Abstract:
This request is for an extension of a currently approved information collection. An Individual Fishing Quota Program for the West Coast groundfish trawl fishery 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. These participants include catcher vessels (who deliver to both shoreside first receivers and at sea motherships), motherships, catcher-processors, and first receivers/shorebased processors. Northwest Fishery Science Center (NWFSC) economists will use these data to examine how the implementation of catch share management affects fleet structure, production costs, employment, generation and distribution of economic rent, and regional economic impacts. Analysis based on this data will not only be used for providing information to the Pacific Fisheries Management Council on changes to the catch share program, but also to meet monitoring requirements for catch share programs in the Magnuson-Stevens Act. There is no change to the requirements of this collection. However, the one existing IC was broken out into 5 ICs to provide transparency.

Short Statement:
This request is for an extension - new ICs are shown reflect previously approved burdens, but for administrative purposes they have been split out into individual ICs from the previous combined IC entitled 'Economic data collections for catcher vessels, catcher-processors, motherships and first receivers.' This will add additional transparency into the burdens of this collection to the public going forward.
