SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) proposes to collect socioeconomic data on small-scale fishing 

fleets operating in the U.S. Caribbean 

(e.g., hook and line and net fisheries). 

The survey intends to collect economic 

information about revenues, variable 

and fixed costs, capital investment and 

other auxiliary and demographic 

information. The data gathered will be 

used to describe economic performance 

in small-scale fisheries and to 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, and to 

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. 

III. Data 

OMB Number: None. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

Public: $0. 

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 collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or

record.
