some diving operations).

[[Page 57954]]

    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: 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 [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: December 5, 2017.
