Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Generic Clearance for Economic Surveys of the Commercial and
Charter Harvesting Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries: Mariana
Archipelago Small Boat Fishery Economic Data Collection
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 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: Generic Clearance for Economic Surveys of the Commercial and
Charter Harvesting Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries: Mariana
Archipelago Small Boat Fishery Economic Data Collection.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0823.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [review of a specific survey
under an approved generic information collection].
Number of Respondents: 72.
Average Hours per Response: 45 minutes.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 54 hours.
Needs and Uses: The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration's
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) has
conservation and management responsibilities for many living marine
resources and their habitat. NMFS collects and uses economic data to
make more than a cursory determination of whether a variety of
provisions in the applicable laws, Executive Orders (E.O.s), and NOAA
or NMFS strategies and policies have been met by past fishery
[[Page 100471]]
conservation and management actions or will be met by proposed actions.
OMB approved the Generic Clearance for Economic Surveys of the
Commercial & Charter Harvesting Sectors of Federally Managed Fisheries.
It did that in recognition that by providing relevant economic data,
the fishery specific information collections, which NMFS will conduct
under that generic clearance, will increase the ability of NMFS and the
Regional Fishery Management Councils to monitor, explain and predict
changes in the economic performance and impacts of federally managed
fisheries. Therefore, those information collections will allow better-
informed fishery conservation and management decisions, which will
benefit the Nation. With OMB's approval of the Mariana Archipelago
Small Boat Fishery Economic Data Collection, NMFS will collect such
economic date for that specific fishery.
Affected Public: Individuals or households and Business or other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Once.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (MSA).
