Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2020 / Notices
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.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0751.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension without change of a currently
approved information collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50.
Estimated Time per Response: 60
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 50.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: There is no cost to respondents
other than their time.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.

Department PRA Clearance Officer, Office of
the Chief Information Officer, Commerce
