Abstract: NOAA proposes to collect economic performance data for West Coast and Alaska commercial fisheries through a cooperative agreement with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. The data will be used: (1) To monitor the economic performance of these fisheries through primary processing and (2) to analyze the economic effects of current, proposed, and alternative management measures. The collections would be done to meet responsibilities under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866.
