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; Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure 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 July 30, 2024 during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: Marine Recreational Fishing Expenditure Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0693.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [revision and extension of a
current information collection].
Number of Respondents: 28,106.
Average Hours per Response: Trip Expenditure survey 7 minutes,
Durable Good Surveys 15 minutes, HI Charter Trip Expenditures 5
minutes, and HMS Trip Expenditure 6.5 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,160 hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for revision and extension of an
approved information collection. As specified in the Magnuson-Stevenson
Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (and reauthorized in
2007), NMFS is required to enumerate the economic impacts of the
policies it implements on fishing participants and coastal communities.
The objective of the survey is to collect information on marine
(saltwater) recreational fishing trip expenditures and durable good
expenditures made by marine recreational anglers. The survey has two
parts which may be conducted either jointly during the same calendar
year or in separate years. The trip expenditure portion will ask
anglers about the expenses incurred on their most recent marine
recreational fishing trip. The durable goods portion will ask anglers
about their purchases of durable goods such as fishing gear, boats,
vehicles, and second homes over a 12-month period. The expenditure data
collected in this regular survey is widely used by both federal, state,
and non-governmental organizations for research and analysis regarding
the economic importance and contributions of marine recreational
fishing to each coastal state and nationwide. The program office would
like to make minor changes to a few of the questions on the survey.
These changes will not affect the integrity or overall purpose of said
survey. The NMFS Office of Science and Technology conducts the survey
and publishes the results in both technical reports and the annual
`Fisheries Economics of the U.S.' report series.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act as reauthorized in 2007 (16 U.S.C. 1801 et. seq.).
