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),

ANNUAL CHINOOK EDR AFA POLLOCK VESSEL FUEL SURVEY
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 used to harvest or
process pollock in the Bering Sea must submit the Vessel Fuel Survey each year, for the previous
calendar year.
This Fuel Survey is intended to provide information to fishery managers to evaluate the effectiveness of
Chinook salmon bycatch management measures. The Fuel Survey collects information on the quantity
and cost of all fuel consumed by each AFA vessel harvesting or processing pollock during the calendar
year.

PART 2: Vessel Fuel Consumption and Cost
Instructions
For each vessel operated by you in the AFA pollock fishery during calendar year 2018, report
the following information:
1. AFA Vessel Permit Number
2. Average rate of fuel consumption.
Report fuel consumption rates for the pollock fishery only.
For each vessel, report the average rate of fuel consumption under average operating
conditions during the calendar year. Report the fuel consumption rate separately for
operating while towing and operating while transiting (traveling between points on fishing
grounds, but not towing).
For motherships, report the rate of fuel consumption for transiting only. If you do not have
equipment on the vessel for actively monitoring the rate of fuel usage, provide the most
accurate estimate you can based on the best information you have available.
3. Annual Fuel Loaded and Total Cost.
For each vessel, report the total amount of fuel loaded to the vessel, in gallons, during the
calendar year and total cost of fuel for this vessel during the calendar year. Include all fuel
that was loaded and invoiced, even if not completely used or paid for during the calendar
year.
Do not include lubrication and fluids costs other than fuel.
