SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final rule implements regulations to
modify recordkeeping and reporting requirements to remove pot gear tag
requirements in the sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) fishery in
the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and remove requirements to obtain and submit a
notary certification on various programs' application forms. NMFS
published a proposed rule to implement in the Federal Register on
October 6, 2021 (86 FR 55560) with comments invited through November 5,
2021. All comments submitted on or before November 5, 2021 were
considered in the development of this final rule and no substantive
changes have been made from the proposed rule in this final rule.
Background
In April 2021, the Council requested NMFS propose regulations
pursuant to section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act to remove the
requirements for sablefish IFQ fishermen using longline pot gear in the
GOA to annually register their vessel to participate in this fishery
and obtain and mark their gear with pot gear tags, as well as to remove
the requirement to obtain a notary certification on IFQ Program
application forms. Amendment 101 to the GOA FMP authorized the use of
longline pot gear in the sablefish IFQ fishery. The pot gear tag
requirements were implemented in the final rule implementing Amendment
101 pursuant to MSA section 305(d), but were not included in the FMP
(81 FR 95435, December 28, 2016). This final rule will modify
recordkeeping and reporting requirements to remove pot gear tag
requirements in the sablefish IFQ fishery in the GOA and remove
requirements to obtain and submit a notary certification on application
forms submitted under the halibut and sablefish IFQ Program, Charter
Halibut Limited Access Program (CHLAP), Community Quota Entity (CQE)
Program, License Limitation Program (LLP), and the Crab Rationalization
(CR) Program. The primary purpose for requiring a notary certification
was to prevent fraud and forgery by requiring the personal presence of
the signer and satisfactorily identifying the signer. The Council
determined, and NMFS agrees, that both the aforementioned pot gear tag
requirements and the notary requirements are unnecessary and
administratively burdensome on the fleet and NMFS alike.
The need for this rule and background information on the IFQ
Program, CQE Program, CHLAP, LLP, and the CR Program are explained in
more detail in the preamble to the proposed rule (October 6, 2021, 86
FR 55560). The purpose and impacts of this rule, as well as the
specific provisions included, are summarized in the following sections.
The purpose of this action is to remove recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that are no longer necessary. This action is intended to
reduce administrative burden on the regulated fishing industry and NMFS
by making two types of revisions to Federal regulations. First, this
rule removes regulations requiring the use of pot gear tags in the
longline pot gear sablefish IFQ fishery in the GOA. Second, this rule
removes notary certification requirements for several application forms
submitted to NMFS.
Pot Gear Tags
This rule removes the requirement that all pots deployed in GOA
sablefish areas have a pot gear tag that is (1) issued by NMFS and (2)
assigned by NMFS to a vessel that is licensed by the State of Alaska.
Regulations requiring a vessel owner to request and receive pot gear
tags by submitting an application to NMFS are removed. NMFS will no
longer issue pot gear tags to vessel owners. Vessel owners are no
longer required to submit an application to NMFS for the purpose of
assigning pot gear tags to the gear used by that vessel, and vessel
operators are no longer required to track individual pot gear tags
marked with a unique identifier that are assigned to their vessel.
Notary Certification
This rule removes requirements to obtain and submit a notary
certification on specific NMFS application forms. All affected
application forms submitted to NMFS continue to include a certification
attesting to agreement with a statement that the information submitted
on the application form is true and correct under penalty of perjury.
See 28 U.S.C. 1746. This certification is sufficient to deter fraud and
forgery, and to adequately enforce fraud and forgery should it occur.
This rule modifies regulations applicable to the halibut and
sablefish IFQ Program, CHLAP, CQE Program, LLP, and the CR Program. The
notary certification is removed from the following application forms.
IFQ Program
<bullet> Application for Eligibility to Receive QS/IFQ;
<bullet> Application for Transfer of QS;
<bullet> Application for Temporary Transfer of Halibut/Sablefish
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) (this includes: Category A IFQ transfer,
surviving beneficiary, Temporary military transfer, and IFQ transfer to
CDQ groups during year of low halibut abundance);
<bullet> Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be Designated
as a Recreational Quota Entity (RQE); and
[[Page 70752]]
<bullet> Application For Transfer Of Quota Share To Or From A
Recreational Quota Entity (RQE).
