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 Fishing
Expenditure Survey (MRFES).
OMB Control Number: 0648–0693.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (revision
and extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 83,426.
Average Hours per Response: Durable
goods survey, 15 minutes; trip
expenditure surveys, 5 to 8 minutes.
Burden Hours: 3,142.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
revision and extension of an existing
data collection.
The objective of the survey is to
collect information on both trip
expenditures and annual durable good
expenditures made by marine
recreational anglers. The survey will be
conducted in two parts. One part will
ask anglers about the expenses incurred
on their most recent marine recreational
fishing trip. The other part of the survey
will ask anglers about their purchases of
durable goods such as fishing gear,
boats, vehicles, and second homes. As
specified in the Magnuson-Stevenson
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act of 1996 (and reauthorized in 2007),
NMFS is required to enumerate the
economic impacts of the policies it
implements on fishing participants and
coastal communities. The expenditure
data collected in this survey will be
used to estimate the economic
contributions and impacts of marine
recreational fishing to each coastal state
and nationwide. Slight revisions will be
made to the existing trip expenditure
questions to clarify certain types of
expenditures, and two questions on the
trip expenditure instrument will be
dropped.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Frequency: Every three years.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request
may be viewed at reginfo.gov. Follow
the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under
review by OMB.
