and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of

U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Economic Survey of Gulf of Mexico Dealers Associated With 
the Gulf of Mexico Grouper-Tilefish Individual Fishing Quota Program.

collection).

    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to collect 
economic and attitudinal data from reef fish dealers regarding the 
performance of the GOM Grouper-Tilefish IFQ Program five years after 
its implementation. These data will be used to estimate the effects of 
the GT-IFQ Program on these stakeholders for the five-year program 
review mandated by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (U.S.C. 1801 et seq). The population targeted by the 
economic survey is all federally licensed dealers that participate in 
the GOM reef fish fishery. In addition, the information will be used to 
strengthen and improve fishery management decision-making, and satisfy 
legal mandates under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act, the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act 
and other pertinent statues.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Once.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.

    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