CQE Program
<bullet> Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be Designated
as a Community Quota Entity (CQE); and
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or From A
Community Quota Entity (CQE).
CHLAP
Application For Transfer Of Charter Halibut Permit (CHP).
LLP
Application For Transfer License Limitation Program Groundfish/Crab
License.
CR Program
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab Quota Share (QS);
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab Processor Quota Share
(PQS);
<bullet> Application to Become An Eligible Crab Community
Organization (ECCO);
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab QS/IFQ to or from an
Eligible Crab Community Organization (ECCO); and
<bullet> (Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Crab
Rationalization Program Quota Share (QS) Beneficiary Designation Form.
Regulations
This rule revises regulations at 50 CFR part 300, 50 CFR part 679,
and 50 CFR part 680 to (1) to remove pot gear tag requirements in the
sablefish IFQ fishery in the GOA and (2) remove requirements to obtain
and submit a notary certification on application forms.
Pot Gear Tags
This rule revises Sec. Sec. 679.7(f)(18) and (19), and
679.42(l)(2) through (l)(5), to remove regulations governing the
requirements to request and use pot gear tags when using longline pot
gear in the GOA sablefish IFQ fishery.
Notary Certification
This rule revises Sec. Sec. 300.67, 679.4, 679.41, and 680.41 to
remove requirements to obtain and submit a notary certification on
application forms submitted under the IFQ Program, CHLAP, CQE Program,
LLP, and CR Program.
This rule revises Sec. 300.67(i)(4) to remove the requirement to
obtain a notary certification on an application to transfer a CHP.
This rule revises Sec. 679.4(k)(7)(iii) to remove the requirement
to obtain a notary certification on an application for transfer of a
groundfish or crab LLP.
This rule revises Sec. Sec. 679.41(c)(3), 679.41(l)(3)(iii)(D),
679.41(m)(3)(v), and 679.41(n)(2)(iii)(D) to remove requirements to
obtain a notary certification on the following IFQ Program and CQE
Program Application forms:
<bullet> Application for Transfer of QS;
<bullet> Application for Temporary Transfer of Halibut/Sablefish
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) (This includes: Category A IFQ transfer,
surviving beneficiary, Temporary military transfer, and IFQ transfer to
CDQ groups during year of low halibut abundance.);
<bullet> Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be Designated
as a Recreational Quota Entity (RQE);
<bullet> Application For Transfer Of Quota Share To Or From A
Recreational Quota Entity (RQE);
<bullet> Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be Designated
as a Community Quota Entity (CQE); and
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or From A
Community Quota Entity (CQE).
The application for eligibility to receive QS or IFQ requires an
applicant to obtain and submit a notary certification. This requirement
is not included in regulations and will be removed from the form.
This rule revises Sec. Sec. 680.41(c)(2)(ii)(F)(2), 680.41(i)(2),
680.41(j)(2)(i)(C), and 680.41(k)(3)(ix) to remove requirements to
obtain a notary certification on the following CR Program application
forms:
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab Quota Share (QS);
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab Processor Quota Share
(PQS);
<bullet> Application to Become An Eligible Crab Community
Organization (ECCO);
<bullet> Application for Transfer of Crab QS/IFQ to or from an
Eligible Crab Community Organization (ECCO); and
<bullet> Application for CR Program Eligibility to Receive QS/PQS
or IFQ/IPQ by Transfer.
The BSAI CR Program QS beneficiary designation form is revised to
remove the requirement to obtain and submit a notary certification.
This rule also corrects a typographical error in Sec.
680.41(k)(3)(ix)(B)(1) to remove the word ``transferor'' and replace it
with ``transferee'' consistent with the preceding paragraph heading.
Comments and Responses
NMFS received one comment submission from a member of the public on
the proposed rule.
