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

Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: Evaluation of SE Catch Shares Programs.

Needs and Uses: This is a request for a new information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to conduct a
survey of catch share participants in the southeast region. This
evaluation is required by Congress every 5 to 7 years, as stipulated in
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and
its subsequent reauthorizations. The proposed socio-economic study will
examine the performance of these programs. The survey will collect
information on demographics, factors influencing market transparency
and efficiency, changes in fishing and marketing practices following
the adoption of catch share programs, and miscellaneous attitudinal
questions. The data gathered will be used for required, periodic
evaluations of these programs and the development of amendments to
fishery management plans, which require descriptions of the human and
economic environment and socioeconomic analyses of regulatory
proposals. Additionally, the information collected will be used to
strengthen fishery management decision-making and satisfy various legal
mandates under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.; MSA), Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Flexibility Act, Endangered Species Act (ESA), and National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and other pertinent statues.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Once.
