SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for renewal of an approved information
collection. NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center,
annually collects economic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf
and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who hold one or more permits for
harvesting shrimp from federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone). A
collection of economic information from fishers affected by the
management of federal commercial fisheries is needed to ensure that
national goals, objectives, and requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) and other laws are met.
These data are needed to conduct economic analyses in support of
management of the shrimp fishery and to satisfy legal requirements.
Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital
investment and other economic information is collected from a random
sample of permit holders. The data will be used to assess how fishermen
will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely to be
considered by fishery managers. No changes are requested with this
renewal request.
II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected on paper using a mail survey.
