Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Groundfish Trawl Catcher Processor Economic Data Report.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0564.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 30.
    Average Hours per Response: 22 hours per report.
    Burden Hours: 660.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    The Groundfish Trawl Catcher Processor Economic Data Report (the 
EDR) collects information for the Gulf of Alaska Trawl Groundfish 
Economic Data Report Program (GOA Trawl EDR Program) and for Amendment 
80 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 
Aleutian Islands Management Area.
    The GOA Trawl EDR Program evaluates the economic effects of current 
and future groundfish and prohibited species catch (PSC) management 
measures for GOA trawl fisheries. This program provides the National 
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the North Pacific Fishery 
Management Council with baseline information on affected harvesters, 
crew, processors, and communities in the GOA.
    Amendment 80 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the 
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area primarily allocates 
several BSAI non-pollock trawl groundfish fisheries among fishing 
sectors, and facilitates the formation of harvesting cooperatives among 
vessels in the Non-American Fisheries Act (non-AFA) Trawl Catcher/
Processor Cooperative Program. This program established a limited 
access privilege program for the non-AFA trawl catcher/processor 
sector.
    Data collected through the EDR includes labor information, revenues 
received, capital and operational expenses, and other operational or 
financial data. This information is used to assess the economic effects 
of Amendment 80 on vessels or entities regulated by the non-AFA Trawl 
Catcher/Processor Cooperative Program, and impacts of major changes in 
the groundfish management regime, including allocation of PSC species 
and target species to harvesting cooperatives.
    The EDR is submitted annually by vessel owners and leaseholders of 
GOA trawl vessels, processors receiving deliveries from those trawl 
vessels, and Amendment 80 catcher/processors harvesting in the GOA and 
BSAI. Submission of the EDR is mandatory.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: October 12, 2017.
