DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE




Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the emergency provisions of the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Ohio Angler Survey.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Type of Request: Emergency submission.
    Burden Hours: 325.
    Number of Respondents: 1,050.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes for two logbooks; 5 minutes 
for a survey questionnaire; and 5 minutes for a follow-up telephone 
survey.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection will provide important 
assistance to the NOAA Damage Assessment Center (DAC) in performing 
Natural Resource Damage (NRD) assessments. In the course of assessing 
economic losses due to oil or chemical spills, DAC frequently employs 
econometric models of recreational activity. The Ohio Angler Survey 
will provide an estimate of an economic input essential to these 
models, by taking advantage of a situation unique to the Ohio State 
Park system. The respondents will be licensed Ohio anglers. They will 
be asked to complete semi-annual logs of their fishing and a one-time 
survey. Non-respondents will be asked to respond to a telephone survey.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: Semi-annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6625, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent by June 27, 2003 to David Rostker, OMB Desk 
Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office Building, Washington, DC 
20503.
