Introduction

This report collects economic data on the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) Non-American Fisheries Act (Non-AFA) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Groundfish Trawl Catcher/Processor Sector, including Western Alaska Community Development Quota Program (CDQ) non-Pollock groundfish fisheries. The fisheries are referred to as Amendment 80 and GOA Trawl Groundfish fisheries. Pursuant to applicable regulations, data and identifiers reported may be used for program enforcement and determination of qualification for cooperative membership. Consequently, identifiers and data may be disclosed to NOAA Enforcement, NOAA General Counsel, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and NOAA Restricted Access Management Program. 

Each person who held an Amendment 80 Quota Share (QS) permit or a C/P vessel and trawl gear designated groundfish LLP license endorsed for the Central or Western GOA during a calendar year must submit a Non-AFA Trawl Catcher/Processor EDR for that calendar year for each Amendment 80 QS permit or Trawl C/P operated in the Central or Western GOA by that person. 

A completed EDR must be submitted for each calendar year on or before June 1 of the following year. An EDR must be timely and all information fields must be accurately completed according to instructions in this form. 

All required reports must be submitted to the NMFS Data Collection Agent, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission electronically or by mail at the address provided below.

EDR Validation
 
To make sure that each company is consistently and accurately completing the EDR, an audit may be performed by a qualified accountant for the purpose of validating the data reported in this form. This step will ensure that the data can be relied upon to produce accurate and reliable information for the Alaska groundfish trawl fisheries.

If selected for validation, auditors will verify the data report by comparing specific elements of the report with your accounting records. To make this process as efficient and non-intrusive as possible, we suggest that you:

	1.	Keep a copy of the completed EDR or certification pages you submit. Copy and attach extra sheets as needed.

	2.	Keep a file that has all of the supporting information used in the preparation of the EDR.

	3.	Make sure that the EDR agrees to the company’s highest level of financial information. For this purpose, the highest level of financial information is defined in order as:

		a.	Audited financial statements
		b.	Reviewed financial statements
		c.	Compiled financial statements
		d.	Tax returns.

Record only whole numbers. Round up dollar figures to the next highest dollar.
