    Honorable Sarah Palin, Governor-EleclTransition OfficeAnchorage, AlaskaDear Governor-Elect Palin:Thank you for your letter yesterday regarding Gulf of Alaska rationalization. As you note, we arescheduled to resume discussion of this issue at our upcoming meeting next week, after a lengthy hiatus,and the focus of our discussion would be on simply reassessing where we are in the overall landseape.No major decisions are expected to be made at this time relative to Gulf rationalization, though inresponse to your concems. I expect the future nature and speed of our progress on this issue will be partof those d::-,"\; ss;ons by t ~ l " Council.Because Our Council agendas are set a month in advance of our meetings, approved by the Couneilmembership, and published in the fEDERAL REGISTER as required by law, it is not possible to removethis as an agenda item at this time. Additionally, many members of the public and fishing industry havemade travel and other plans to attend this meeting, specifically for discussions of this agenda item.It may well be that the Council hearing from these constituencies, and taking into account the concernsexpressed in your letter. will help us delennine an appropriate schedule and course of action that bestaccommodates those concems. Indeed, there may be smaller, interim measures, such as beginning thediscussion of possible sector splits. which although not part of rationalization, may be prudent to initiateat this time in order [0 better allow for a delayed consideration of the larger issue, Consistent with yourrequest.On behalf of the Council, I want you to know that we are eager to work with your Administration, allaffected members of the fishing industry, and dependent Alaska coastal communities to ensure we craftappropriate and effective management programs. We share your concern that any future rationalizationprogram is carefully discussed and designed well before any plan is considered for approval. We willtake your concerns into serious account as we discuss this issue at our Deeember meeting, and lookforward to working with )'OU in future Council deliberations on this important issue.Please contact me or the Council's Executive Director, Chris Oliver, if you or your staff have furtherquestions with regard to this or any other fisheries issues before lhe Council.Sincerely,

    Federal Financial Report(s) and/or Project Progress Report(s) for the awardSoutheast Alaska Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act (NA04NMF4070165).While my position is not responsible for the submission of financial status reports,the final financial report for this award appears to have been submitted prior to thedeadline. I confirmed with our recipient agency administrative services division staffthat the report was submitted via Grants Online timely on September 26.NMFS Alaska Region communicated in August that due to a Grants Online error innot listing any final comprehensive performance report for this award, there would beno final progress report due. I confirmed that understanding with the FederalProgram Officer in early September. I checked again today on Grants Online andthere does not appear to be any final progress report requirement nor any avenueavailable for its submission.My view is these delinquent reporting notices should be monitored in advance byGrants Online for their applicability and then sent only to the appropriate recipientagency personnel. Sending such notices for state departments to the AlaskaGovernor's Office and other external parties may create misimpressions and reflectnegatively on the recipient agency's compliance with federal reporting requirements.It would also be helpful if Grants Online would distinguish in such delinquent noticesbetween financial status and progress reporting, as in our department differentpersonnel are tasked separately with these two responsibilities.Thank you in advance for your consideration of these concerns.Respectfully,Stephen E.

This notice applies to one or more FederalFinancial Report(s) and/or Project Progress Report(s) for the award Southeast AlaskaInterjurisdictional Fisheries Act (NA04NMF4070165).While my position is not responsible for the submission of financial status reports, thefinal financial report for this award appears to have been submitted prior to the deadline.I confirmed with our recipient agency administrative services division staff that the reportwas submitted via Grants Online timely on September 26.NMFS Alaska Region communicated in August that due to a Grants Online error in notlisting any final comprehensive performance report for this award, there would be nofinal progress report due. I confirmed that understanding with the Federal ProgramOfficer in early September. I checked again today on Grants Online and there does notappear to be any final progress report requirement nor any avenue available for itssubmission.My view is these delinquent reporting notices should be monitored in advance by GrantsOnline for their applicability and then sent only to the appropriate recipient agencypersonnel. Sending such notices for state departments to the Alaska Governor's Officeand other external parties may create misimpressions and reflect negatively on therecipient agency's compliance with federal reporting requirements.It would also be helpful if Grants Online would distinguish in such delinquent noticesbetween financial status and progress reporting, as in our department differentpersonnel are tasked separately with these two responsibilities.Thank you in advance for your consideration of these concerns.Res pectfullyIStephen E.
