The Crab Rationalization Program (CR Program) allocates Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab resources among harvesters, processors, and coastal communities with a mandatory economic data collection report (EDR). Section 313 (j) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act authorizes a mandatory economic data report (EDR) to be used "to study the impacts of the CR Program," to insure that the program will achieve "equity between the harvesting and processing sectors," and to monitor the "economic stability for harvesters, processors, and coastal communities." The Magnuson-Stevens Act also provides specific guidance on the type of data to be collected, requirements for selecting a collection agent, verification of data, and treatment and distribution of confidential data that are included in this collection.

This action is a renewal without program change to EDRs or regulations. Adjustments: • There was a net increase of one respondent, based on the most recent records. • NMFS increased the estimated burden hours for completion and submittal of the different types of EDR, which then increased the miscellaneous costs (for accountant fees) to complete and submit the EDRs. • For the Verification of Data, It is estimated that approximately one-third of submitted EDR forms will need to be audited in any given year due to questionable or omitted data. In the 2008 renewal, which should have been shown as applying to only 1/3 of responses, burden and cost for verification of all responses was included. For this renewal, the adjustment is made to show auditing of only 1/3 of responses. Total estimated changes are shown below: ♦ Catcher Vessel EDR Respondents and responses changed from 100 to 90. Burden hours changed from 750 hours to 3,114 hours. Miscellaneous costs changed from $ 75,139 to $ 311,464. ♦ Catcher/processor EDR Respondents and responses changed from 10 to 5 Burden hours changed from 125 hours to 185 hours Miscellaneous costs changed from $ 12,515 to $ 18,508. ♦ Stationary floating crab processor EDR Respondents and responses changed from 5 to 8 Burden hours changed from 50 hours to 102 hours Miscellaneous costs changed from $ 5,008 to $ 10,202. ♦ Shoreside processor EDR Respondents and responses changed from 16 to 29 Burden hours changed from 160 hours to 781 hours Miscellaneous costs changed from $ 16,024 to $ 78,113. ♦ Verification of data Respondents and responses changed from 131 to 44 Burden hours changed from 393 to 352 Miscellaneous costs changed from $41,920 to $36,080. Net changes: increase of one respondent, decrease of 86 respondents, increase of 3,056 hours and increase of $303,761 in miscellaneous costs.
