I. Abstract
This request is for an extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
That National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
annually collects socioeconomic data
from commercial fishermen in the Gulf
of Mexico and South Atlantic shrimp
fisheries who hold one or more permits
for shrimp fishing in federal waters
(United States (U.S.) Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ)). Information
about revenues, variable and fixed costs,
capital investment and other
socioeconomic information is collected
from a random sample of permit

data already collected and is needed to
conduct socioeconomic analyses in
support of management of the shrimp
fishery and to satisfy legal requirements.
The data will be used to assess how
fishermen will be impacted by and
respond to federal regulation likely to be
considered by fishery managers.
