SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This is a request for extension of an
existing information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) proposes to conduct a census of
small-scale fishermen operating in the
United States (U.S.) Caribbean. This
data collection applies to Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
proposed socio-economic study will
collect information on demographics,
capital investment in fishing gear and
vessels, fishing and marketing practices,
economic performance, and
miscellaneous attitudinal questions. The
data gathered will be used for the
development of amendments to fishery
management plans, which require
descriptions of the human and
economic environment and socioeconomic analyses of regulatory
proposals. The information collected
will also be used to strengthen fishery
management decision-making and
satisfy various legal mandates under the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(U.S.C. 1801 et seq.; MSA), Executive
Order 12866, Regulatory Flexibility Act,
Endangered Species Act (ESA), and
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), and other pertinent statues.
