response, b) 5 minutes per dockside interview response and 1.5 minutes per interview telephone
validation response, c) 1 minute per biological sampling response, d) 4 minutes per headboat
captain telephone interview response, and 8 minutes per headboat at-sea survey response. These estimates
include the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and
maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing thecollection of information.

collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to: NMFS, Fisheries Statistics
