Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Florida Fishing and Boating Survey
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on May 6, 2022 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Florida Fishing and Boating Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0769.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission (revision and extension of a
current information collection).
Number of Respondents: 3,120.
Average Hours per Response: 0.05 hours (3 minutes).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 156.
Needs and Uses: This request is for an extension and revision of a
currently approved information collection and is sponsored by NOAA's
Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC).
The objective of the data collection effort under OMB Control
Number 0648-0769 is to understand how anglers and boaters respond to
changes in trip costs and/or fishing regulations in Florida (both in
waters of the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic Ocean). This will
improve the analysis of the economic effects of proposed changes in
fishing regulations and changes in economic factors that affect the
cost of fishing and boating such as fuel prices. The survey will be
used to develop predictive models that forecast how fishing and boating
effort changes when either trip costs change or when fishing
regulations (season length or bag limits) change. The survey will ask
about the number of trips anglers take under current costs and
regulations and anticipated number of trips when costs and/or
regulations change.
The population to be surveyed consists of anglers and boat owners
with a license to fish in the Gulf of Mexico or South Atlantic from
Florida. The sample will be drawn from a list of licensed Florida
anglers and registered Florida boat owners. Anglers/boat owners will be
emailed an invitation to the online survey that directs them to a
website to complete the survey. Changes proposed to the collection
include the addition of respondents on the Atlantic Coast of Florida,
adapting the survey to ask about all federally managed fish in the
Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, and removing the mail component and
financial incentives of the survey.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Frequency: Twice per calendar year.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
