I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The objective of
the survey will be to understand divers’
and snorkelers’ expenditures associated
with recreational coral reef diving
activities in Hawaii, American Samoa,
CNMI, Guam, California, Florida and
the Caribbean. The survey was
previously implemented in Hawaii in
2019 and this revision proposes to make
the survey national in scope. The survey
will also collect information on divers’
attitudes, preferences, and concerns
about recreational diving and coral reefs
health. This survey will help to improve
our understanding of divers’ and
snorkelers’ expenditure patterns and to
estimate the economic impact of coral
reef related spending. Results of the
survey will be used to inform coastal
resource management planning and
establish a baseline for outreach and
education. The expenditure survey is
also expected to provide useful
information for local economic and
business interests.
II. Method of Collection
The survey will be conducted using
two modes: Mail and internet.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0765.

Number of Respondents: 2.
Average Hours per Response: Annual
Arbitration Organization Report, 6
hours; Cost Allocation Agreement, 16
hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 28.
Needs and Uses: The National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska
Regional Office, is requesting renewal of
a currently approved information
collection. This information collection
contains the reports for the Crab
Rationalization Program Arbitration
System.
The Crab Rationalization Program
allocates Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands (BSAI) crab resources among
harvesters, processors, and coastal
communities through a limited access
system that balances the interests of
these groups who depend on these
fisheries. Under the CR Program,
eligible License Limitation Program
license holders were issued crab quota
shares (QS), which are long term shares,
based on their qualifying harvest
histories. The QS yield annual
individual fishing quota (IFQ), which
represent a privilege to receive a certain
amount of crab harvested with IFQ.
Processor quota shares (PQS) are long
term shares issued to processors. The
PQS yield annual individual processor
quota (IPQ), which represent a privilege
to receive a certain amount of crab
harvested with Class A IFQ.
The Crab Rationalization Program
Arbitration System is a series of steps
that harvesters and processors can use
to negotiate delivery and price
contracts. The Arbitration System
allows unaffiliated Class A IFQ holders
to initiate an arbitration proceeding in
the event of a dispute to allow an
independent third party to provide a
review of harvester and processor
negotiation positions and provide an
independent and binding resolution to
issues under dispute. To use the
Arbitration System, a harvester must
commit deliveries to a processor and
initiate a binding arbitration proceeding
in advance of the season opening. The
Arbitration System is designed to
minimize antitrust risks for crab
harvesters and processors and is
intended to ensure that a reasonable
price is paid for all landings.
The Arbitration System requires
several information collections that are
submitted annually in accordance with
the regulations at 50 CFR 680.20. The
Annual Arbitration Organization Report,
the Market Report, and the Non-binding
Price Formula Report are the primary
reports submitted to NMFS each year.
Also submitted are the Contract
Arbitrator Report and the Cost
Allocation Agreement.

An Annual Arbitration Organization
Report is compiled by each of the two
arbitration organizations; one represents
the processors, and the second
represents the harvesters. This report
includes information on the arbitration
organization and its management
personnel, the crab QS fisheries to
which the report applies, the ownership
interest and the QS/IFQ or PQS/IPQ
held by each member; and the
arbitration process.
The Cost Allocation Agreement
provides combined shared arbitration
accounting costs. Federal regulations for
the CR Program require that the crab
arbitration costs are shared equally
between IPQ holders and Class A IFQ
holders—processors pay half and
fishermen pay half.
The arbitration organizations use
contracted parties to meet the
requirements of the Market Report, Nonbinding Price Formula Report, and
Contractor Arbitrator Report.
The Non-binding Price Formula
Report is a pre-season report that is
designed to serve as a starting point for
negotiations between fishermen and
processors, or as a starting point for an
arbitrator in evaluating offers in an
arbitration process. This report
documents how each formula was
developed.
The Market Report provides an
analysis of the market for products of a
specific crab fishery and reports on
activities occurring within three months
prior to its generation. The purpose of
this report is to provide background
information on each crab fishery, the
products generated by each fishery, and
position of those products in the
marketplace; discuss the historical
division of wholesale revenue; and
provide the methods for predicting
wholesale prices before the fishery
occurs.
The Contract Arbitrator Report
documents arbitration proceedings if
they occur within a fishery.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: Annually; On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
