I. Abstract
This request is for a review of a
regular submission (extension without
change of a currently approved
information collection).
The Southwest Fisheries Science
Center—La Jolla Laboratory (SWFSC)
proposes to collect information from the
different types of fishing vessels
operating in the U.S. West Coast
Commercial Swordfish Fishery
(WCCSF). Requested information will
include different components of
operating costs and earnings for the
various types of vessels in the U.S. west
coast commercial swordfish fleet.
This economic data collection effort
for the WCCSF will improve the
SWFSC’s capability to do the following:
(1) Describe and monitor economic
performance (e.g., profitability, capacity
utilization, efficiency, and productivity)
and impacts (e.g., sector, community, or
region-specific employment and income
impacts); (2) determine the quantity and
distribution of net benefits derived from
living marine resources; (3) understand
and predict the behavior of participants
in Federally managed commercial
fisheries; (4) predict the biological,
ecological, and economic impacts of
existing management measures and
alternative proposed management
actions; and (5) in general, more
effectively conduct the analyses
required under the MSA, the
Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the
Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA), the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), and Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA), Executive Order
12866, and other applicable law.
II. Method of Collection
A standardized survey will be
administered via in-person interview,
telephone interview and/or mail to all
WCSF participants.
