Associated RIN: 0648-BI65 84 FR 52852 published 10/03/2019
Under current regulations, the operator of any vessel making an IFQ landing must submit a PNOL to NMFS Office for Law Enforcement (OLE) no fewer than 3 hours before landing IFQ halibut, CDQ halibut, or IFQ sablefish, unless permission to commence an IFQ landing within 3 hours of notification is granted by a clearing officer. Vessel operators call NMFS OLE using a toll-free number to submit their PNOL.
Under this action, fishermen who choose to use pot gear will be required to report three additional things in their PNOL calls: number of pots set, number of pots lost, and number of pots left deployed on the fishing grounds. Vessels who choose to use longline pot gear in the Gulf of Alaska sablefish IFQ fishery are already required to report this additional information under Amendment 101.
As NMFS currently requires all vessels in the IFQ or CDQ halibut and IFQ sablefish fisheries to submit a PNOL to NMFS, this action will not change the number of respondents or responses, or change the burden or costs already incurred by the respondents.
