SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to 
collect economic information from golden-crab landing commercial 
fishermen in the United States (U.S.) South Atlantic region. The data 
gathered will be used to evaluate the likely economic impacts of 
management proposals. In addition, the information will be used to 
satisfy legal mandates under Executive Order 12898, the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the 
National Environmental Policy Act, and other pertinent statues.

II. Method of Collection

    A standardized survey will be administered via in-person, telephone 
and/or mail to all fishermen participating in the fishery.

    OMB Number: 0648-0631.
    Form Number: None.

approved information collection).

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the

technology.
