SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a revision of a
current information collection.
The objective of these surveys is to
assess the level of awareness on issues
related to regulations preventing
feeding/harassment of wild bottlenose
dolphins, which are protected under the
Marine Mammal Protection Act. In
particular, the surveys are designed to
determine what commercial businesses
and the general public know about
specific regulations prohibiting feeding
and harassment of bottlenose dolphins,
and how they gained their knowledge
and/or perceptions on the topic. The
first survey was conducted in Panama
City, Florida, where numerous
incidences of dolphin harassment and
feeding are continually documented.
Revision: The intent is to use this
survey in one to two other geographic
areas of the southeast region that are
also ‘‘hot-spots’’ for dolphin harassment
and feeding activities to gain a similar
understanding and ensure outreach
messages are appropriate for intended
audiences.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) will request information from
local residents, tourists, and commercial
businesses through a one-time survey in
the geographic location identified in the
revision supporting statement. This
information, upon receipt, will be used
to develop effective and better-targeted
outreach efforts in order to enhance
bottlenose dolphin conservation in the
southeast United States.
II. Method of Collection
Participants voluntarily complete
paper questionnaires and methods of
submittal include on-site, mail, and
facsimile transmission of paper forms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council (Council) to prepare and amend
fishery management plans for any
fishery in waters under its jurisdiction.
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) manages the shrimp fishery in
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf)
under the Shrimp Fishery Management
Plan (FMP). The electronic logbook
(ELB) regulations for the Gulf shrimp
fishery may be found at 50 CFR
§ 622.5(a)(iii).
There are currently approximately
1,563 permitted vessels that harvest
shrimp from the Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ), and the Council estimates
that there are over 13,000 boats that fish
in state waters. With such a large
number of vessels of differing sizes,
gears used, and fishing capabilities
compounded by seasonal variability in
abundance and price and the broad
geographic distribution of the fleet,
ELBs provide a more precise means of
estimating the amount of fishing effort
than current methods. Using ELBs to
improve estimating fishing effort will
help improve estimating bycatch in the
Gulf shrimp fleet.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 60.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0 in recordkeeping/reporting
costs.
