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 0648-XXXX), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) will create this temporary new information collection to be merged later with OMB No. 0648-0213 (Groundfish Family of Forms), and revise OMB No. 0648-0401 (AFA Reports) to obtain additional data for the Chinook salmon analysis.
