This collection of information is
needed for permit issuance, to identify
actual or potential participants in the
fishery, determine qualifications for
permits, and to help measure the
impacts of management controls on the
participants in the fishery. The permit
program is also an effective tool in the
enforcement of fishery regulations and
facilitates communication between
NMFS and fishermen.

Activities; Submission to the Office of

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 09/05/2023
during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days
for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
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: 21,930.
Average Hours per Response: 3
minutes, 30 seconds.
Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,279.
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

Act.

important role, particularly in
communities that are lower-income or
have lower-performing schools.
Although each federal education
program has unique goals and
provisions, they often allow funds to be
used for similar purposes and services
or overlapping populations. Congress
provided state and local education
agencies greater flexibility in their use
of federal funds through the 2015
reauthorization of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act (ESEA). As
the COVID–19 pandemic began to
disrupt schools in 2020, Congress also
created new programs to provide
funding and flexibilities for states and
districts to respond to the emergency.
Because policymakers remain interested
in how federal dollars are spent, this
study will examine the distribution and
use of pandemic relief funds and
explore the possibility of examining
those issues for five ‘‘core’’ federal
education programs that represent the
vast share of the Department’s K–12
grant making: Part A of Titles I, II, III,
and IV of ESEA, and Title I, Part B of
the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA).
