Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Marine Recreational Information Program.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0052.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (revision of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 783,405 (37,060 net increase).
    Average Hours per Response: Screener questionnaires, 5 minutes; 
angler questionnaires, 6 minutes for telephone survey, 10 minutes for 
mail survey.
    Burden Hours: 53,494 hours (3,854 hours net increase).
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a revision of a current 
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 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (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. Recent amendments to the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) require 
the development of an improved data collection program for recreational 
fisheries. To meet the requirements of MSA, NOAA Fisheries is 
developing pilot studies to test alternative approaches for surveying 
recreational anglers. Studies will test the effectiveness of 
alternative sample frames and data collection methods for contacting 
anglers and collecting recreational fishing data. The goal of these 
studies is to develop more efficient and accurate methods for 
estimating marine recreational fishing catch and effort.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov.
