• Description:
  This Regulatory Impact Review (RIR) examines the benefits and costs of proposed fishery management plan and regulatory amendments affecting Economic Data Reporting (EDR) programs in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) crab fisheries, the BS American Fisheries Act (AFA) pollock fishery, the BSAI Amendment 80 fisheries, and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) trawl fisheries. The action Alternatives, analyzed in this RIR would potentially (1) revise authorizations for third party data verification audits, (2) eliminate blind data formatting, (3) standardize data aggregation procedures, (4) change the frequency of EDR information collections, and (5) remove individual EDR program requirements. These potential actions are all amendments to mandatory annual census reporting requirements intended to improve the usability, efficiency, and consistency of the data collection programs and to minimize cost to industry and the Federal government.
