Boat-based Fisheries.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0635.

The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) collects information about
fishing expenses in the American
Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI)
boat-based reef fish, bottomfish, and
pelagics fisheries with which to conduct
economic analyses that will improve
fishery management in those fisheries;
satisfy NMFS’ legal mandates under
Executive Order 12866, the MagnusonSteven 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: the
economic data collected will allow
quantitative assessment of the fisheries

the fisheries sector to the overall
economy through Input-output (I–O)

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 is
one of the major data collection systems
to monitor fisheries resources in these
three geographic areas. The survey
monitors the islands’ fishing activities
and interviews returning fishermen at
the most active launching ramps/docks
during selected time periods on the
islands. Participation in the economic
data collection is voluntary.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
