Instrument: Micro Test Pendulum with
Hot-Stage Extension & Spherical
Indenters. Manufacturer: Micro
Materials Ltd., United Kingdom.
Intended Use: The instrument is
intended to be used to investigate the
micro-mechanical properties of metallic
and inter-metallic material systems for
structural applications. (2–3,5) Elevated
temperature (>700 °C) microindentation tests will be performed on
a range of experimental alloys and
compounds to assist in an alloy
development program. The System will
be used to train graduate students and
post-doctoral researchers as part of a
research program on understanding the
fundamental deformation mechanisms
of high temperature structural materials.
The micro test pendulum with hotstage extension and spherical indenters
is capable of testing materials at
temperatures in excess of 700 °C or at
a load capacity of 10kN. Both of these
features are critical in the assessment of
mechanical properties of high strength
materials at elevated temperature. Also,

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to

proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before November 13,
2007.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Diana Hynek, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6625,
14th and Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20230 (or via the
Internet at dHynek@doc.gov).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
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
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
conservation and management of fishery
resources.
Marine recreational fishing catch and
effort data are collected through a
combination of telephone surveys and
on-site intercept surveys with
recreational anglers. The current
telephone surveys rely on random
contacts with residents of coastal county
households (Random Digit Dialing, or
RDD). This method is extremely
inefficient as a relatively small
percentage of contacted households
reports fishing during any survey
period.
The recent amendments to the MSA
require that future surveys of fishing
effort target anglers registered or
licensed at the State or Federal level.
Such licensed-based surveys will greatly
increase the efficiency of data collection
as a much larger percentage of contacted
individuals are likely to report fishing
activity. However, most current
saltwater licensing programs exempt
large sections of the population from
licensing requirements (age, military
and disability exemptions). To
compensate for gaps in survey coverage
created by these exemptions, a dualframe methodology has been developed
that integrates licensed-based sampling
with RDD sampling. The resulting
survey provides an efficient means of
collecting fishing effort data while
maintaining nearly complete coverage of
the angling population.
II. Method of Collection
Information is collected by means of
telephone interviews.
III. Data
OMB Number: 0648–0052.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit
organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
723,325.
Estimated Time Per Response: 8
minutes for fishing households; 1
minute for non-fishing households.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 44,677.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
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
proposed collection of information; (c)
