SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection. The Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA) requires anglers who (1)
engage in angling or spearfishing for fish
in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ);
anadromous species in any tidal waters;
or continental Shelf fishery resources
beyond the EEZ, (2) operate a for-hire
fishing vessel in the EEZ, (3) operate a
for-hire fishing vessel that engages in

angling or spearfishing for: anadromous
species in any tidal waters; or
continental shelf fishery resources
beyond the EEZ, (4) possess equipment
used for angling or spearfishing and also
possesses: Fish in the EEZ; anadromous
species in any tidal waters; or
continental shelf fishery resources
beyond the EEZ to register annually
with the National Angler Register.
Those in states which have received
exempted status per regulations at 600
CFR 1415–17 need not register with
NMFS. Under 600 CFR 1417, MSA
allows NMFS to exempt a State that has
developed a qualifying regional survey
that meets the Marine Recreational
Information Program’s National Data
Standards.
The State of Hawaii is developing a
comprehensive data collection program
that will meet the requirements set forth
at 600CFR 1417 and exempt the State’s
anglers from the national registry
requirement. The information gathered
from the proposed voluntary survey of
a sample of the State’s registered boaters
will be used to develop an ongoing
(monitoring) survey of fishing catch and
effort derived from Hawaii’s private
boaters—a required component of any
qualifying regional survey. The survey
instrument will also collect information
to inform engagement of and projects
aimed at local boat-based anglers under
NOAA’s National Recreational Saltwater
Fishing Initiative.
II. Method of Collection
The survey instrument will be mailed
to respondents using the address they
provided to the State’s Division of
Boating and Ocean Recreation. The
survey packet will include a
personalized cover letter and a postagepaid, pre-addressed return envelope.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: None.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(new information collection).
