reporting these violations. The results of
the survey will provide the Office of
Law Enforcement a better understanding
of how often observers are victimized,
which will enable them to reallocate
resources as needed, conduct more
training for observers to ensure they
know how to report, conduct training to
ensure people understand what
constitutes a victim crime, and to
increase awareness of potential
victimizations. Additionally, the survey
results will help law enforcement
understand the barriers to disclosure, so
enforcement may begin to address these
impediments so they no longer prevent
observers from disclosure.
II. Method of Collection
Data will be collected on a voluntary
basis, via an electronic survey to ensure
anonymity. The survey will be offered
to all observers who deployed in 2016
and 2017 in the North Pacific Observer
Program. Individual data will not be
released for public use.

I. Abstract
This request is for a new information
collection.
The objective of the short survey will
be to understand how anglers respond
to changes in trip costs and fishing
regulations in the Gulf of Mexico. We
are conducting this survey to improve
our ability to predict changes the
number of fishing trips anticipated with
changes in economic conditions or

the analysis of the economic effects of
proposed changes in fishing regulations
and changes in economic factors that
affect the cost of fishing such as fuel
prices.
