It accomplishes these objectives by conducting research, education, and outreach programs. Grant monies are available for funding activities that help obtain the objectives of the Sea Grant Program. Both single and multi-project grants are awarded, with the latter representing about 80 percent of the total grant program. In addition to other standard grant application requirements, three forms are required with the grants. These are the Sea Grant Control Form 90–2, used to identify the organizations and personnel who would be involved in the grant and briefly summarize the proposed activities under the grant; the Project Record Form 90–1, which collects summary data on projects; and the Sea Grant Budget Form 90–4, which provides information similar to, but more detailed than on, forms SF–424A or SF–424C. The National Sea Grant College Program Act (33 U.S.C. 1126) provides for the designation of a public or private institution of higher education, institute, laboratory, or State or local agency as a Sea Grant college or Sea Grant institute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new information collection.
    Marine recreational anglers are surveyed to collect catch and 
effort data, fish biology data, and angler socioeconomic 
characteristics. These data are required to carry out provisions of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding conservation and management of 
fishery resources.
    The For-Hire Survey (FHS) will collect recreational fishing catch 
and effort data through a telephone, Web-based data collection, and log 
sheet methods. Amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act require the development of an improved data 
collection program for recreational fisheries. To meet these 
requirements, NOAA Fisheries has designed a telephone questionnaire in 
the Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) system for surveying 
and collecting catch and effort data from recreational anglers. The FHS 
will sample a week's activity from 10% of vessels that are permitted 
for-hire or charter vessel trips. Each interview will collect the 
number of recreational fishing trips, and log sheets submitted by the 
permit holders will show corresponding effort data (e.g. time at sea, 
amounts of catch from each fishery), within the sample selected week.

II. Method of Collection

    Information will be collected through telephone interviews using a 
CATI System. In lieu of telephone interviews, respondents may also 
provide information via a Web-based application.
