their affiliations and recreational
activities.
The revealed preference/contingent
behavior survey component will be
administered only to respondents who
indicate that they participate in waterbased recreational activities that are
potentially affected by changes in fish
populations. This component will ask
respondents about their recent
recreational activities, and ask how
many additional trips (if any) they
would take to their most recently visited
recreation site each year if fish
populations and catch rates (for anglers)
increased by a specified amount. It will
also ask respondents whether they
would choose to visit the site of their
last recreational trip or a similar site
with higher fish populations and catch
rates that is further from their home.
Survey subjects will be randomly
selected from a representative national
panel of respondents maintained by
Knowledge Networks, an online survey
company. Subjects will be asked to
complete a web-based questionnaire.
Participation in the survey is voluntary.
EPA intends to administer the survey to
a total of 4,400 persons, including 500
persons that will take part in an initial
survey pilot. EPA chose a web-based
survey format because it is the most
cost-effective method available to
conduct a large statistically-based
survey covering a wide geographic
region in a relatively short time frame.
To avoid potential sampling biases
associated with the web-based survey
methodology, the survey sample will be
stratified by geographical region, and
within each region, by demographic
variables including age, education,
Hispanic ethnicity, race, gender, and
household income.
To assist in the development of this
stated preference survey, EPA has
requested approval from the Office of
Management and Budget to conduct a
series of twelve focus groups with a
total of 96 respondents (see EPA ICR
number 2155.01). These focus groups
will be conducted following standard,
accepted practices in the stated
preference literature. The focus groups
will allow EPA to better understand the
public’s perceptions and attitudes
concerning fishery resources, to frame
and define survey questions, to pretest
draft survey questions, to test for and
eliminate or reduce potential biases that
may be associated with stated
preference methodology, and to ensure
that both researchers and respondents
have similar interpretations of survey
language and scenarios.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Burden Statement: EPA estimates that
the total public reporting and record
keeping burden for the 4,400
individuals/households who respond to
the survey will be 3,227 hours, for an
average of 44 minutes per respondent.
The estimated total cost burden to
respondents is $57,144. EPA estimates
that there will be no capital and
operating and maintenance cost burden.
This survey is one-time activity.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
