Abstract: The Crab Rationalization (CR) Program is a limited access system authorized by section 313(j) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The CR Program includes a cost recovery provision to collect fees to recover the actual costs directly related to the management, data collection, and enforcement of the program. National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed the cost recovery provision to conform to statutory requirements and to partially reimburse the agency for the unique added costs of management, data collection, and enforcement of the Program.
