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; National Saltwater Angler Registry and State Exemption Program
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 March 8, 2024, during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: National Saltwater Angler Registry and State Exemption
Program.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0578.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [extension of a current
information collection].
Number of Respondents: 976.
Average Hours per Response: 0.05 hours.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 49.
Needs and Uses: This request is for the extension of a currently
approved collection. The National Saltwater Angler Registry and State
Exemption Program (Registry Program) was established to implement
recommendations included in the review of national saltwater angling
data collection programs conducted by the National Research Council
(NRC) in 2005/2006, and the provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens
Reauthorization Act, codified at Section 401(g) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), which require the
Secretary of Commerce to commence improvements to recreational
fisheries surveys, including establishing a national saltwater angler
and for-hire vessel registry, by January 1, 2009. A final rule that
includes regulatory measures to implement the Registry Program (RIN
0648-AW10) was adopted and codified in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P. The
Registry Program collects identification and contact information from
those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in recreational
fishing in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone or for anadromous
fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are exempted from the
registration requirement. Data collected includes--for anglers: Name,
address, date of birth, telephone contact information and region(s) of
the country in which they fish; for for-hire vessels: Owner and
operator name, address, date of birth, telephone contact information,
email address, vessel name and registration/documentation number and
home port or primary operating area. This information is compiled into
a national and/or series of regional registries that is being used to
support surveys of recreational anglers and for-hire vessels to develop
estimates of recreational angling effort.
Affected Public: Individuals or households; Business or other for-
profit organizations.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA) Section 401(g) and 50 CFR 600, Subpart P.
