SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an
approved information collection.
The Nation Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) Office of Science and
Technology is sponsoring the collection
Economic Surveys of Specific US
Commercial Fisheries.
The requested information includes
different components of operating costs/
expenditures, earnings, ownership,
vessel characteristics, effort/gear
descriptors, employment, and
demographic information for the various
types of fishing vessels operating in the
16 U.S. commercial fisheries or groups
of fisheries listed below.
1. West Coast Limited Entry Groundfish
Fixed Gear Fishery
2. West Coast Open Access Groundfish,
Non-tribal Salmon, Crab, and
Shrimp Fisheries
3. American Samoa Longline Fishery
4. Hawaii Longline Fishery
5. Hawaii Small Boat Fishery
6. American Samoa Small Boat Fishery
7. American Samoa (ESAS), Guam, and
The Commonwealth of The
Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
Small Boat-Based Fisheries
8. Mariana Archipelago Small Boat
Fishery
9. USVI Small-Scale Fisheries
10. Puerto Rico Small-Scale Fisheries
11. Gulf of Mexico Inshore Shrimp
Fishery
12. Golden Crab Fisheries in the U.S.
South Atlantic Region
13. West Coast Coastal Pelagic Fishery
14. West Coast Swordfish Fishery
15. West Coast North Pacific Albacore
Fishery
16. Greater Atlantic Region Commercial
Fisheries
A variety of laws, Executive Orders
(E.O.s), and NOAA strategies and
policies include requirements for
economic data and the analyses they
support. When met adequately, those

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 15 / Friday, January 24, 2025 / Notices
requirements allow better-informed
conservation and management decisions
on the use of living marine resources
and marine habitat in federally managed
fisheries. Obtaining these data improves
the ability of NOAA Fisheries and the
Regional Fishery Management Councils
(Councils) to monitor, explain and
predict changes in the economic
performance and impacts of federally
managed commercial fisheries.
Measures of economic performance
include costs, earnings, and profitability
(net revenue); productivity and
economic efficiency; capacity; economic
stability; the level and distribution of
net economic benefits to society; and
market power. The economic impacts
include sector, community or regionspecific, and national employment,
sales, value-added, and income impacts.
Economic data are required to support
more than a cursory effort to comply
with or support the following laws,
E.O.s, and NOAA strategies and
policies:
1. Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA)
2. Marine Mammal Protection Act
(MMPA)
3. Endangered Species Act (ESA)
4. National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
5. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
6. E.O. 12866 (Regulatory Planning and
Review)
7. The NOAA Fisheries Guidelines for
Economic Reviews of Regulatory
Actions
8. NOAA FY22–26 Strategic Plan,
Building a Climate Ready Nation
9. The NOAA Fisheries Strategic Plan
2022–2025 (Strategic Plan)
10. The NOAA Fisheries EcosystemBased Fishery Management (EBFM)
Road Map
11. The NOAA Fisheries National
Bycatch Reduction Strategy
12. NOAA’s Catch Share Policy
Data collections will focus each year
on a different set of the 16 commercial
fisheries or groups of fisheries. This
cycle of data collection will facilitate
economic data being available and
updated for all those commercial
fisheries.
There will be an effort to coordinate
the data collections in order to reduce
the additional burden for those who
participate in multiple fisheries. To
further reduce the burden, the requested
information for a specific fishery will be
limited to that which is not available
from other sources. Participation in
these data collections will be voluntary.

II. Method of Collection
The information will be collected by
mail, internet, phone, and in-person
interviews. In general, respondents will
receive a mailed copy of the survey
instrument in advance of a phone or inperson interview. Where feasible,
survey respondents will have the option
to respond to an on-line survey. If
phone and in-person interviews are not
feasible or not desired by the potential
respondents, the information will be
