This request is for extension of a
currently approved information collection. United States (U.S.)
commercial fishermen may file claims for compensation for losses
of, or damage to, fishing gear or vessels, plus 50 percent of
resulting economic losses, attributable to oil and gas activities
on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. To obtain compensation,
applicants must comply with requirements set forth in 50 CFR part
296. The requirements include a “report” within 15 days of the date
the vessel first returns to port after the casualty incident to
gain a presumption of eligible causation, and a “Claim Application”
within 90 days of when the applicant first became aware of the loss
and/or damage. The 15-Day Report is NOAA Form 88-166 and it
requests identifying information such as: Respondent's name;
address; social security number; and casualty location. The
information in the report is usually completed by NOAA during a
telephone call with the respondent. The Claim Application is NOAA
Form 88-164 and it requires the respondent to provide information
on the property and economic losses and/or damages including type
of damage; purchase date and price of lost/damaged gear; and income
from recent fishing trips. It also includes an affidavit by which
the applicant attests to the truthfulness of the claim.
