Paperwork Reduction Act Statement. NOAA’s Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) is collecting this economic information to improve its ability to conduct the analyses required by the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and other applicable law. The PIFSC and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council will use this information to monitor, explain and predict
changes in the economic performance and impacts of the Guam commercial fisheries. Among other things, this will enable fisheries managers and the public to more fully consider the economic effects of
proposed and existing regulations for these important fisheries. A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB
Control Number for this information collection is 0648-0773 and its expiration date is XX/XX/20XX. Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this information
collection is estimated to be approximately 10 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and
reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are voluntary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to the NOAA Fisheries at: 1845 Wasp Blvd., Building 176, Honolulu, HI 96818, Attn: Minling Pan, and Minling.Pan@noaa.gov if desired.
