SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is to initiate a new information collection using a
generic clearance to allow the Marine Recreational Information Program
(MRIP) to develop, test, and improve its surveys and methodologies.
Marine recreational anglers are surveyed to collect catch and effort
data, fish biology data, and angler socioeconomic characteristics.
These data are required to carry out provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as
amended, regarding conservation and management of fishery resources.
Marine recreational fishing catch and effort data are collected
through a combination of mail surveys, telephone surveys and on-site
intercept surveys with recreational anglers. The procedures utilized to
this effect will include but are not limited to experiments with levels
of incentives for various types of survey operations, focus groups,
cognitive laboratory activities, pilot testing, exploratory interviews,
experiments with questionnaire design, and usability testing of
electronic data collection instruments.
II. Method of Collection
Information will be collected through self-administered mail
surveys, face-to-face interviews, focus groups, telephone surveys and
online web surveys.
