    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Alaska Region Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Crab Economic 
Data Reports (EDR).
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0518.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a previously 
approved collection).
    Number of Respondents: 95.
    Average Hours per Response: 20 hours each for full Catcher Vessel 
Crab EDR and full Catcher/Processor Crab EDR; 16 hours for full 
Processor Crab EDR; 1 hour each for certification-only Catcher Vessel 
Crab EDR, certification-only Catcher/Processor Crab EDR, and 
certification-only Processor Crab EDR; and 8 hours for Verification of 
Data.

    Needs and Uses: This is an extension of a currently approved 
collection of information that covers the economic data collection

CR Program is a catch share program that allocates BSAI crab resources 
among harvesters, processors, and coastal communities.

    This information collection contains three forms: (1) Annual 
Catcher/Processor Crab EDR; (2) Annual Catcher Vessel Crab EDR; and (3) 
Annual Processor Crab EDR. This information collection also contains a 
data verification audit, to ensure that data submitted by respondents 
in the EDRs are accurate. Any owner or leaseholder of a vessel or 
processing plant, or a holder of a Registered Crab Receiver permit who 
harvested, processed, custom processed, or obtained custom processing 
for CR crab during a calendar year, must submit a completed EDR 
annually.
    The EDRs provide the data necessary to analyze the economic effects 
of the CR Program and the economic performance of participants in the 
program, and to estimate impacts of future issues, problems, or 
proposed revisions to the program. The data collected through the EDRs 
are used to prepare reports, program reviews, and analysis of proposed 
revisions to the CR Program regulations.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; Not-
for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
