of this notice. We invite the general
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed, and continuing
information collections, which helps us
assess the impact of our information

mandates under Executive Order 12866,
the Magnuson-Steven Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species
Act, and the National Environmental
Policy Act; and quantify achievement of
the performances measures in the NMFS
Strategic Operating Plans. An example
of these performance measures is the
fishing cost trend as one of the
economic performance indicators
reported in Annual Stock Assessment
and Fishery Evaluation Reports of each
Fishery Ecosystem Plan (http://
www.wpcouncil.org/annual-reports/). In
addition, the economic data collected
will allow quantitative assessment of
the fisheries sector’s social and
economic contribution, linkages and
impacts of the fisheries sector to the
overall economy through Input-output
(I–O) models analyses. Results from I–
O analyses will not only provide
indicators of social-economic benefits of
the marine ecosystem, a performance
measure in the NMFS Strategic
Operating Plans, but also be used to
assess how fishermen and economy will
be impacted by and respond to
regulations likely to be considered by
fishery managers. These data are
collected in conjunction with catch and
effort data already being collected in
this fishery as part of its creel survey
program. The creel survey program
implemented by local fishery
management agents is one of the major
data collection systems to monitor
fisheries resources in these three
geographic areas. Interviews are
conducted with returning fishermen at
the most active launching ramps/docks
during selected time periods on the
islands. The economic surveys on trip
expenditure are incorporated into the
creel survey for the three areas,
respectively.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
