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.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0350.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information

Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Estimated Time Per Response: 45

We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

SUMMARY:
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/Processor Economic Data
Report (the EDR).
The EDR collects economic data on
the information for the Gulf of Alaska
Trawl Groundfish Economic Data
Report Program (GOA Trawl EDR
Program) and for Amendment 80 to the
Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area.
The GOA Trawl EDR Program
evaluates the economic effects of
current and potential future fishery
management measures for the GOA
trawl fisheries. This program provides
NMFS and the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) with
baseline economic information on
affected harvesters, crew, processors,
and communities in the GOA.
Amendment 80 primarily allocates
several Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries
among fishing sectors, and facilitates the
formation of harvesting cooperatives
among vessels in the non-American
Fisheries Act (non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/
Processor Cooperative Program. This
program established a limited access
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Jul 22, 2020
Jkt 250001
privilege program for the non-AFA trawl
catcher/processor sector.
Data collected through the EDR
includes labor information, revenues
received, capital and operational
expenses, and other operational or
financial data. NMFS and the Council
use this to assess the economic effects
of Amendment 80 on vessels or entities
regulated by the non-AFA Trawl
Catcher/Processor Cooperative Program,
and impacts of major changes in the
groundfish management regime,
including allocation of prohibited
species catch species and target species
to harvesting cooperatives.
The EDR is submitted annually by
each person who held an Amendment
80 Quota Share permit or was an owner
or leaseholder of an Amendment 80
vessel, or was an owner or leaseholder
of a vessel named on a License
Limitation Program groundfish license
with catcher/processor vessel and trawl
gear designations and endorsed for the
GOA during a calendar year. The EDR
requirements are located at 50 CFR
679.94.
II. Method of Collection
Pacific States Marine Fisheries
Commission (PSMFC) has been
designated by NMFS as the Data
Collection Agent. PSMFC mails EDR
announcements and filing instructions
to respondents by April 1 of each year.
Respondents are encouraged to
complete the form online on the PSMFC
website at www.psmfc.org/goatrawl/.
The EDR is also available as a fillable
PDF on the PSFMC website and may be
submitted by mail or fax.
