potential) on charter operator and owner
behavior and welfare, it is necessary to
obtain a better general understanding of
the Alaska recreational charter boat
industry. Some information useful for
this purpose is already collected from
existing sources, such as charter vessel
logbooks administered by the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G).
In addition, a voluntary survey under
this OMB Control Number administered
to collect economic information for
three fishing seasons (2011–2013) from
business owners in the charter fleet was
administered between 2012 and 2014. It
collected information on vessel and
crew characteristics, services offered to
clients, spatial and temporal aspects of
their operations and fishing behavior,
and costs and earnings information for
the three fishing seasons prior to
implementation of the Halibut Catch
Sharing Plan. These data were collected
directly from the industry since they are
not available from other existing data
sources. A description of the previouslyfielded survey and a summary of the
results are available in a NOAA
Technical Memorandum that can be
accessed at https://www.afsc.noaa.gov/
Publications/AFSC-TM/NOAA-TMAFSC-299.pdf.
To evaluate changes in the charter
sector associated with the Halibut Catch
Sharing Plan, the National Marine
Fisheries Service’s (NMFS) Alaska
Fisheries Science Center proposes to
continue the implementation of the
survey of charter vessel owners to
collect annual cost, earnings, and
employment data that will supplement
logbook data collected by ADF&G. The
proposed data collection will provide
another three years of basic economic
information about the charter sector
beyond the 2011 to 2013 data that was
collected previously, including
revenues produced from different
products and services provided to
clients, fixed and variable operating
costs, and locations of purchases. These
data will support improved analysis and
of the effects of fisheries regulations on
the charter fishing industry, information
that is increasingly needed by the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
and NMFS to more completely
understand ongoing halibut allocation
issues and other fishery management
issues involving the charter industry.
The survey will have minor changes,
including, possibly, a small set of
questions about how charter vessels
have been impacted by a new
management program)