Comment 1: Notary certification requirements should not be removed
from Federal regulations and identifying information such as the
person's name, address, telephone number, business information, and
signature should be legible and verified by a notary to prevent fraud.
Response: NMFS will continue to collect identifying information
necessary to verify a person's identity in compliance with Federal law.
All application forms submitted to NMFS will continue to include a
certification whereby the applicant attests to a statement of agreement
that the information submitted on the application form is true and
correct under penalty of perjury. See 28 U.S.C. 1746. This
certification is sufficient to deter fraud and forgery, and to
adequately enforce the law should fraud and forgery occur.
Changes From Proposed to Final Rule
There have been no changes in this final rule from the proposed
rule.
Classification
NMFS is issuing this rule pursuant to section 305(d) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Pursuant to MSA section 305(d), this action is
necessary to carry out the BSAI FMP, the GOA FMP, and the Crab FMP,
because the aforementioned recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
no longer necessary to administer the fishery management programs
implemented under these FMPs. The NMFS Assistant Administrator has
determined that this rule is consistent with the BSAI FMP, the GOA FMP,
the Crab FMP, and other applicable law, subject to further
consideration after public comment.
Regulations governing the U.S. fisheries for halibut are developed
by the IPHC, the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the Council, and
the Secretary. Section 5 of the Halibut Act (16 U.S.C. 773c) allows the
regional council having authority for a particular geographical area to
develop regulations governing the allocation and catch of halibut in
U.S. Convention waters, as long as those regulations do not conflict
with IPHC regulations. The final action is consistent with the
Council's authority to allocate halibut catches among fishery
participants in the waters in and off Alaska.
The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA, finds good cause
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1) of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) to waive the 30-day delay in effectiveness provision of the APA
and make this rule effective immediately upon publication in the
Federal Register. Because this substantive rule relieves a restriction
by removing pot gear tag and notary certification requirements, the 30-
day delay in effectiveness serves no
[[Page 70753]]
purpose. Thus, this rule should not be subject to the 30-day delayed
effectiveness provision of the APA pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1). As
previously discussed, this rule removes the requirement that all pots
deployed in GOA sablefish areas have a pot gear tag that is (1) issued
by NMFS and (2) assigned by NMFS to a vessel that is licensed by the
State of Alaska. This rule also removes requirements to obtain and
submit a notary certification on specific NMFS application forms.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for the
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
Regulatory Impact Review
The Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended, requires an agency to
consider the impact of proposed rules on small entities. A Regulatory
Impact Review (RIR) was prepared to assess the costs and benefits of
available regulatory alternatives. The RIR considers all quantitative
and qualitative measures. A copy of this analysis is available from
NMFS (see ADDRESSES).
The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce
certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business
Administration during the proposed rule stage that this action would
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The factual basis for the certification was published in the
proposed rule and is not repeated here. No comments were received
regarding this certification. As a result, a regulatory flexibility
analysis was not required and none was prepared.
Information Collection Requirements
This final rule contains information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) and which have been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB Control
Numbers 0648-0272 (Alaska Pacific Halibut & Sablefish Fisheries:
Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ)); 0648-0334 (Alaska License Limitation
Program for Groundfish, Crab, and Scallops); 0648-0514 (Alaska Region
Crab Permits); and 0648-0575 (Alaska Pacific Halibut Fisheries:
Charter).
This final rule also contains information collection requirements
subject to review and approval by the OMB under the PRA. NMFS has
submitted these requirements to OMB for approval under OMB Control
Numbers 0648-0353 (Alaska Region Gear Identification Requirements) and
0648-0665 (Alaska Community Quota Entity (CQE) Program).
OMB Control Number 0648-0272
The notary certification is removed from five forms approved under
this control number. No changes are made to the estimated reporting
burdens for these applications as the estimates allow for differences
in the time needed to complete and submit the applications. Public
reporting burden per individual response is estimated to average 200
hours for the Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be Designated
as a Recreational Quota Entity (RQE); and 2 hours each for the
Application for Eligibility to Receive QS/IFQ, the Application for
Transfer of QS, the Application for Temporary Transfer of Halibut/
Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ), and the Application For
Transfer Of Quota Share To Or From A Recreational Quota Entity (RQE).
