PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq.

Purpose: In order to manage U.S. fisheries, the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service uses economic data reports (EDRs) under the Gulf of Alaska Trawl EDR Program to collect baseline information to inform the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) when making conservation and management decisions. The primary purpose for requesting costs and revenues from each participant is to develop baseline information on harvesters, processors, and communities. NOAA and the NPFMC will use this information in aggregate form.

Routine Uses: The Department will use this information to identify fishery participants and assess management impacts on harvesters, processors, and the surrounding communities. Disclosure of this information is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a), to be shared within NMFS offices, in order to coordinate monitoring and management of sustainability of fisheries and protected resources, as well as with the applicable State or Regional Marine Fisheries Commissions and International Organizations.
