Title: Groundfish Trawl Catcher Processor Economic Data Report
(EDR).
OMB Control Number: 0648-0564.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission, extension of a current
information collection.
Number of Respondents: 22.
Average Hours per Response: 40 hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 880 hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS),
Alaska Regional Office, is requesting extension of the currently
approved information collection for the Annual Trawl Catcher/Processor
Economic Data Report (the EDR).
The EDR collects economic data for the groundfish trawl fleet
established by Amendment 80 to the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area.
Amendment 80 primarily allocates several Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing sectors,
and facilitates the formation of harvesting cooperatives among vessels
in the non-American Fisheries Act (non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/Processor
Cooperative Program. This program established a limited access
privilege program for the non-AFA trawl catcher/processor sector.
Data collected through the EDR includes labor information, revenues
received, capital and operational expenses, and other operational or
financial data. NMFS and the Council use this to assess the economic
effects of Amendment 80 on vessels or entities regulated by the non-AFA
Trawl Catcher/Processor Cooperative Program, and impacts of major
changes in the groundfish management regime, including allocation of
prohibited species catch species and target species to harvesting
cooperatives.
The EDR is submitted annually by each person who held an Amendment
80 Quota Share permit or was an owner or leaseholder of an Amendment 80
vessel, or was an owner or leaseholder of a vessel named on a License
Limitation Program groundfish license with catcher/processor vessel and
trawl gear designations and endorsed for the GOA during a calendar
year. The EDR requirements are located at 50 CFR 679.94.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq. The EDR is submitted annually by
each person who held an Amendment 80 Quota Share permit or was an owner
or leaseholder of an Amendment 80 vessel, or was an owner or
leaseholder of a vessel named on a License Limitation Program
groundfish license with catcher/processor vessel and trawl gear
designations and endorsed for the GOA during a calendar year. The EDR
requirements are located at 50 CFR 679.94.
