NOAA Fisheries has not collected this
data for the Gulf shrimp fishery since 1992. Other attempts to
collect costs and returns data have had a small scope and/or their
limited duration. Current economic and social data is needed for
the Gulf shrimp fishery as a whole in order to accurately assess
the positive and/or negative impacts of federal rules and
regulations.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