Removing the notary certification decreases the cost burden of
completing these forms.
OMB Control Number 0648-0334
The notary certification is removed from the Application for
Transfer License Limitation Program Groundfish/Crab License. No changes
are made to the estimated reporting burden for this application as the
estimate allows for differences in the time needed to complete and
submit the application. Public reporting burden per individual response
is estimated to average one hour. Removing the notary certification
decreases the cost burden of completing this form.
OMB Control Number 0648-0514
The notary certification is removed from five forms approved under
this control number. No changes are made to the estimated reporting
burdens for these applications as the estimates allow for differences
in the time needed to complete and submit the applications. Public
reporting burden per individual response is estimated to average 2.5
hours for the Application to Become An Eligible Crab Community
Organization (ECCO); 2 hours each for the Application for Transfer of
Crab Quota Share (QS), Application for Transfer of Crab Processor Quota
Share (PQS), Application for Transfer of Crab QS/IFQ to or from an
Eligible Crab Community Organization (ECCO); and 30 minutes for the
BSAI Crab Rationalization Program Quota Share (QS) Beneficiary
Designation Form. Removing the notary certification decreases the cost
burden of completing these forms.
OMB Control Number 0648-0575
The notary certification is removed from the Application for
Transfer Of Charter Halibut Permit (CHP). No changes are made to the
estimated reporting burden for this application as the estimate allows
for differences in the time needed to complete and submit the
application. Public reporting burden per individual response is
estimated to average two hours. Removing the notary certification
decreases the cost burden of completing this form.
OMB Control Number 0648-0353
This collection is revised to remove two forms associated with pot
gear tags: (1) IFQ Sablefish Longline Pot Gear: Vessel Registration and
Request for Pot Gear Tags; and (2) IFQ Sablefish Request for
Replacement of Longline Pot Gear Tags. These forms are no longer
necessary because this rule removes the requirements for vessel owners
participating in the longline pot gear sablefish IFQ fishery in the GOA
to register their vessel for this fishery and use pot gear tags.
Removing these requirements decreases the time burden and cost to
participants in this fishery.
OMB Control Number 0648-0665
This information collection is revised, and NMFS requests extension
of this collection for three years. This collection contains the
application used by a non-profit entity to be designated as a CQE and
contains the applications and reports submitted by CQEs to apply for a
CHP permit or LLP license; transfer IFQ, quota share, or guided angler
fish; and report and manage their fishing activities. This collection
is necessary for NMFS to manage the CQE Program.
Due to this rule, this collection is revised to remove the notary
certification from the Application for a Non-profit Corporation to be
Designated as a Community Quota Entity (CQE) and the Application for
Transfer of Quota Share to or From A Community Quota Entity (CQE). No
changes are made to the estimated reporting burdens for these
applications as the estimates allow for differences in the time needed
to complete and submit the applications. Removing the notary
certification decreases the cost burden of completing these forms.
The estimated number of respondents for this collection is 94; the
estimated total annual burden hours are 1,620 hours; and the estimated
total annual cost to the public for recordkeeping and reporting costs
is $895.
Public reporting burden per individual response is estimated to
average 200 hours for the Application for Nonprofit Corporation to be
Designated as a CQE; 40 hours for the CQE Annual Report; 20 hours for
the Application for a CQE to Receive a Non-trawl Groundfish LLP
License; 2 hours
[[Page 70754]]
each for the Application for Transfer of Quota Share to or from a
Community Quota Entity, the Application for a CQE to Transfer IFQ to an
Eligible Community Resident or Non-resident, and the Application for
Transfer (Lease) Between IFQ and Guided Angler Fish by a Community
Quota Entity (CQE); and 1 hour each for the CQE License Limitation
Program Authorization letter and the Application for Community Charter
Halibut Permit.
