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 Amendment 91 Bering Sea Chinook Salmon Bycatch Management 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. Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in the Privacy Act System of Records Notice COMMERCE/NOAA-16, Economic Data Reports for Alaska Federally Regulated Fisheries off the Coast of Alaska.

Disclosure: Furnishing this information is required to retain federal fishing permits or federal processing permits; failure to provide complete and accurate information will result in NMFS revoking these permits.

The Chinook Salmon Economic Data Report (EDR) Program provides additional data to assess the effectiveness of the Chinook salmon bycatch management measures implemented under Amendment 91 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area. The information collected is a combination of quantitative and qualitative data to conduct descriptive and quantitative analysis and comparisons of the annual and seasonal changes in the pollock fleet under Amendment 91.

An owner or leaseholder of an American Fisheries Act (AFA) permitted vessel and the representative of any entity that received an allocation of Chinook Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) from NMFS must complete and submit the Certification Page (Part 1) of a PSC Compensated Transfer Report (CTR) each year, for the previous calendar year.

Any person who paid or received money for a transfer of Chinook salmon PSC allocation after January 20 must complete and submit both the Certification Page and Chinook Salmon PSC Allocation Transfer Information (Parts 1 and 2) for the previous calendar year.

This CTR is intended to provide information to fishery managers to evaluate the effectiveness of Chinook salmon bycatch management measures. The CTR collects information on transfers of Chinook salmon PSC allocation to or from another person during each calendar year for which the transferor or transferee paid or received monetary compensation. Compensated transfers are those transfers that include monetary compensation for a part of or the whole value of the transferred Chinook PSC allocation.

Please provide all requested information.
