This is a resubmission, with the final rule, of a request by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Regional Office, for a new temporary collection. This request is due to a final rule to revise the monitoring requirements for pot catcher/processors participating in Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands groundfish fisheries (RIN 0648-BL69). This rule is necessary to address management challenges created by observer data collection errors. The rule adds a requirement for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands pot catcher/processors to comply with pre-cruise meeting notifications, which necessitates revisions to an existing information collection, OMB Control Number 0648-0318. Due to a concurrent action for -0318, NMFS is submitting this request to create a temporary collection for this revision to -0318. After publication of the final rule for this action and the final rule for the concurrent action, and after OMB approves the associated information collection requests, NMFS will submit a request to merge this temporary collection with -0318.
