SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This request is for an extension to an
approved collection. This collection is
currently approved for implementation
in the New England, Mid-Atlantic,
South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico
regions by NOAA National Marine
Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries
Science Center’s Social Sciences Branch
(NEFSC–SSB) and Southeast Fisheries
Science Center Social Science Research
Group (SEFSC–SSRG). The NEFSC and
SEFSC seek to conduct surveys to
provide for the ongoing collection of
social and economic data related to the
fishing industries in those states. The
purpose of this survey is to assess and
track over time the social and economic
conditions of commercial fishing crews
and hired captains for which little is
known. This survey will provide data
on social and economic impacts for this
population and the changes in fisheries
because of regulatory changes. Data to
be collected include demographic
information on crew, individual and
community well-being, fishing
practices, job satisfaction, job
opportunities, and attitudes toward
fisheries management.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) and Magnuson-Stevens
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA) both contain requirements for
considering the social and economic
impacts of fishery management
decisions. There is a need to understand
how such fishery management policies
and programs will affect the social and
economic characteristics of those
involved in the commercial fishing
industry. To help meet these
requirements of NEPA and MSA, the
NEFSC and SEFSC will collect data on
an ongoing basis to track how socioeconomic characteristics of fisheries are
changing over time and the impact of
fishery management policies and
programs implemented in New England,
Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of
Mexico regions.
II. Method of Collection
This information will be collected
through in-person intercept interviews.
