DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    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: Marine Recreational Information Program, Access-Point Angler 
Intercept Survey (APAIS).
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0659.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 100,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.083.
    Burden Hours: 8,333.
    Needs and Uses: Data collected from the APAIS are used to estimate 
the finfish catch per angler of recreational saltwater fishers. These 
APAIS estimates are combined with estimates derived from independent 
but complementary surveys of fishing effort, the Fishing Effort Survey 
and the For-Hire Survey, to estimate total, state-level fishing catch 
by species. These estimates are used in the development, 
implementation, and monitoring of fishery management programs by the 
NMFS, regional fishery management councils, interstate marine fisheries 
commissions, and state fishery agencies. These data are required to 
carry out provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding 
conservation and management of fishery resources.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
