SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Abstract This request is for a new information collection. Marine recreational anglers are surveyed for catch and effort data, fish biology data, and angler socioeconomic characteristics. These data are required to carry out provisions of the Magnuson- VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:59 May 30, 2014 Jkt 232001 Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding conservation and management of fishery resources. The Coastal Household Telephone Survey (CHTS) utilizes a computerassisted, random-digit-dialing (RDD) approach to contact full-time, residential households located in coastal counties and collect information about recent recreational fishing activity. Respondents are asked to recall the number of recreational saltwater fishing trips taken during a specific time period and to provide details about each fishing trip. Data collected from the CHTS are used to estimate the total number of recreational saltwater fishing trips by residents of coastal counties. CHTS estimates are combined with estimates derived from an independent survey, the Access-Point Angler Intercept Survey (APAIS), to estimate total, state-level fishing effort and catch, by species. These estimates are used in the development, implementation, and monitoring of fishery management programs by the National Marine Fisheries Service, regional fishery management councils, interstate marine fisheries commissions, and state fishery agencies.
