DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Economic Surveys of the Commercial and Charter Harvesting
Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries.
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 December 6, 2021(86 FR 69017) 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: Economic Surveys of the Commercial and Charter Harvesting
Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries.
OMB Control Number: 0648-XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission (a new collection).
Number of Respondents: 15,600.
Average Hours per Response: 1.03.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 17,100.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a new hybrid-generic clearance
for economic information collections (i.e., surveys) for the commercial
and charter harvesting sectors of federally managed fisheries. Once
approved, this clearance will allow the National Oceanic & Atmospheric
Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to:
1. Conduct charter sector surveys similar to those it had conducted
under previously approved but now discontinued collections.
2. As needed, conduct under the hybrid-generic clearance,
commercial sector surveys currently approved under OMB Control Number
0648-0773 as that clearance approaches its expiration date or as
changes to those surveys become necessary; and
3. Conduct additional commercial and/or charter sector surveys.
The requested hybrid-generic clearance is for information from the
commercial and charter harvesting sectors. That information includes
different components of operating costs/expenditures, earnings,
employment, ownership, vessel characteristics, effort/gear descriptors,
and demographic information. NMFS or its contractors would collect that
information principally from the owners and operators of fishing vessel
that participated in the commercial and/or charter harvesting sectors.
NMFS and Regional Fishery Management Council economist would use
these data to monitor, explain and predict changes in the economic
performance and impacts of federally managed fisheries. Those uses of
the data would allow more than cursory efforts to comply with or
support a variety of laws (e.g. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act), Executive Orders (EOs), and NOAA
strategies and policies. In addition, those uses of the data would
contribute to a well-informed, science-based fisheries conservation and
management decisions making process, which should increase the net
benefits to the Nation.
Affected Public: Individuals or households and Business or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Up to twice every two years.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: The Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act.
