Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Alaska Region requests an extension of this currently approved information collection for the Annual Trawl Catcher Vessel Economic Data Report and the Annual Shoreside Processor Economic Data Report. The Annual Trawl Catcher Vessel Economic Data Report and the Annual Shoreside Processor Economic Data Report are part of the Gulf of Alaska Trawl Economic Data Report Program, which evaluates the economic effects of current and future groundfish and prohibited species catch management measures for the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) trawl fisheries. This program includes a third economic data report (EDR), which is approved under OMB control number 0648-0564. The EDRs provide the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) and other analysts with baseline information on affected harvesters, crew, processors, and communities in the GOA. The data collected includes labor information, revenues received, capital and operational expenses, and other operational or financial data. The information collected through the EDRs can be used by NMFS and the Council as a baseline intended to assess major changes in groundfish management, including potential catch share programs for PSC species and target species.
