reporting these violations. The results of 

the survey will provide the Office of 

Law Enforcement a better understanding 

of how often observers are victimized, 

which will enable them to reallocate 

resources as needed, conduct more 

training for observers to ensure they 

know how to report, conduct training to 

ensure people understand what 

constitutes a victim crime, and to 

increase awareness of potential 

victimizations. Additionally, the survey 

results will help law enforcement 

understand the barriers to disclosure, so 

enforcement may begin to address these 

impediments so they no longer prevent 

observers from disclosure. 

II. Method of Collection 

Data will be collected on a voluntary 

basis, via an electronic survey to ensure 

anonymity. The survey will be offered 

to all observers who deployed in 2016 

and 2017 in the North Pacific Observer 

Program. Individual data will not be 

released for public use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for a new information 

collection. 

The objective of the short survey will 

be to understand how anglers respond 

to changes in trip costs and fishing 

regulations in the Gulf of Mexico. We 

are conducting this survey to improve 

our ability to predict changes the 

number of fishing trips anticipated with 

changes in economic conditions or 

fishing regulations. This will improve 

the analysis of the economic effects of 

proposed changes in fishing regulations 

and changes in economic factors that 

affect the cost of fishing such as fuel 

prices. 

The population consists of those 

anglers who fish in the Gulf of Mexico 

from Florida, including those who 

possess a license to fish, and those who 

are not required to have a license (e.g., 

seniors). We plan to independently 

sample from the frame designed for the 

Fishing Effort Survey (FES) of the 

Marine Recreational Fishing Program 

(MRIP). Anglers will be mailed a 

postcard that directs them to a Web site 

to complete the survey. 

II. Method of Collection 

The survey will be conducted using 

two modes: Mail and Internet.
