guidance and incentive to officials
interested in improving their hazardous
weather operations. The government
will use the information collected by the
StormReady/TsunamiReady application
to determine whether a community has
met all of the guidelines to receive
StormReady/TsunamiReady recognition.
NOAA requests revision to the title of
the collection to include The WeatherReady Nation AmbassadorTM program
which is being added as a new
information collection to this control
number. The Weather-Ready Nation
(WRN) AmbassadorTM is a program of
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), designed to
strengthen partnerships with external
organizations toward building
community resilience in the face of
increasing vulnerability to extreme
weather, climate, and water events.
Organizations can apply for WeatherReady Nation AmbassadorTM
recognition. This program recognizes
NOAA partners who are improving the
nation’s readiness, responsiveness, and
overall resilience against extreme
weather, water, and climate events. As
a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador,
partners commit to working with NOAA
and other Ambassadors to strengthen
national resilience against extreme
weather.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for revision and
extension of an approved information
collection.
As specified in the MagnusonStevenson Fishery Conservation and
Management Act of 1996 (and
reauthorized in 2007), NMFS is required
to enumerate the economic impacts of
the policies it implements on fishing
participants and coastal communities.
The objective of the survey is to collect
information on marine (saltwater)
recreational fishing trip expenditures
and durable good expenditures made by
marine recreational anglers. The survey
has two parts which may be conducted
either jointly during the same calendar
year or in separate years. The trip
expenditure portion will ask anglers
about the expenses incurred on their
most recent marine recreational fishing
trip. The durable goods portion will ask
anglers about their purchases of durable
goods such as fishing gear, boats,
vehicles, and second homes over a 12
month period. The expenditure data
collected in this regular survey is
widely used by both federal, state, and
non-governmental organizations for
research and analysis regarding the
economic importance and contributions
of marine recreational fishing to each
coastal state and nationwide. The

program office would like to make
minor changes to a few of the questions
on the survey. These changes will not
affect the integrity or overall purpose of
said survey. The NMFS Office of
Science and Technology conducts the
survey and publishes the results in both
technical reports and the annual
‘Fisheries Economics of the U.S.’ report
series.
II. Method of Collection
The trip expenditure portion of the
survey may be conducted using inperson interviews at fishing sites or
using email or mail invitations to an
online web survey (with a paper version
of the survey for anglers without
internet access). The durable goods
expenditure portion will use email or
mail invitations to an online web survey
(with a paper version of the survey for
anglers without internet access).

endangered Southern California
steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
associated with the applicant’s
otherwise lawful continued operation
and maintenance of the existing
Freeman Diversion on the lower Santa
Clara River, Ventura County, and future
proposed activities for expanding the
diversion. We are considering issuing a
50-year permit to the applicant that

making the permit application and
related documents available to the
public for review and comment. We will
use the comments received, the permit
application, and other information
required by applicable statute and
