Activities; Submission to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
Review and Approval; Comment
Request; For-Hire Telephone Survey
The Department of Commerce will
submit the following information
collection request to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication
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
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on June 24,

Title: For-Hire Telephone Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0709.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 23,114.
Average Hours per Response: 3
minutes, 30 seconds.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,348.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection. The For-Hire
Survey (FHS) is conducted for NMFS to
estimate fishing effort on for-hire vessels
(i.e., charter boats and head boats) in
coastal states from Maine to Mississippi.
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.
The FHS collects fishing effort
information from for-hire vessel
representatives by telephone interview.
For-hire vessels are randomly selected
for the FHS from a comprehensive
sample frame developed and
maintained by NMFS. A sample of 10%
of the vessels on the FHS 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.

For-hire fishing effort is estimated in
numbers of angler-trips per sub-region,
state, two-month wave, vessel type, and
fishing area (inshore, nearshore,
offshore). To get a total for-hire effort
estimate, weekly FHS effort estimates
are summed to produce wave estimates
that are adjusted to account for frame
coverage and reporting error. The FHS
estimates are then combined with forhire catch-rate estimates derived from
complementary Marine Recreational
Information Program (MRIP) surveys, to
estimate total, state-level fishing catch.
These estimates are used in the
development, implementation, and
monitoring of fishery management
programs by the NMFS, regional fishery
management councils, interstate marine
fisheries commissions, and state fishery
agencies.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; Business or other for-profit
organizations.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
