The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) for clearance the
following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Groundfish Trawl Catcher
Processor Economic Data Report.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0564.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 30.
Average Hours per Response: 22
hours per report.
Burden Hours: 660.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a current information
collection.
The Groundfish Trawl Catcher
Processor Economic Data Report (the
EDR) collects information for the Gulf of
Alaska Trawl Groundfish Economic
Data Report Program (GOA Trawl EDR
Program) and for Amendment 80 to the
Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area.
The GOA Trawl EDR Program
evaluates the economic effects of
current and future groundfish and
prohibited species catch (PSC)
management measures for GOA trawl
fisheries. This program provides the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council with baseline
information on affected harvesters,
crew, processors, and communities in
the GOA.
Amendment 80 to the Fishery
Management Plan for Groundfish of the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
Management Area primarily allocates
several BSAI non-pollock trawl
groundfish fisheries among fishing
sectors, and facilitates the formation of
harvesting cooperatives among vessels
in the Non-American Fisheries Act
(non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/Processor
Cooperative Program. This program
established a limited access privilege
program for the non-AFA trawl catcher/
processor sector.
Data collected through the EDR
includes labor information, revenues
received, capital and operational

expenses, and other operational or
financial data. This information is used
to assess the economic effects of
Amendment 80 on vessels or entities
regulated by the non-AFA Trawl
Catcher/Processor Cooperative Program,
and impacts of major changes in the
groundfish management regime,
including allocation of PSC species and
target species to harvesting
cooperatives.
The EDR is submitted annually by
vessel owners and leaseholders of GOA
trawl vessels, processors receiving
deliveries from those trawl vessels, and
Amendment 80 catcher/processors
harvesting in the GOA and BSAI.
Submission of the EDR is mandatory.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
