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 Crab Arbitration.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0516.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Average Hours Per Response: 6.
    Burden Hours: 12.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    The Crab Rationalization Program (CRP) allocates Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands (BSAI) crab resources among harvesters, processors, 
and coastal communities through a limited access system that balances 
the interests of these groups who depend on these fisheries.
    The Crab Rationalization Program Arbitration System (CRPAS) is a 
series of steps that harvesters and processors can use to negotiate 
delivery and price contracts. The Arbitration System allows 
unaffiliated Class A individual fishing quota holders to initiate an 
arbitration proceeding in the event of a dispute to allow an 
independent third party to provide a review of harvester and processor 
negotiation positions and provide an independent and binding resolution 
to issues under dispute. To use the arbitration system, a harvester 
must commit deliveries to a processor and initiate a binding 
arbitration proceeding in advance of the season opening. The 
Arbitration System is designed to minimize antitrust risks for crab 
harvesters and processors and is intended to ensure that a reasonable 
price is paid for all landings.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to retain or obtain 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.

NOAA PRA Clearance Officer.
