Abstract: The Chinook Economic Data Report (EDR) Program would provide information to the analysts and the North Pacific Fisheries Management Council (Council) for determining the effectiveness of Amendment 91 to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area Fishery Management Plan (FMP). In addition to creation of the Chinook Salmon EDR (see OMB Control No. 0648-XXXX), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will revise this collection, OMB Control No. 0648-0401 (AFA Reports), and submit a temporary new information collection to be merged later with OMB Control No. 0648-0213 (Groundfish Family of Forms) to obtain additional data for the Chinook salmon analysis.
