SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for revision and
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Office of Science and
Technology’s Economics and Social
Analysis Division seeks to conduct asneeded data collections to support
mandated comprehensive economic and
socio-economic evaluations of the
fisheries in regions of the United States
affected by catastrophic events. The six
NMFS Fisheries Science Centers will
assist in conducting the proposed
collections.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) includes the following
requirement (see SEC. 315 (c)), ‘‘Within
2 months after a catastrophic regional
fishery disaster the Secretary [of
Commerce] shall provide the Governor
of each State participating in the
program a comprehensive economic and
socio-economic evaluation of the
affected region’s fisheries to assist the
Governor in assessing the current and
future economic viability of affected
fisheries, including the economic
impact of foreign fish imports and the
direct, indirect, or environmental
impact of the disaster on the fishery and
coastal communities.’’ The MSA
permits the proposed collection and
NMFS would conduct it under the
MSA.
This collection will provide
information that NMFS will use to
produce the comprehensive economic
and socio-economic evaluation required
by the MSA.
For a rapid catastrophic event, such as
a hurricane, NMFS seeks to collect data
on the immediate and long-term
disruption and impediments to recovery
of normal business practices to the
commercial and recreational fishing
industries, including fishing dependent
businesses. In addition, for an ongoing
event, such as a pandemic or red tide
that lingers for many months in the
same region(s), NMFS seeks to collect
data quarterly to semi-annually as
needed to evaluate the ongoing event.
NMFS would collect the data from
E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM
02MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 39 / Tuesday, March 2, 2021 / Notices
commercial and recreational for hire
fishermen, fish dealers, seafood
processors, bait and tackle shops, and
boat repair/marine supply/other
associated businesses.
NMFS will use the data to prepare the
required economic and socio-economic
evaluations and to improve research and
analysis of potential fishery
management actions by understanding
the immediate, quarterly or semiannual, and/or long-term compounding
effects of catastrophic events on the
commercial and recreational fishing
industries and the communities most
dependent on those industries.
The proposed revisions would expand
the coverage of the currently approved
information collection in two ways.
First, they would expand the types of
catastrophic events from ‘‘hurricanes
and other climate related natural
disasters’’ to events including
hurricanes, tsunamis, floods, freshwater
intrusions, severe harmful algal blooms
(e.g., red tides), extreme temperatures,
oil spills, and pandemics. Second, they
would extend the geographic scope from
the ‘‘Eastern, Gulf Coast and Caribbean
Territories of the United States’’ to all
regions and territories of the United
States. These proposed expansions are
reflected in the request to change the
title from ‘‘Assessment of the Social and
Economic Impact of Hurricanes and
Other Climate Related Natural Disasters
on Commercial and Recreational
Fishing Industries in the Eastern, Gulf
Coast and Caribbean Territories of the
United States’’ to ‘‘Data Collections to
Support Comprehensive Economic and
Socio-Economic Evaluations of the
Fisheries in Regions of the United States
Affected by Catastrophic Events.’’
NMFS will improve the survey
instruments and collection methods
based on lessons learned from
conducting and assessing the previous
information collections. The frequency
of reporting will be from one to four
times a year for each catastrophic event.
II. Method of Collection
NMFS will use a combination of inperson, telephone and video call
interviews, as well as mail and internet
surveys, to collect the required
information.
