DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for clearance the 

following proposal for collection of 

information under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35). 

Agency: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). 

Title: Survey of Shore-based NonCommercial Fishing on St. Croix, U.S. 

Virgin Islands. 

OMB Control Number: None. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(request for a new information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 915. 

Average Hours Per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Burden Hours: 153. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

new information collection to benefit 

local fishery managers in the U.S. Virgin 

Islands (USVI). Non-commercial fishing 

is an important activity on St. Croix, 

USVI, yet robust data characterizing the 

catch, effort and cultural attributes of 

such fishing are limited. Without these 

basic data on the non-commercial 

fishery on St. Croix, it is not possible to 

develop required fishery management 

plans. Consequently, local fishery 

managers have asked for collection of 

information required to make 

management decisions, information that 

will help them to balance the need for 

more effective fishery management with 

social, economic and cultural 

imperatives of the region. 

Researchers propose to conduct two 

distinct data collection efforts, a survey 

of non-commercial, shore-based fishers. 

This survey will ascertain the catch, 

effort, and socioeconomic 

characteristics of fishers using this 

mode of fishing on St. Croix. A survey 

of boat-based, non-commercial fishers 

on St. Croix to document levels of catch 

and effort will be submitted separately. 

The data gathered will be used to 

describe recreational and subsistence 

sectors in St. Croix, and evaluate the 

socio-economic impacts of federal 

regulatory actions. In addition, the 

information will be used to strengthen
