The purpose of this notice is to allow for 60 days of public comment preceding submission of the collection to OMB. DATES: To ensure consideration, comments regarding this proposed information collection must be received on or before March 8, 2022. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments to Adrienne Thomas, NOAA PRA Officer, at Adrienne.thomas@noaa.gov. Please reference OMB Control Number 0648– 0652 in the subject line of your comments. Do not submit Confidential Business Information or otherwise sensitive or protected information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or specific questions related to collection activities should be directed to Rob Andrews, Fishery Biologist, 301–427– 8105, rob.andrews@noaa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. Abstract Marine recreational anglers are surveyed to collect catch and effort data, fish biology data, and angler socioeconomic characteristics. These data are required to carry out provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding conservation and management of fishery resources. Marine recreational fishing catch and effort data are collected through a combination of mail surveys, telephone surveys and on-site intercept surveys with recreational anglers. The Marine PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 941 Recreational Information Program (MRIP) Fishing Effort Survey (FES) is a self-administered, household mail survey that samples from a residential address frame to collect data on the number of recreational anglers and the number of recreational fishing trips. The survey estimates marine recreational fishing activity for all coastal states from Maine through Mississippi, as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico. FES estimates are combined with estimates derived from complementary surveys of fishing trips, the AccessPoint Angler Intercept Survey, to estimate total, state-level fishing catch, by species. These estimates are used in the development, implementation, and monitoring of fishery management programs by NOAA Fisheries, regional fishery management councils, interstate marine fisheries commissions, and state fishery agencies. The proposed collection will include experimental work to evaluate nonsampling errors in recreational fishing surveys. Specifically, the revision will include three mail survey questionnaires designed to evaluate measurement error in the reporting of saltwater fishing effort and possession of a saltwater fishing license. II. Method of Collection Information will be collected through self-administered mail surveys. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0648–0652. Form Number(s): None. Type of Review: Regular submission (revision of a current information collection). Affected Public: Individuals or households. Estimated Number of Respondents: 113,000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    Marine recreational anglers are surveyed to collect catch and 
effort data, fish biology data, and angler socioeconomic 
characteristics. These data are required to carry out provisions of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 
1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding conservation and management of 
fishery resources.
    Marine recreational fishing catch and effort data are collected 
through a combination of mail surveys, telephone surveys and on-site 
intercept surveys with recreational anglers. The Marine Recreational 
Information Program (MRIP) Fishing Effort Survey (FES) is a self-
administered, household mail survey that samples from a residential 
address frame to collect data on the number of recreational anglers and 
the number of recreational fishing trips. The survey estimates marine 
recreational fishing activity for all coastal states from Maine through 
Mississippi, as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
    FES estimates are combined with estimates derived from 
complementary surveys of fishing trips, the Access-Point Angler 
Intercept Survey, to estimate total, state-level fishing catch, by 
species. These estimates are used in the development, implementation, 
and monitoring of fishery management programs by NOAA Fisheries, 
regional fishery management councils, interstate marine fisheries 
commissions, and state fishery agencies.
    The proposed collection will include experimental work to evaluate 
non-sampling errors in recreational fishing surveys. Specifically, the 
revision will include three mail survey questionnaires designed to 
evaluate measurement error in the reporting of saltwater fishing effort 
and possession of a saltwater fishing license.

    Information will be collected through self-administered mail 
surveys.
