DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Amendment 80 Economic Data Report (EDR) for the Catcher/
Processor non-AFA Trawl Sector.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0564.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (renewal of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 28.
    Average Hours per Response: 20.
    Burden Hours: 560.
    Needs and Uses: This notice is for renewal of a currently approved 
information collection. NMFS Alaska Region manages the groundfish 
fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone under the Fishery Management 
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management 
Area (FMP). The North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) 
prepared the FMP under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. (MSA). 
Amendment 80 to the FMP primarily allocated several Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands Management Area non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries 
among fishing sectors, and facilitated the formation of harvesting 
cooperatives in the catcher/processor sector of the non-American 
Fisheries Act (non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/processor Cooperative Program 
(Program). The Program established a limited access privilege program 
for the non-AFA trawl catcher/processor sector.
    The Amendment 80 economic data report (EDR) collects cost, revenue, 
ownership, and employment data on an annual basis and provides 
information unavailable through other means to review the Program. The 
purpose of the EDR is to understand the economic effects of the 
Amendment 80 program on vessels or entities regulated by the Program, 
and to inform future management actions. Data collected through the EDR 
is mandatory for all Amendment 80 quota share (QS) holders.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
