Any project, supported or not by a committee, that has not deposited records to the Records Office.
An ad hoc committee will determine what data and information are required to assess whether the distribution of federal fisheries management benefits is equitable. The committee will then identify what information and data currently exist, what additional information is needed, and any potential obstacles that may hinder collection of that information. Finally, the committee will present possible methodologies that NOAA Fisheries could use to assess the distribution of such benefits. The committee will consider benefits associated with commercial and for-hire fisheries.

Description
An ad hoc Committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is undertaking a study to:
- Determine the categories of information required to adequately assess where and to whom the primary benefits of commercial and for-hire fishery management accrue;
- Determine what information currently exists within those categories and what additional information, if any, NOAA Fisheries would need to collect;
- Identify potential obstacles to collecting this additional data; and
- Identify methodologies the agency could use to assess the relative distribution of benefits from federal commercial and for-hire fishery management based on available information.
