44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended. An
ICR is an application to OIRA seeking
the approval, extension, or renewal of a
Coast Guard collection of information
(Collection). The ICR contains
information describing the Collection’s
purpose, the Collection’s likely burden
on the affected public, an explanation of
the necessity of the Collection, and
other important information describing
the Collection. There is one ICR for each
Collection.
The Coast Guard invites comments on
whether this ICR should be granted
based on the Collections being
necessary for the proper performance of
Departmental functions. In particular,
the Coast Guard would appreciate
comments addressing: (1) The practical
utility of the Collection; (2) the accuracy
of the estimated burden of the
Collection; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of
information subject to the Collection;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of
the Collection on respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. These
comments will help OIRA determine

Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day
comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day
notice (77 FR 6571, February 8, 2012)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That
Notice elicited one comment response.
The commenter noted the importance of
this information elicitation, and
recommended executing similar survey
efforts on a recurring basis. More
specifically, the commenter
recommended that:
1. The survey instructions be clarified
and remind respondents about the
potential to receive a raffle prize. The
Coast Guard revised the introductory
paragraph in response to this
recommendation.
2. The survey include a question
asking for the proportion or percentage
of time spent in each fishery. The Coast
Guard did not act on this
recommendation because this
information could not be used in the
scope of the survey design.
3. The survey include an additional
question asking the most recent date of
active fishing. The Coast Guard has
added a question the survey to
determine the activity level of the
respondent in their primary fishery in
response to this recommendation.
4. The survey include questions
asking respondents directly about their
activity in the fishery instead of asking
about trends the fisherman has observed
in other fishermen. The Coast Guard did
not act on this recommendation because
this survey approach was chosen
deliberately to reduce social-desirability
bias in responses.
5. The survey include indications of
whether different forms of Coast Guard
enforcement has been encountered by

34398
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 112 / Monday, June 11, 2012 / Notices
srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
the respondent. Since the Coast Guard
has not adjusted the survey to the
comment outlined in #4, this
recommendation does not apply as
respondents are not specifically asked
about their own experiences with Coast
Guard enforcement.
6. The survey clarify what animals are
managed under the Marine Mammal
Protection Act. The Coast Guard chose
to not change this question because (1)
an exhaustive list of all marine
mammals fishermen are likely to
encounter would be prohibitively long,
and not listing marine mammals could
prevent respondents from answering the
question correctly and (2) the majority
of fishermen already understand what
species are covered under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act..
7. The Coast Guard modify the
responses to the question ‘‘If a National
Marine Sanctuary exists in the area
where you fish, how doe its existence
impact the abundance of the fishery’s
target species?’’ The Coast Guard has
modified this question in response to
this recommendation.
8. The Coast Guard provide a single
direct link to the survey that does not
require respondents to go through the
Federal Register. This was the original
intent of the Coast Guard, the PRA
package has been modified to correctly
reflect this.
9. The Coast Guard include an option
for paper surveys to be delivered by mail
to those who request one. Providing a
paper survey option is cost prohibitive.
The Coast Guard shares the
respondent’s desire to maximize the
population for which this survey is
accessible, and therefore will consider
alternate options such as providing
internet access during public events to
complete the survey.
10. The survey period be extended to
better accommodate fishermen whose
peak fishing coincides with the survey
time. The Coast Guard agrees with this
comment and will keep the survey open
for an adequate period of time to
facilitate survey responses from all
fisheries participants.

Previous Request for Comments
This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (77 FR 6571, February 8, 2012)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited one comment
response. The commenter noted the importance of this information
elicitation, and recommended executing similar survey efforts on a
recurring basis. More specifically, the commenter recommended that:
1. The survey instructions be clarified and remind respondents
about the potential to receive a raffle prize. The Coast Guard revised
the introductory paragraph in response to this recommendation.
2. The survey include a question asking for the proportion or
percentage of time spent in each fishery. The Coast Guard did not act
on this recommendation because this information could not be used in
the scope of the survey design.
3. The survey include an additional question asking the most recent
date of active fishing. The Coast Guard has added a question the survey
to determine the activity level of the respondent in their primary
fishery in response to this recommendation.
4. The survey include questions asking respondents directly about
their activity in the fishery instead of asking about trends the
fisherman has observed in other fishermen. The Coast Guard did not act
on this recommendation because this survey approach was chosen
deliberately to reduce social-desirability bias in responses.
5. The survey include indications of whether different forms of
Coast Guard enforcement has been encountered by
[[Page 34398]]
the respondent. Since the Coast Guard has not adjusted the survey to
the comment outlined in 4, this recommendation does not apply
as respondents are not specifically asked about their own experiences
with Coast Guard enforcement.
6. The survey clarify what animals are managed under the Marine
Mammal Protection Act. The Coast Guard chose to not change this
question because (1) an exhaustive list of all marine mammals fishermen
are likely to encounter would be prohibitively long, and not listing
marine mammals could prevent respondents from answering the question
correctly and (2) the majority of fishermen already understand what
species are covered under the Marine Mammal Protection Act..
7. The Coast Guard modify the responses to the question ``If a
National Marine Sanctuary exists in the area where you fish, how doe
its existence impact the abundance of the fishery's target species?''
The Coast Guard has modified this question in response to this
recommendation.
8. The Coast Guard provide a single direct link to the survey that
does not require respondents to go through the Federal Register. This
was the original intent of the Coast Guard, the PRA package has been
modified to correctly reflect this.
9. The Coast Guard include an option for paper surveys to be
delivered by mail to those who request one. Providing a paper survey
option is cost prohibitive. The Coast Guard shares the respondent's
desire to maximize the population for which this survey is accessible,
and therefore will consider alternate options such as providing
internet access during public events to complete the survey.
10. The survey period be extended to better accommodate fishermen
whose peak fishing coincides with the survey time. The Coast Guard
agrees with this comment and will keep the survey open for an adequate
period of time to facilitate survey responses from all fisheries
participants.
