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: For-Hire Telephone Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0709.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 33,923.
Average Hours per Response: 3
minutes, 30 seconds.
Burden Hours: 1,283.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The For-Hire
Telephone Survey (FHTS) is conducted
for the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) to estimate fishing
effort and catch on for-hire vessels (i.e.,
charter boats and head boats). These
data are required to carry out provisions
of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as amended,
regarding conservation and management
of fishery resources.
NOAA Fisheries designed and
implemented the FHTS to collect
fishing effort information from for-hire
vessel representatives through log sheet
submission, the internet, or by
telephone interview. For-hire vessels are
randomly selected for the FHTS from a
comprehensive sample frame developed
and maintained by NMFS. A sample of
10% of the vessels on the FHTS frame
are selected for reporting each week.
Each interview collects information
about the vessel, the number and type
of trips the vessel made during the
reporting week, the number of anglers
on each trip, and other trip-level
information.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
