Abstract: Economic data will be collected from shrimp vessel owners who operate in federal waters of the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. These fishermen are required to have a federal permit for the commercial catch of penaeid shrimp, or one of two different permits for the catch of rock shrimp. A collection of economic information from fishermen affected by the management of federal commercial fisheries is needed to ensure that national goals, objectives, and requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MFCMA) and other laws are met. This information is vital in assessing the economic and social effects of management decisions and regulations on individual fishing enterprises, fishing communities, and the nation as a whole. This request is to modify/add questions to give options to record income/expenses from oil clean-up activities.
