requirements allow better-informed 

conservation and management decisions 

on the use of living marine resources 

and marine habitat in federally managed 

fisheries. Obtaining these data improves 

the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the 

Regional Fishery Management Councils 

(Councils) to monitor, explain and 

predict changes in the economic 

performance and impacts of federally 

managed commercial fisheries. 

Measures of economic performance 

include costs, earnings, and profitability 

(net revenue); productivity and 

economic efficiency; capacity; economic 

stability; the level and distribution of 

net economic benefits to society; and 

market power. The economic impacts 

include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment, 

sales, value-added, and income impacts. 

Economic data are required to support 

more than a cursory effort to comply 

with or support the following laws, 

E.O.s, and NOAA strategies and 

policies: 

1. Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA) 

2. Marine Mammal Protection Act 

(MMPA) 

3. Endangered Species Act (ESA) 

4. National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 

5. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

6. E.O. 12866 (Regulatory Planning and 

Review) 

7. The NOAA Fisheries Guidelines for 

Economic Reviews of Regulatory 

Actions 

8. NOAA FY22–26 Strategic Plan, 

Building a Climate Ready Nation 

9. The NOAA Fisheries Strategic Plan 

2022–2025 (Strategic Plan) 

10. The NOAA Fisheries EcosystemBased Fishery Management (EBFM) 

Road Map 

11. The NOAA Fisheries National 

Bycatch Reduction Strategy 

12. NOAA’s Catch Share Policy 

Data collections will focus each year 

on a different set of the 16 commercial 

fisheries or groups of fisheries. This 

cycle of data collection will facilitate 

economic data being available and 

updated for all those commercial 

fisheries. 

There will be an effort to coordinate 

the data collections in order to reduce 

the additional burden for those who 

participate in multiple fisheries. To 

further reduce the burden, the requested 

information for a specific fishery will be 

limited to that which is not available 

from other sources. Participation in 

these data collections will be voluntary. 

II. Method of Collection 

The information will be collected by 

mail, internet, phone, and in-person 

interviews. In general, respondents will 

receive a mailed copy of the survey 

instrument in advance of a phone or inperson interview. Where feasible, 

survey respondents will have the option 

to respond to an on-line survey. If 

phone and in-person interviews are not 

feasible or not desired by the potential 

respondents, the information will be 

collected by mail or internet.

development of amendments to fishery 

management plans, which require 

descriptions of the human and 

economic environment and socioeconomic analyses of regulatory 

proposals. The information collected 

will also be used to strengthen fishery 

management decision-making and 

satisfy various legal mandates under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act
