Information Collection Request

Title: Coast Guard Living Marine Resources (LMR) Enforcement

Survey.

OMB Control Number: 1625--NEW.

Summary: The purpose of this survey is to assess the effectiveness

of various enforcement techniques available to the U.S. Coast Guard to

promote compliance with federal LMR regulations. The results of this

survey will ultimately allow the Coast Guard to link level and type of

Coast Guard enforcement efforts with compliance decisions made by the

regulated community.

Need: The Government Performance and Results Act (Pub. L. 103-62)

requires federal agencies to evaluate the performance and effectiveness

of their programs. To evaluate the Coast Guard's LMR enforcement

effectiveness, it is necessary to assess regulated community

perceptions of various Coast Guard enforcement efforts. This analysis

of enforcement effectiveness will in turn be used by the Coast Guard to

allocate assets in such a way that efficiently maximizes influence on

compliance.

Forms: None.

[[Page 6573]]

Respondents: U.S. marine fishing permit holders and registered

saltwater recreational fishermen.

Frequency: This survey will be a one-time collection.

Burden Estimate: The estimated burden is 3,600 hours.

Dated: February 1, 2012.

R.E. Day,

Rear Admiral, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Commandant for Command,

Control, Communications, Computers and Information Technology.
