Abstract:
We propose a supplemental information collection, another Validation Follow-Up Study that will further assess sources of error, specifically measurement error, in the FES design. The information collection will result in further improvements to the FES design and is critical for anticipating and explaining the impacts of transitioning from the CHTS to the FES. The Validation Follow-up Study will consist of a follow-up web survey of FES respondents to ensure that reported information is accurate and that respondents fully understand the survey questions and instructions. This survey will coincide with the wave 4, 2016 Specifically, the validation study will confirm the number of household residents that fished during the reference wave, the number of trips by fishing mode (private boat fishing and shore fishing) taken by each household resident, and confirm that reported trips are within the scope of the survey (e.g. saltwater fishing trips within the study state). Results from the Validation Study will identify potential reporting error in the FES by quantifying the extent to which FES respondents provide accurate responses. This information will identify potential improvements to the FES questionnaire and instructions and may be used to adjust FES estimates to account for measurement error.

Short Statement:
This sukrvey will add 280 responses and 70 hours. We will accommodate this additional burden by uniformly reducing FES sampling levels among all states and reference waves such that there will be no net increase in overall annual burden. FES sampling will be reduced by 0.02% overall, or fewer than 3 respondents per state and wave to accommodate the Validation Follow-Up Study.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
