The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) has conservation and
management responsibilities for many living marine resources and their
habitat. NMFS collects and uses economic data to make more than a
cursory determination of whether a variety of provisions in the
applicable laws, Executive Orders (EOs), and NOAA or NMFS strategies
and policies have been met by past fishery conservation and management
actions or will be met by proposed actions. The relevant measures of
economic performance include costs, earnings, and profitability (net
revenue); productivity and economic efficiency; capacity; economic
stability; the level and distribution of net economic benefits to
society; and market power. The economic impacts include sector,
community, or region-specific and national employment, sales, value-
added, and income impacts. The efforts to monitor, explain and predict
changes in economic performance and impacts are ongoing and contribute
to the value of the information contained in regulatory analyses of
current and proposed fishery conservation and management measures,
stock assessment and fishery evaluation (SAFE) reports, as well as
other technical and scientific reports that address changes in economic
performance and impacts.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA).
