Number of Respondents: 442.
Average Hours per Response: 0.23.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 102.10.
Needs and Uses: This request is for a
revision to a currently approved
information collection. The objective of
the original data collection effort under
OMB Control Number 0648–0783 was to
assess how changes in saltwater
recreational fishing regulations affect
angler effort, angler welfare, fishing
mortality, and future stock levels. That
data collection effort focused on anglers
who fished for Atlantic cod and
haddock off the Atlantic coast from
Maine to Massachusetts. Under this
revised information collection request,
the objective remains the same, but a
new survey will be added with the focus
on anglers who fish for summer
flounder and black sea bass in the North
Atlantic coastal states of New York and
New Jersey.
Data collected from this survey will
improve our ability to understand and
predict how changes in management
options and regulations may change
fishing mortality and the number of
trips anglers take for summer flounder
and black sea bass. This data will allow
fisheries managers to conduct updated
and improved analysis of the socioeconomic effects of proposed changes in
fishing regulations to recreational
anglers and to coastal communities. The
recreational fishing community and
regional fisheries management councils
have requested more species-specific
socio-economic studies of recreational
fishing that can be used in the analysis
of fisheries policies. This survey will
address that stated need for more
species-specific studies. In addition, the
survey data will provide the foundation
for a Management Strategy Evaluation
designed to assess the added economic
value to anglers associated with
minimizing summer flounder discards.
This work will be conducted as part of
the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Management
Council’s Ecosystem Approach to
Fisheries Management process.
The survey population consists of
those anglers who fish in saltwater in
the North Atlantic coastal states of New
York and New Jersey and who possess
a license to fish. A sample of anglers
will be drawn from both state fishing
license frames. The survey will be
conducted using both mail and email to
contact anglers and invite them to take
the survey online. Anglers not
responding to the online survey will
receive a paper survey in the mail.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Frequency: The NARFS II will be a
cross-sectional survey asking anglers to
respond once to a single questionnaire.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
