whether the applicant has demonstrated
that the proposed activity is humane
and does not represent any unnecessary
risks to the health and welfare of marine
mammals; that the proposed activity by
itself, or in combination with other
activities, will not likely have a
significant adverse impact on the
species or stock; and that the applicant’s
expertise, facilities and resources are
adequate to accomplish successfully the
objectives and activities stated in the
application. The requested duration of
the permit is five years.
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), an initial
determination has been made that the
activity proposed is categorically
excluded from the requirement to
prepare an environmental assessment or
environmental impact statement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) collects information about
fishing expenses in the American
Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
boat-based reef fish, bottomfish, and
pelagics fisheries with which to conduct
economic analyses that will improve
fishery management in those fisheries;
satisfy NMFS’ legal mandates under
Executive Order 12866, the MagnusonSteven Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the
Endangered Species Act, and the
National Environmental Policy Act; and
quantify achievement of the
performances measures in the NMFS
Strategic Operating Plans. An example
of these performance measures: The
economic data collected will allow
quantitative assessment of the fisheries
sector’s social and economic
contribution, linkages and impacts of
the fisheries sector to the overall
economy through Input-output (I–O)
models analyses. Results from I–O
analyses will not only provide
indicators of social-economic benefits of
the marine ecosystem, a performance
measure in the NMFS Strategic
Operating Plans, but also be used to
assess how fishermen and economy will
be impacted by and respond to
regulations likely to be considered by
fishery managers. These data are
collected in conjunction with catch and
effort data already being collected in
this fishery as part of its creel survey
program. The creel survey program is
one of the major data collection systems
to monitor fisheries resources in these
three geographic areas. The survey
monitors the islands’ fishing activities
and interviews returning fishermen at
the most active launching ramps/docks
during selected time periods on the
islands. Participation in the economic
data collection is voluntary.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information

Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
