Abstract: This change request would modify the Amendment 80 EDR to increase quality and accuracy of the data and efficiency of the EDR submission process. After conducting workshops with the affected fishing owners in June 2008 and January-February 2009, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) determined that it is necessary to include additional instructions in the EDR form and make minor modifications to some of the EDR questions. The former block format was changed to table format. These changes will ensure consistent interpretation, align data entry with industry recordkeeping practices, and obtain better quality data. The details of all changes to the EDR are provided in the Attachment to the Justification for Change. REQUESTING APPROVAL NLT MARCH 15, 2009, AS FORMS MUST GO OUT TO RESPONDENTS BY MARCH 27, TO ALLOW FOR ADEQUATE TIME TO RESPOND BY JUNE 1.
