PUBLIC BURDEN STATEMENT
A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to,
nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection
subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information
collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 0648-0700. Without this approval, we could not conduct this
information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be
approximately 15 hours per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completing
and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are
mandatory pursuant to 50 CFR 679 and section 402(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16
U.S.C. 1801, et seq.) as amended in 2006. Send comments regarding this burden to
Assistant Regional Administrator, Sustainable Fisheries Division, NOAA National Marine
Fisheries Service, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, AK 99802-1668. Responses to this information
request are confidential under section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. They are also
confidential under NOAA Administrative Order 216-100, which sets forth procedures to
protect confidentiality of fishery statistics.
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. 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.

Introduction
This report collects information on Gulf of Alaska Management Area (GOA) groundfish trawl
operations. Each owner or leaseholder of a vessel named on a Limited License Program (LLP)
groundfish license with catcher vessel and trawl gear designations and endorsed for the Gulf of
Alaska (GOA) during a calendar year must submit an Annual Trawl Catcher Vessel EDR for that
vessel.
A completed EDR must be submitted for each calendar year on or before June 1 of the following
year. An EDR must be timely and all information fields must be accurately completed according
to instructions in this form.
All required reports must be submitted to the NMFS Data Collection Agent, Pacific States Marine
Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) electronically or by mail at the address provided below.
EDR Validation
To make sure that each vessel owner or leaseholder is consistently and accurately completing
the EDR, an audit may be performed by a qualified accountant for the purpose of validating the
data reported in this form. This step will ensure that the data can be relied upon to produce
accurate and reliable information for the Alaska groundfish trawl fisheries.
If selected for validation, auditors will verify the data report by comparing specific elements of the
report with your accounting records. To make this process as efficient and non-intrusive as
possible, we suggest that you:
1. Keep a copy of the completed EDR and/or certification pages you submit. Copy and
attach extra sheets as needed.
2. Keep a file that has all of the supporting information used in the preparation of the EDR.
3. Make sure that the EDR agrees to the company’s highest level of financial information.
For this purpose, the highest level of financial information is defined in order as:
a.
b.
c.
