Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit 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: Central Valley Angler Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–xxxx. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular (request for 

a new information collection). 

Number of Respondents: 11,447. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Telephone screener, 5 minutes; mail 

survey, 25 minutes. 

Burden Hours: 1,579. 

Needs and Uses: This request is for a 

new information collection. 

The National Marine Fisheries Service 

(NMFS) plans to collect data to increase 

the agency’s understanding of the 

fishing patterns, preferences, and 

expenditures of anglers who fish in the 

rivers of California’s Central Valley. 

NMFS has engaged in major habitat 

restoration in the Central Valley to 

promote recovery of three ESA-listed 

salmonids (Sacramento River winter 

Chinook, Central Valley spring Chinook, 

Central Valley steelhead). The survey is 

intended to estimate the economic 

impact of the Central Valley recreational 

fishery and potential recreational 

benefits associated with habitat 

restoration such as improved fish 

passage. Information to be collected 

pertains to anglers’ recreational fishing 

patterns, expenditures and 

demographics, and factors affecting trip 

frequency and location (e.g., travel 

distance, amenities, landscape features 

as well as quality of fishing). The data 

collected will provide NMFS, as well as 

state agency partners such as the 

California Department of Fish and 

Wildlife, with information useful for
