SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Recreational catch reporting provides 

important data used to monitor catches 

of Atlantic highly migratory species 

(HMS) and supplements other existing 

data collection programs. The data 

collected through this program are 

currently used for both domestic and 

international fisheries management and 

stock assessment purposes. 

Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch 

reporting provides real-time catch 

information used to monitor the 

recreational BFT fishery. Under the 

Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975 

(ATCA, 16 U.S.C. 971), the United 

States is required to implement 

recommendations of the International 

Commission for the Conservation of 

Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), as necessary 

and appropriate, including a specified 

BFT quota. This program supports BFT 

quota monitoring and scientific research 

authorized under ATCA and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSFMCA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). 

Recreational anglers are required to 

report specific information regarding 

their catch after they land a BFT. 

Atlantic billfish and swordfish are 

managed internationally by ICCAT and 

nationally under ATCA and the 

MSFMCA. This collection provides 

information needed to monitor the 

recreational limit established by ICCAT 

for Atlantic blue and white marlin, and 

the recreational catch of North Atlantic 

swordfish, which is applied to the 

ICCAT established U.S. quota. This 

collection also provides information on 

recreational landings of West Atlantic 

sailfish which is unavailable from 

established monitoring programs. The 

collection of sailfish catch information 

is authorized under MSFCMA for 

purposes of stock management. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents reporting BFT landings 

in all states (including the United States 

Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth 

of Puerto Rico) other than Maryland or 

North Carolina may use either an 

Internet Web site or an interactive voice 

response (IVR) telephone system. The 

respondents reporting Atlantic marlin, 

West Atlantic sailfish, or North Atlantic 

swordfish in all states (including the 

United States Virgin Islands and the 

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) other 

than MD or NC may use either an 

Internet Web site or a toll-free telephone 

number. In MD and NC, a paper 

reporting system is used for all of the 

aforementioned species. Respondents in 

MD and NC must submit a landing card 

at a state reporting station. The states 

that participate in a landing card 

program must submit weekly reports 

and one annual report to NOAA to 

summarize landings and results to date. 

III. Data

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) proposes to collect 

demographic, cultural, economic and 

social information about Gulf of Mexico 

fisheries managed under the limited 

access privilege program (LAPP). The 

survey also intends to inquire about the 

industry’s perceptions, attitudes and 

beliefs about the performance of the 

LAPP. The data gathered will be used to 

describe the social and economic 

changes brought about by the LAPP, 

assess the economic performance of the 

industry under the LAPP, and evaluate 

the socio-economic impacts of future 

federal regulatory actions. In addition, 

the information will be used to 

strengthen and improve fishery 

management decision-making, satisfy 

legal mandates under Executive Order 

12866, 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 

The socio-economic information 

sought will be collected via in-person, 

telephone and mail surveys.
