Privacy Act of 1974, New System of
Records
U.S. Department of Commerce,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act system of
records; ‘‘COMMERCE/NOAA–23;
Economic Data Collection Program for
West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch
Share Program off the coast of
Washington, Oregon, and California.’’
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
Department of Commerce (Department)
proposal for a new system of records
under the Privacy Act. NOAA’s National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS),
Northwest Fisheries Science Center
(NWFSC), is creating a system of records
for the mandatory collection of
economic data in the West Coast Region
consisting of the Economic Data
Collection (EDC) for West Coast
Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program.
Information will be collected from
individuals under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act and
the American Fisheries Act. This record
system is necessary to evaluate
information on costs of fishing and
processing, revenues for harvesters and
processors, and employment
information.
SUMMARY:
To be considered, written
comments must be submitted on or
before September 8, 2015. Unless
comments are received, the system of
records will become effective as
proposed on the date of publication of
a subsequent notice in the Federal
Register.
DATES:
Comments may be mailed to
Erin Steiner, NOAA Fisheries,
Northwest Fisheries Science Center,
FRAM Division, 2725 Montlake
Boulevard East, Seattle, WA 98112.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice announces the Department of
Commerce (Department) proposal for a
new system of records under the Privacy
Act. NMFS’ NWFSC is creating a system
of records for the EDC for the West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share
Program. This record system is
necessary to evaluate information on

costs of fishing and processing,
revenues for harvesters and processors,
and employment information.
Under the EDC, information would be
requested from individuals under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and the 50 CFR 660.114. This
collection would apply to all owners,
lessees, and charterers of a catcher
vessel registered to a limited entry trawl
endorsed permit, a mothership vessel
registered to a mothership permit, or a
catcher-processor vessel registered to a
catcher-processor-endorsed limited
entry trawl permit; owners of a first
receiver site license; and owners and
lessees of a shorebased processor that
received round or headed and gutted
individual fishing quota groundfish
species or whiting from a first receiver
are required to submit an EDC to the
NWFSC Economics and Social Science
Research Program (ESSR).
The collection of information is
necessary to identify participants and
their roles in these fisheries and to
evaluate the programs in which they
participate. NMFS would collect
information from individuals in order to
evaluate the economic effects of
fisheries programs, specifically the
effects on the harvesting and processing
sectors, and to determine the economic
efficiency and distributional effects of
the programs.

SYSTEM NAME:
COMMENRCE/NOAA–23, Economic
Data Collection (EDC) Program for West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share

The EDC system is designed as
follows: (1) Participants are required to
submit an annual EDC to the NMFS
Northwest Fisheries Science Center

EDC information with individual
identifiers to NOAA Office for
Enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard;
and (3) Upon request, NWFSC ESSR
will provide the EDC information with
individual identifiers to the Department
of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) to assist in anti-trust
analysis of the Program.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Department of Commerce (Department)
proposal for a new system of records under the Privacy Act. NOAA's
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northwest Fisheries Science
Center (NWFSC), is creating a system of records for the mandatory
collection of economic data in the West Coast Region consisting of the
Economic Data Collection (EDC) for West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch
Share Program. Information will be collected from individuals under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act and the American Fisheries Act. This record system is necessary to
evaluate information on costs of fishing and processing, revenues for
harvesters and processors, and employment information.
DATES: To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or
before September 8, 2015. Unless comments are received, the system of
records will become effective as proposed on the date of publication of
a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Erin Steiner, NOAA Fisheries,
Northwest Fisheries Science Center, FRAM Division, 2725 Montlake
Boulevard East, Seattle, WA 98112.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces the Department of
Commerce (Department) proposal for a new system of records under the
Privacy Act. NMFS' NWFSC is creating a system of records for the EDC
for the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. This record
system is necessary to evaluate information on costs of fishing and
processing, revenues for harvesters and processors, and employment
information.
Under the EDC, information would be requested from individuals
under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act and the 50 CFR 660.114. This collection would apply to
all owners, lessees, and charterers of a catcher vessel registered to a
limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership vessel registered to
a mothership permit, or a catcher-processor vessel registered to a
catcher-processor-endorsed limited entry trawl permit; owners of a
first receiver site license; and owners and lessees of a shorebased
processor that received round or headed and gutted individual fishing
quota groundfish species or whiting from a first receiver are required
to submit an EDC to the NWFSC Economics and Social Science Research
Program (ESSR).
The collection of information is necessary to identify participants
and their roles in these fisheries and to evaluate the programs in
which they participate. NMFS would collect information from individuals
in order to evaluate the economic effects of fisheries programs,
specifically the effects on the harvesting and processing sectors, and
to determine the economic efficiency and distributional effects of the
programs.

SYSTEM NAME:
COMMENRCE/NOAA-23, Economic Data Collection (EDC) Program for West
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program off the coast of Washington,
Oregon, and California.
SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
Moderate.
The EDC system is designed as follows: (1) Participants are
required to submit an annual EDC to the NMFS Northwest Fisheries
Science Center (NWFSC) Economics and Social Science Research Program
(ESSR); (2) Upon request, the NWFSC will provide the EDC information
with individual identifiers to NOAA Office for Enforcement and the U.S.
Coast Guard; and (3) Upon request, NWFSC ESSR will provide the EDC
information with individual identifiers to the Department of Justice
(DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to assist in anti-trust
analysis of the Program.
SYSTEM LOCATIONS:
NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center, 2725 Montlake Blvd. East,

mothership vessel that received whiting in 2009 or 2010 as recorded in
NMFS' North Pacific (NORPAC) database; all owners, lessees, and
charterers of a catcher processor vessel that harvested whiting in 2009
or 2010 as recorded in NMFS' NORPAC database; all owners and lessees of
a shorebased processor and all buyers that received groundfish or
whiting harvested with a limited entry trawl permit as listed in the
Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN) database in 2009 or

shorebased processor (as defined under ``processor'' at Sec. 660.11,
for purposes of EDC) that received round or headed-and-gutted
individual fishing quota species groundfish or whiting from a first
receiver in 2011 and beyond.
CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
System would include records for historical, annual, and current
EDCs including financial information, harvest activity and cost,
