The MRIP Fishing Effort Survey (FES) was designed and implemented in response to amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requiring the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) be upgraded and address concerns about potential bias in the data collections. This request is to continue collecting recreational fishing effort data using the FES design. Results of this data collection effort will be used to calculate bi-monthly estimates of marine recreational fishing participation, effort and catch. We propose a supplemental information collection to test a web version of the FES design. The information collection will result in further improvements to the FES design by providing additional data quality measures and more timely access to survey data.

This requested revision results in a net decrease of 43,200 respondents and responses and 7,237 hours. Program Change: Previously, fishing effort for non-resident anglers (anglers who fish in a state other than the state of residence) was estimated from the Nonresident Angler Survey (NAS), a self-administered mail survey that sampled from lists of licensed non-resident anglers. Previous administration of the NAS suggested that coverage of the NAS sample frame is insufficient due to licensing exemptions and the time lag between development of the sample frame and the beginning of data collection. Non-resident fishing effort is now estimated through the independent Access-Point Angler Intercept Survey (OMB Control No. 0648-0659). Elimination of the NAS results in a decrease of 15,274 respondents and responses and 2,456 hours. Elimination of the 2016 Validation Follow-Up Study and the previously approved follow-up study will result in a decrease of 540 responses and 113 hours. Adjustments: Adjusting the sample size for the existing FES to account for precision requirements and available funding results in a decrease of 27,466 respondents and responses and 4,578 hours.
