# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Department of Commerce has submitted 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*:  North Carolina and Louisiana Commercial King and/or Spanish Mackerel Fishermen Pilot Economic Study.                

*Form Number(s)*: None.                 

*OMB Approval Number*: None.                

*Type of Request*: Regular submission.                

*Burden Hours*: 154.                

*Number of Respondents*: 140.                

*Average Hours Per Response*: 12 minutes per screening form, 5 minutes for a captain form when completed by an owner, 20 minutes for an owner form, 15 minutes for a captain form when the captain is not an owner, and 15 minutes for a trip questionnaire.                 

*Needs and Uses*:  The North Carolina and Louisiana Commercial King and/or Spanish Mackerel Fishermen Pilot Economic Survey will consist of telephone screening followed by in-person interviews of commercial fishermen in North Carolina and Louisiana possessing Federal commercial mackerel fishing permits.  The survey will provide NMFS with economic information to better estimate the effects of regulations proposed for the king and Spanish mackerel commercial fisheries.  The survey will also provide a better basis for designing statistically-random surveys for other strata of the population of boats that engage in these and other fisheries throughout the southeast (coastal states of North Carolina to Texas).  Monitoring of these fisheries is required under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.                

*Affected Public*: Business or other for-profit organizations.
