Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,879.
Needs and Uses: The National
Estuarine Research Reserve System
(NERRS) is a partnership between the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and 24 states
and Puerto Rico that protects more than
1.3 million coastal and estuarine acres
in 30 Reserves for long-term research,
monitoring, education, and stewardship,
established under Section 315 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
of 1972 (16 U.S.C. 1451), 16 U.S.C.
1461. The NERRS consists of carefully
selected estuarine areas of the United
States that are designated, preserved,
and managed for research and
educational purposes. The Reserves are
chosen to reflect regional differences
and to include a variety of ecosystem
types according to the classification
scheme of the national program as
presented in 15 CFR part 921. As part
of a national system, the Reserves
collectively provide a unique
opportunity to address research
questions and estuarine management
issues of national significance. The
Reserves also serve to enhance public
awareness and understanding of
estuarine areas and provide suitable
opportunities for public education and
interpretation. Regulations provide
guidance for delineating Reserve
boundaries and additional guidance for

arriving at the most effective and least
costly approach to establishing adequate
state control of key land and water
areas. Any qualified public or private
persons, organizations or institutions
may compete for research funding to
work in research Reserves. In fact,
applicants are almost always states.
Subsection 315(e)(1)(B) of the CZMA
authorizes the National Ocean Service
(NOS) to make grants to, or cooperative
agreements with, any coastal state or
public or private institution or person
for purposes of supporting research
within the NERRS. This program is
listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under ‘‘Coastal Zone
Management Estuarine Research
Reserve, Number 11.420.’’ Applications
for such grants follow the provisions of
2 CFR 200. During the site selection and
designation process, information is
collected from states in order to prepare
a management plan and environmental
impact statement. Designated Reserves
apply annually for operations funds by
submitting a work plan; subsequently,
progress reports are required every six
months for the duration of the award.
Each Reserve compiles an ecological
characterization or site profile to
describe the biological and physical
environment of the Reserve, research to
date and research gaps. Reserves revise
their management plans every five
years. A competitive fellowship
program supports opportunities for
graduate students to conduct research at
each Reserve. This information is
required to ensure that Reserves are
adhering to regulations and that the
Reserves are in keeping with the
purpose for which they were
designated.
Affected Public: Non-profit
institutions; state, local, or tribal
government.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain funding.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for 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 as-needed 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
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
PO 00000
Frm 00006

commercial and recreational fishing
industries and the communities most
dependent on those industries. 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.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0767.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission.
Extension of a current information
collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households and business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7,184.
Estimated Time per Response:
Regional surveys of fishing operations:
30 minutes; Regional surveys of other
fishing related businesses: 30 minutes;
National surveys of fishing operations:
20 minutes; and National surveys of
other fishing related businesses: 20
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,200 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens

Act SEC. 315(c).
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this information
collection request. Before including
