This survey seeks to collect data on vessel's fixed cost information. The Northeast Fisheries Science Center's (NEFSC) Social Sciences Branch (SSB) collected annual cost information from commercial fishing vessel owners in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Data was collected via a voluntary mail survey associated with the federal fishing permit renewal application. However, because of the continuing decreasing response rates, the NEFSC discontinued the surveys after year 2009. The proposed data collection approach will be more scientific and rigorous. Proper steps will also be taken to increase response rates as well as to validate the collected data. These cost data will enable SSB to conduct more comprehensive research and analysis about the economic and social impacts of proposed and final fishery management actions, consistent with applicable laws such as the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
