the first survey conducted in FY2015.
The project is funded by NOAA and
will be conducted on its behalf by a
contractor (to be named at a future date).
The web survey will be the final data
collection piece of this repeat study and
is necessary in order to collect
demographic, financial, and functional
information for each organization with
regards to their involvement with IOOS.
The final deliverable of this project is an
analytic report detailing the findings of
the web survey and the analysis of the
employer database.
The marine technology industry is an
important partner and stakeholder
within IOOS: This follow up study will
build upon the previous baseline study
conducted in FY2015 and will identify
trends in this important industry
cluster. This information can be used to
understand the changing value of export
sales and the identification of potential
growth and/or new international
markets which would further the

strategic goal for better environment
intelligence (https://

commonly known as the NOAA
RESTORE Science Program. In addition
to standard government application

assistance are required to submit a
project summary form, current and

I. Abstract
This is a request for a new
information collection.
The Northwest Fisheries Science
Center is conducting a cost and earnings
survey of active vessels operating with
a limited entry groundfish permit that
has a fixed gear (longline and/or pot)
endorsement. Commercial fisheries
economic data collections implemented
by the Northwest Fisheries Science
Center (NWFSC) have contributed to
legally mandated analyses required
under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MFCMS), the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA), the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA), and Executive
Order 12866 (E.O. 12866).
II. Method of Collection
This survey will collect data for the
2016 and 2017 fiscal years through inperson interviews, telephone
interviews, mail responses, and on-line
responses. Based on previous economic
data collection from this population, the
NWFSC expects most survey
respondents to respond through an inperson interview.
