Abstract: Commercial fisheries economic data collection programs implemented by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) address statutory and regulatory mandates to determine the quantity and distribution of net benefits derived from living marine resources as well as predict the economic impacts from proposed management options on commercial harvesters, shore side industries, and fishing communities. In particular, these economic data collection programs contribute to legally mandated analyses required under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMS), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), and Executive Order 12866 (E.O. 12866). This survey is a follow-up to a cost and earnings survey of the West Coast Drift Gillnet and Harpoon fleet that was conducted in 2010 and was administered by Hanan & Associates, Inc (OMB Control Number 0648-0369).
