SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Recreational catch reporting provides
important data used to monitor catches
of Atlantic highly migratory species
(HMS) and supplements other existing
data collection programs. The data
collected through this program are
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703

currently used for both domestic and
international fisheries management and
stock assessment purposes.
Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) catch
reporting provides real-time catch
information used to monitor the
recreational BFT fishery. Under the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975
(ATCA, 16 U.S.C. 971), the United
States is required to implement
recommendations of the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), as necessary
and appropriate, including a specified
BFT quota. This program supports BFT
quota monitoring and scientific research
authorized under ATCA and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSFMCA, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.).
Recreational anglers are required to
report specific information regarding
their catch after they land a BFT.
Atlantic billfish and swordfish are
managed internationally by ICCAT and
nationally under ATCA and the
MSFMCA. This collection provides
information needed to monitor the
recreational limit established by ICCAT
for Atlantic blue and white marlin, and
the recreational catch of North Atlantic
swordfish, which is applied to the
ICCAT established U.S. quota. This
collection also provides information on
recreational landings of West Atlantic
sailfish which is unavailable from
established monitoring programs. The
collection of sailfish catch information
is authorized under MSFCMA for
purposes of stock management.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents reporting BFT landings
in all states (including the United States
Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth
of Puerto Rico) other than Maryland or
North Carolina may use either an
Internet Web site or an interactive voice
response (IVR) telephone system. The
respondents reporting Atlantic marlin,
West Atlantic sailfish, or North Atlantic
swordfish in all states (including the
United States Virgin Islands and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico) other
than MD or NC may use either an
Internet Web site or a toll-free telephone
number. In MD and NC, a paper
reporting system is used for all of the
aforementioned species. Respondents in
MD and NC must submit a landing card
at a state reporting station. The states
that participate in a landing card
program must submit weekly reports
and one annual report to NOAA to
summarize landings and results to date.

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)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) proposes to collect
demographic, cultural, economic and
social information about Gulf of Mexico
fisheries managed under the limited
access privilege program (LAPP). The
survey also intends to inquire about the
industry’s perceptions, attitudes and
beliefs about the performance of the
LAPP. The data gathered will be used to
describe the social and economic
changes brought about by the LAPP,
assess the economic performance of the
industry under the LAPP, and evaluate
the socio-economic impacts of future
federal regulatory actions. In addition,
the information will be used to
strengthen and improve fishery
management decision-making, satisfy
legal mandates under Executive Order
12866, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species
Act, and the National Environmental
Policy Act, and other pertinent statues.
II. Method of Collection
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
The socio-economic information
sought will be collected via in-person,
telephone and mail surveys.
