years 2014-2016. Data will be collected from all catcher vessels 
registered to a limited entry trawl endorsed permit, catcher processors 
registered to catcher processor permits, and motherships registered to 
mothership permits, first receivers, and shorebased processors that 
received round or head-and-gutted IFQ groundfish or whiting from a 
first receiver to provide the necessary information for analyzing the 
effects of the West Coast Groundfish Trawl Catch Share Program.
    As stated in 50 CFR 660.114, the EDC forms due on September 1, 2015 
will provide data for the 2014 operating year.
