Abstract:
Individual fishing quotas for the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery, otherwise known as Trawl Rationalization, was implemented in January 2011 by the Pacific Fisheries Management Council. This mandatory data collection program will continue to collect economic cost earnings data from all harvesters and processors participating in the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery. This request is for minor clarifying revisions to the four questionnaires.

Short Statement:
Program Changes: Based on review of the completed economic data collection (EDC) forms submitted for the 2009 and 2010 operating years as well as discussions with survey respondents, the NMFS has modified the four forms which are used in this information collection. These modifications clarify instructions and make the requests for information more consistent with the accounting and bookkeeping systems used by survey recipients. However, the time to complete each form remains 8 hours. The collection of historical data required in the original request was a one-time requirement. This removes 268 one-time responses (annualized to 89 responses) and 712 annual hours. Recordkeeping and reporting costs have been reduced proportionately, by 89 x $20 or $1,780. Adjustment: There are 16 fewer respondents than for the previous submission, so there is an additional reduction of 16 responses and 128 hours. This results in further decrease in recordkeeping/reporting costs, of $20 x 16 or $320.
