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: Marine Recreational Information 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0052. 

Form Number(s): NA. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

(revision of a current information 

collection). 

Number of Respondents: 464,868. 

Average Hours Per Response: 10 

minutes per survey. 

Burden Hours: 63,687. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for 

revision of a current information 

collection. 

Marine recreational anglers are 

surveyed to collect catch and effort data, 

fish biology data, and angler 

socioeconomic characteristics. These 

data are required to carry out provisions 

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act (16 

U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended, 

regarding conservation and management 

of fishery resources. 

Marine recreational fishing catch and 

effort data are collected through a 

combination of mail surveys, telephone 

surveys and on-site intercept surveys 

with recreational anglers. Amendments 

to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA) require the development of an 

improved data collection program for 

recreational fisheries. To meet these 

requirements, NOAA Fisheries has 

designed and tested new approaches for 

sampling and surveying recreational 

anglers. Revision: A mail survey that 

samples from a residential address 

frame will be implemented to collect 

data on the number of marine 

recreational anglers and the number of 

recreational fishing trips. This survey 

will replace the Coastal Household 

Telephone Survey, which has 

traditionally been used to collect 

recreational fishing effort data. In 

addition, the sampling and estimation 

procedures for the access-point angler 

intercept survey have been revised to 

ensure better coverage and 

representation of recreational fishing 

activity. 

This revision also eliminates several 

data collections that were implemented 

to test revised sampling procedures. The 

following data collections will be 

eliminated: Longitudinal Sampling for 

Coastal Household Telephone Survey, a 

Directory Frame Telephone Survey of 

Licensed Marine Recreational Anglers, 

the Angler Diary Recruitment Screening 

Questionnaire, Vessel Directory 

Maintenance and Biological Data 

Collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Annually, on occasion, 

every three years. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

OMB Desk Officer: 

OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov. 

Copies of the above information 

collection proposal can be obtained by

information collection should be sent
