Abstract: This is a request by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Alaska Region for extension of this currently approved information collection for the Annual Alaska Chinook Salmon Economic Data Report (Chinook Salmon EDR). The Chinook Salmon EDR evaluates the effectiveness of Chinook salmon bycatch management measures for the Bering Sea pollock fishery that were implemented under Amendment 91 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area. The Chinook Salmon EDR Program provides information to the NMFS analysts and North Pacific Fisheries Management Council staff. It is intended to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Chinook Salmon Incentive Plan Agreement (IPA) (see OMB Control No. 0648-0401); to evaluate where, when, and how pollock fishing and salmon bycatch occur; and to provide data to study and verify conclusions drawn by industry in the IPA annual reports.
