    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Social and Economic Impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the 
Commercial and Recreational Fisheries of New York and New Jersey.

    The Northeast Fisheries Science Center's Social Sciences Branch 
seeks to conduct a one year assessment of the social and economic 
impacts from Hurricane Sandy to the commercial and recreational fishing 
industries in New York and New Jersey. It seeks to collect data on the 
long term disruption and impediments to recovery of normal business 
practices to the commercial and recreational fishing industries. It 
seeks to collect data from commercial and for-hire fishermen, marinas, 
fish dealers, bait and tackle stores, and other businesses dependent on 
the fishing industry for livelihood. The data will improve research and 
analysis of potential fishery management actions by understanding the 
long-term compounding effects of this natural disaster on communities 
most dependent on fishing. It is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens 
Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
