I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries
Services (NMFS), Alaska Regional
Office, is requesting extension of the
currently approved information
collection for the Annual Trawl Catcher
Vessel Economic Data Report (EDR) and
the Annual Shoreside Processor EDR.
The EDRs collects economic data on
the information for the Gulf of Alaska
Trawl Groundfish Economic Data
Report Program (GOA Trawl EDR
Program). The Gulf of Alaska Trawl
Groundfish Economic Data Report
Program evaluates the economic effects
of current and future groundfish
management measures for Gulf of
Alaska (GOA) trawl fisheries. This
program provides NMFS and the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council
with baseline information on affected
harvesters, crew, processors, and
communities in the GOA. Data collected
through the EDRs include labor
information, revenues received, capital
and operational expenses, and other
operational or financial data. NMFS and
the Council use this information to
assess the impacts of major changes in
the groundfish management regime,
including catch share program
implementation.
The Catcher Vessel GOA Trawl EDR
is submitted annually by owners or
leaseholders of catcher vessels that
harvest groundfish using trawl gear from
the GOA or parallel fisheries. This EDR
focuses on vessel identifiers,
employment data, and variable cost data
(associated with fuel usage and gear
purchases). The Processor GOA Trawl
EDR is submitted annually by owners or
leaseholders of shoreside processors or
stationary floating processors that
receive deliveries from vessels that
harvest groundfish using trawl gear from
the GOA or parallel fisheries. This EDR
focuses on employment and labor costs
OMB Control Number: 0648–0700.

Estimated Time per Response: Annual
Trawl Catcher Vessel EDR, 15 hours;

hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,800 hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Regulations at 50 CFR 648.8 and 697.8
require that owners of vessels over 25 ft
(7.6 m) in registered length that have
Federal permits to fish in the Greater
Atlantic Region display the vessel’s
name and official number. The name
and number must be of a specific size
at specified locations: the vessel name
must be affixed to the port and starboard
sides of the bow and, if possible, on its
stern. The official number must be
displayed on the port and starboard
sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on
an appropriate weather deck so as to be
clearly visible from enforcement vessels
and aircraft. The success of fisheries
management programs depends upon
regulatory compliance. The vessel
identification requirement, which is
required of all federally permitted
fishing vessels in the Greater Atlantic
region, is essential to facilitate
enforcement. The ability to link fishing
or other activities to a vessel owner or
operator is crucial to the enforcement of
regulations issued under the authority
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries
Conservation and Management Act.
When this information is clearly
displayed, it enables enforcement
personnel to easily identify Federal
permit holders while engaged in fishing.
II. Method of Collection
No information is submitted to the
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) as a result of this collection.
The vessel’s identification information
must be affixed to the vessel in the
designated locations, as specified in the
regulations.
