Abstract: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) would implement two new Economic Data Reports (EDRs) as part of a new Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Trawl Groundfish EDR Program to evaluate the economic effects of current and future groundfish and prohibited species catch (PSC) management measures for the GOA trawl fisheries. The EDRs will provide baseline information on affected harvesters, crew, processors, and communities in the GOA. The type of data collected would include labor information, revenues received, capital and operational expenses, and other operational or financial data. The information collected would be used to assess the impacts of major changes in the groundfish management regime, including catch share programs for PSC species and target species. One of the EDRs in this new program would be submitted by owners or leaseholders of catcher vessels fishing with trawl gear for GOA groundfish. The second EDR would be submitted by owners or leaseholders of shoreside processors or stationary floating processors receiving deliveries from vessels using trawl gear fishing for groundfish in the GOA.
