Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 213 / Thursday, November 4, 2010 / Notices copies of the information collection instrument(s) and instructions should be directed to Rob Andrews, (301) 713– 2328 or Rob.Andrews@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This submission is a renewal of an existing information collection. 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 conservation and management of fishery resources. Marine recreational fishing catch and effort data are currently collected through a combination of telephone surveys and on-site intercept surveys with recreational anglers and for-hire vessel operators. Recent amendments to the MSA require the development of an improved data collection program for recreational fisheries. To address these requirements, NOAA Fisheries has implemented the Marine Recreational Information Program (MRIP) to replace the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey. MRIP is testing alternative approaches for surveying recreational anglers in an effort to improve the quality, resolution and timeliness of recreational fishing statistics. jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES II.
