Abstract Existing recordkeeping and reporting requirements for participants in the groundfish fisheries of the exclusive economic zone off Alaska (Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska) would be revised to require owners of catcher/processors and motherships to complete the State of Alaska, Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) Commercial Operator's Annual Report (COAR), which provides information on ex-vessel and first wholesale values for statewide fish and shellfish products. This information currently is submitted to ADF&G by shoreside processors under State of Alaska regulations. The intent of this data collection is to require at-sea groundfish processors to submit these reports as well. II. Method of Collection ADF&G would provide the COAR to each mothership and catcher/processor on an annual basis to collect information from the previous year. The completed COAR and certification page would be sent by the processor to ADF&G for computer data entry. If no receipt or production took place, the processor would submit only a certification page that indicates no receipt or production took place for that year. Use of the COAR information would be coordinated between NMFS and the State of Alaska. III. Data *OMB Number* : None. *Form Number* : None. *Type of Review* : Regular submission. *Affected Public* : Business and other for-profit organizations. *Estimated Number of Respondents* : 134. *Estimated Time Per Response* : 8 hours. *Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours* : 1,072. *Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public* : $268.
