The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) is requesting an extension and revision to this standard information collection. The proposed revisions would do the following to the currently approved information collection. 1. Expand the scope from New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico commercial fisheries to Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, West Coast, and Pacific Islands commercial fisheries; 2. Change the title from “Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Commercial Fisheries” to “Social and-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in Commercial Fisheries”; 3. Replace the survey instrument that OMB approved in 2021, which included a few region specific questions, with region specific survey instruments that NMFS produced by eliminating the few irrelevant questions for each region, adding a few region-specific questions, rewording a few questions to make them region-specific and/or OMB compliant, and giving each survey a region-specific name. 4. Adjust the burden and government cost estimates to account for those changes and a revised estimate of the burden minutes per response; and 5. Extend it for three years. Under the revised information collection, the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) will conduct the survey for the New England and Mid-Atlantic fisheries; the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) will conduct the survey for the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands fisheries; the Northwest Fisheries Science Center (NWFSC) and the Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) will jointly conduct the survey for the West Coast fisheries; and the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) will conduct the survey for the Pacific Islands fisheries. Each Fisheries Science Center will conduct a social and economic survey of hired captains and crew once in the following three years for its commercial fisheries.

Adjustment to the burden of this information collection would result from the following: 1) expanding the scope from New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico commercial fisheries to Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, West Coast, and Pacific Islands commercial fisheries and 2) replacing the survey instrument that OMB approved in 2021, which included a few region specific questions, with region specific survey instruments that NMFS produced by eliminating the few irrelevant questions for each region, adding a few region-specific questions, rewording a few questions to make them region-specific, and giving each survey a region-specific name. Those changes increased both the estimated numbers of respondents and responses. The decrease in the estimated minutes per response more than offset the expansion in scope and the estimated burden hours decreased insignificantly. However, due to using a higher hourly wage rate, the estimated total wage burden increased
