SUMMARY: NMFS issues a proposed rule
that would change the economic data
report (EDR) submission deadline from
May 1 to June 28. This action is
necessary to provide adequate time for
crab harvesters and processors
participating in the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization
Program to submit accurate and
complete data on an EDR for the
previous fishing year and permit enough
time for issuance of crab permits for the
current year. This action is intended to
promote the goals and objectives of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act).
Written comments must be
received by May 17, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with PROPOSALS
Background
The Crab Rationalization Program (CR
Program) includes a comprehensive
economic data collection program to aid
the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council and NMFS assess the success of
the CR Program and develop
amendments to the CR Program. An
EDR contains cost, revenue, ownership,
and employment data. These data are
collected annually from the crab
harvesting and processing sectors,
including owners and lessees of catcher
vessels, catcher/processors, and owners
and operators of shoreside and floating
processors. The data are used to study
the economic impacts of the CR Program
on harvesters, processors, and
communities. Data submission is
mandatory.
An EDR is required for historical data
and annual data for each of four
categories of participant in the CR
fisheries: catcher vessel, catcher/
processor, stationary floating crab
processor, and shoreside crab processor.
This rule would apply only to the
annual EDRs.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:31 May 01, 2006
Jkt 208001
This action would not add reporting,
recordkeeping, and other compliance
requirements. The number of smallentity respondents is anticipated to
decrease dramatically compared with
the current fishery. This decrease is due
to the consolidation of BSAI crab
operations from initial quota allocation,
fleet reduction of 25 vessels in the BSAI
crab buyback program, and from the
opportunity to form cooperatives. Most
of the EDR historical data were collected
during this first year of the CR Program
as a one-time submission. After the
submission of historical data, small
entities continuing to participate in the
crab fisheries are required to submit an
annual EDR. The number of crab
harvesting entities that continue to meet
SBA criteria for being small entities is
anticipated to be greatly reduced over
the pre-quota fisheries.
Need for Action
NMFS originally chose May 1 as the
EDR submission deadline because
NMFS estimated that data records
would be readily available after the
April 15 income tax filing deadline.
However, several individuals have
reported that a May 1 deadline for
annual EDRs does not allow enough
time for preparers to match EDR data to
comprehensive and accurate financial
documentation, such as financial
statements and tax returns. When
preparers request tax extensions, tax
returns and statements are seldom
complete by May 1. Even if taxes were
submitted by April 15, EDR preparers
have only two weeks to gather tax forms
from preparers, complete the EDRs, and
file them by May 1. This short period
leaves little time to complete EDR data
entry fields and could adversely affect
the quality of data reported on EDRs.
Providing additional time to file EDRs
should not delay issuance of annual
quota share permits. Timely submission
of a completed annual EDR is a
condition to receiving an annual quota
share permit from the NMFS Restricted
Access Management Program office
(RAM). The Pacific States Marine
Fisheries Commission reports names of
those with completed EDRs filings to
RAM shortly after the EDR filing
deadline. RAM will issue annual quota
share permits approximately one month
after the EDR filing deadline.
Classification
NMFS has determined that the
proposed rule is consistent with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act and other
applicable laws. This rule has been
determined to be not significant for the
purposes of Executive Order 12866.

NMFS prepared an initial regulatory
flexibility analysis (IRFA) as required by
section 603 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act. The IRFA describes the economic
impact this proposed rule, if adopted,
would have on small entities. A
description of the action, why it is being
considered, and the legal basis for this
action are contained at the beginning of
the preamble and in the SUMMARY
section of this document. A copy of the
IRFA is available from NMFS (see
ADDRESSES). A summary of the analysis
follows:
The EDRs require data from fishing
operations that are small entities as
identified by the Small Business
Administration (SBA). This action
would apply to 311 entities, consisting
of 275 catcher vessels, 12 catcher/
processors, 20 shoreside processors, 4
stationary floating crab processors. This
action would also apply to 6 Western
Alaska Community Development Quota
(CDQ) groups. Approximately 238 small
entities own crab harvesting vessels or
crab catcher/processors. Eight
processors qualify as small entities.
Each of the six CDQ groups is a small
entity.
This action would not add reporting,
recordkeeping, and other compliance
requirements. The number of smallentity respondents is anticipated to
decrease dramatically compared with
the current fishery. This decrease is due
to the consolidation of BSAI crab
operations from initial quota allocation,
fleet reduction of 25 vessels in the BSAI
crab buyback program, and from the
opportunity to form cooperatives. Most
of the EDR historical data were collected
during this first year of the CR Program
as a one-time submission. After the
submission of historical data, small
entities continuing to participate in the
crab fisheries are required to submit an
annual EDR. The number of crab
harvesting entities that continue to meet
SBA criteria for being small entities is
anticipated to be greatly reduced over
the pre-quota fisheries.
This rule contains a collection-ofinformation requirement subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that
has been approved by OMB under
Control Number 0648–0518. Public
reporting burden per individual
response is estimated to average 7.5
hours for annual catcher vessel EDR;
12.5 hours for annual catcher/processor
EDR; 10 hours for annual stationary
floating crab processor EDR; and 10
hours for annual shoreside processor
EDR. Response time estimates include
the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources,
gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing

comments regarding this burden
estimate, or any other aspect of this data
collection, including suggestions for
reducing the burden, to NMFS (see
ADDRESSES) and by e-mail to
DavidlRostker@omb.eop.gov, or fax to
202–395–7285.
Notwithstanding any other provision
of the law, no person is required to
respond to, nor shall any person be
subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject
to the requirements of the PRA, unless
that collection of information displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Location
This rule does not duplicate, overlap,
or conflict with other Federal
regulations.
This action does not have any adverse
impacts on regulated small entities.
