Abstract:
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Alaska Region (AKR) requests an extension of this currently approved information collection for the economic data reports (EDRs) for the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program (CR Program). The purpose of the crab EDRs is to gather information about ownership, revenue, cost, vessel operations, and employment to analyze the economic effects of the CR Program and the economic performance of participants in the program, and to estimate impacts of future issues, problems, or proposed revisions to the program. The data collected through the EDRs are used to prepare reports, program reviews, and analysis of proposed revisions to the CR Program.
