SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. United States (U.S.) 

commercial fishermen may file claims 

for compensation for losses of, or 

damage to, fishing gear or vessels, plus 

50 percent of resulting economic losses, 

attributable to oil and gas activities on 

the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. To 

obtain compensation, applicants must 

comply with requirements set forth in 

50 CFR part 296. 

The requirements include a ‘‘report’’ 

within 15 days of the date the vessel 

first returns to port after the casualty 

incident to gain a presumption of 

eligible causation, and an ‘‘application’’ 

within 90 days of when the applicant 

first became aware of the loss and/or 

damage. 

The report is NOAA Form 88–166 and 

it requests identifying information such 

as: Respondent’s name; address; social 

security number; and casualty location. 

The information in the report is usually 

completed by NOAA during a telephone 

call with the respondent. 

The application is NOAA Form 88– 

164 and it requires the respondent to 

provide information on the property and 

economic losses and/or damages 

including type of damage; purchase date 

and price of lost/damaged gear; and 

income from recent fishing trips. It also 

includes an affidavit by which the 

applicant attests to the truthfulness of 

the claim. 

II. Method of Collection 

Respondents may telephone NOAA 

and provide the information for the 

report verbally or submit a paper or 

electronic report. Respondents have a 

choice of either electronic or paper 

forms for the application. 

III. Data

IV. Request for Comments

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

burden of the collection of information

or other forms of information 

technology. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and/or 

included in the request for OMB
