SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a current information
collection.
The Large Pelagic Fishing Survey
consists of dockside and telephone
surveys of recreational anglers for large
pelagic fish (tunas, sharks, and billfish)
in the Atlantic Ocean. The survey
provides the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) with information to
monitor catch of bluefin tuna, marlin
and other federally managed species.
Catch monitoring in these fisheries and
collection of catch and effort statistics
for all pelagic fish is required under the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. The
information collected is essential for the
United States (U.S.) to meet its reporting
obligations to the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tuna.
This action seeks to revise the Large
Pelagic Fishing Survey OMB Control
No. 0648–0380 in the following ways:
• Drop the Large Pelagics Headboat
Survey (LPHS) component.
• Increase the annual Large Pelagics
Telephone Survey (LPTS) target sample
size from 10,780 to 15,900 interviews
for Northeast and Southeast combined.
• Add up to five questions to the
LPTS questionnaire.
• Add a non-response follow-up
survey to the LPTS in the Southeast
region (previously only the Northeast
was covered).
• Reduce the Large Pelagics
Biological Survey annual sample size
from 1,500 to 1,000 interviews.
