Title: Amendment 42 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs 
Abstract: NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 42 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs (FMP). Amendment 42 revises the annual economic data reports currently required from catcher vessels, catcher/processors, shoreside processors, and stationary floating crab processors participating in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Rationalization Program. The economic data reports include cost, revenue, ownership, and employment data in order to study the economic impacts of the Crab Rationalization Program on harvesters, processors, and affected communities. Amendment 42 will eliminate redundant reporting requirements, standardize reporting across respondents, and reduce costs associated with the data collection.
