This notice announces the Department of Commerce (Department) proposal for a new system of records under the Privacy Act. NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC), is creating a system of records for the mandatory collection of economic data in the West Coast Region consisting of the Economic Data Collection (EDC) for West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. Information will be collected from individuals under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the American Fisheries Act. This record system is necessary to evaluate information on costs of fishing and processing, revenues for harvesters and processors, and employment information.

[Docket No. 150720624-5624-01]


Privacy Act of 1974, New System of Records

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration.

ACTION: Notice of Privacy Act system of records; ``COMMERCE/NOAA-23; 
Economic Data Collection Program for West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch 
Share Program off the coast of Washington, Oregon, and California.''

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice announces the Department of Commerce (Department) 
proposal for a new system of records under the Privacy Act. NOAA's 
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northwest Fisheries Science 
Center (NWFSC), is creating a system of records for the mandatory 
collection of economic data in the West Coast Region consisting of the 
Economic Data Collection (EDC) for West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch 
Share Program. Information will be collected from individuals under the 
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management 
Act and the American Fisheries Act. This record system is necessary to 
evaluate information on costs of fishing and processing, revenues for 
harvesters and processors, and employment information.

DATES: To be considered, written comments must be submitted on or 
before September 8, 2015. Unless comments are received, the system of 
records will become effective as proposed on the date of publication of 
a subsequent notice in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Erin Steiner, NOAA Fisheries, 
Northwest Fisheries Science Center, FRAM Division, 2725 Montlake 
Boulevard East, Seattle, WA 98112.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces the Department of 
Commerce (Department) proposal for a new system of records under the 
Privacy Act. NMFS' NWFSC is creating a system of records for the EDC 
for the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program. This record 
system is necessary to evaluate information on costs of fishing and 
processing, revenues for harvesters and processors, and employment 
information.
    Under the EDC, information would be requested from individuals 
under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act and the 50 CFR 660.114. This collection would apply to 
all owners, lessees, and charterers of a catcher vessel registered to a 
limited entry trawl endorsed permit, a mothership vessel registered to 
a mothership permit, or a catcher-processor vessel registered to a 
catcher-processor-endorsed limited entry trawl permit; owners of a 
first receiver site license; and owners and lessees of a shorebased 
processor that received round or headed and gutted individual fishing 
quota groundfish species or whiting from a first receiver are required 
to submit an EDC to the NWFSC Economics and Social Science Research 
Program (ESSR).
    The collection of information is necessary to identify participants 
and their roles in these fisheries and to evaluate the programs in 
which they participate. NMFS would collect information from individuals 
in order to evaluate the economic effects of fisheries programs, 
specifically the effects on the harvesting and processing sectors, and 
to determine the economic efficiency and distributional effects of the 
programs.
COMMERCE/NOAA-23

SYSTEM NAME:
    COMMENRCE/NOAA-23, Economic Data Collection (EDC) Program for West 
Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program off the coast of Washington, 
Oregon, and California.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    Moderate.
    The EDC system is designed as follows: (1) Participants are 
required to submit an annual EDC to the NMFS Northwest Fisheries 
Science Center (NWFSC) Economics and Social Science Research Program 
(ESSR); (2) Upon request, the NWFSC will provide the EDC information 
with individual identifiers to NOAA Office for Enforcement and the U.S. 
Coast Guard; and (3) Upon request, NWFSC ESSR will provide the EDC 
information with individual identifiers to the Department of Justice 
(DOJ) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to assist in anti-trust 
analysis of the Program.

SYSTEM LOCATIONS:
    NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center, 2725 Montlake Blvd. East, 
Seattle, WA 98112
