SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS), Southwest Region (SWR), 

manages the United States (U.S.)- 

Canada Albacore Tuna Treaty of 1981 

(Treaty). Owners of vessels that fish 

from U.S. West Coast ports for albacore 

tuna will be required to notify NMFS 

SWR of their desire to be on the list of 

vessels provided to Canada each year 

indicating vessels eligible to fish for 

albacore tuna in waters under the 

jurisdiction of Canada. Additionally, 

vessel operators are required to report in 

advance their intention to fish in 

Canadian waters prior to crossing the 

maritime border as well as to mark their 

fishing vessels to facilitate enforcement 

of the effort limits under the Treaty. 

Vessel operators are also required to 

maintain and submit a logbook of all 

catch and fishing effort. The regulations 

implementing the reporting and vessel 

marking requirements under the Treaty 

are at 50 CFR part 300.172–300.176. 

II. Method of Collection 

Requests to be placed on the vessel 

eligibility list may be made in writing 

via mail, fax, by e-mail, or by telephone. 

Communications to comply with ‘hail 

in’ and ‘hail out’ requirements are made 

via ship to shore radio or via telephone 

and are compiled in an electronic 

database by Canada Department of 

Fisheries and Oceans. Summaries of 

hail reports are provided to NMFS on a 

periodic basis. Vessel marking 

requirements entail painting the letter 

‘U’ immediately after the U.S. Coast 

Guard documentation identification 

number already on the vessel. Logbooks 

are maintained in pre-printed paper 

format and submitted via mail. 

III. Data 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0492. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Regular submission. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

100. 

Estimated Time per Response: 5 

minutes to make the request to be 

placed on the eligible list per year; 10 

minutes for each set of two hail reports 

for border crossings per year, 5 minutes 

to make the required vessel markings 

per year, and an estimated 2 and one 

half hours for logbook maintenance and 

submission. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 283. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost to 

Public: $3,955. 

IV. Request for Comments 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

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 

included in the request for OMB 

approval of this information collection; 

they also will become a matter of public 

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This submission is a renewal of an 

existing information collection. 

Marine recreational anglers are 

surveyed for catch and effort data, fish 

biology data, and angler socioeconomic 

characteristics. These data are required 

to carry out provisions of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and 

Management Act (MSA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 

et seq.), as amended, regarding 

conservation and management of fishery 

resources. 

Marine recreational fishing catch and 

effort data are currently collected 

through a combination of telephone 

surveys and on-site intercept surveys 

with recreational anglers and for-hire 

vessel operators. Recent amendments to 

the MSA require the development of an 

improved data collection program for 

recreational fisheries. To address these 

requirements, NOAA Fisheries has 

implemented the Marine Recreational 

Information Program (MRIP) to replace 

the Marine Recreational Fisheries 

Statistics Survey. MRIP is testing 

alternative approaches for surveying 

recreational anglers in an effort to 

improve the quality, resolution and 

timeliness of recreational fishing 

statistics. 

II. Method of Collection 

Information will be collected through 

telephone, mail, online (Web), and faceto-face interviews. 

III. Data

households, business or other for-profit 

organizations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,098,647. 

Estimated Time per Response: 

1.5 minutes for household telephone 

interviews, 6 minutes for telephone 

interviews with licensed anglers, 

5 minutes for telephone interviews with 

party/charter boat operators, 

6 minutes for face-to-face interviews 

with intercepted anglers, 4 minutes for 

household mail surveys, 7 minutes for 

mail surveys of licensed anglers, 

60 minutes for face-to-face economic 

surveys with party/charter boat 

operators, 30 minutes for economic mail 

surveys of party/charter boat operators, 

3 minutes for economic mail surveys of 

licensed anglers, 20 minutes for mail 

expenditure surveys, 20 minutes for
