Abstract:
The objective of the survey is to collect information on both trip expenditures and annual durable good expenditures made by marine recreational anglers. The survey will be conducted in two phases. One phase of the survey will ask anglers about their purchases of durable goods such as fishing gear, boats, vehicles, and second homes. The second phase will ask anglers about the expenses incurred on their most recent marine recreational fishing trip. As specified in the Magnuson-Stevenson Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1996 (and reauthorized in 2007), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to enumerate the economic impacts of the policies it implements on fishing participants and coastal communities. The expenditure data collected in this survey will be used to estimate the economic contributions and impacts of marine recreational fishing to each coastal state and nationwide. This request is for renewal and revision of the currently approved information collection. The revision consists of adding back in the trip expenditure survey for fishing trips targeting highly migratory species that was included in the 2014 approval.

Short Statement:
Updated the burden hours based on recent survey results of the number of actual respondents for the trip expenditures phase of the survey. An HMS angler sub-sample was added in to the trip portion (it was in the 2014 approval but taken out of the 2017 because NOAA did not anticipate conducting it between 2017 to 2020). Annual Cost to the Federal Government reduced significantly due to decrease in mailing costs as more web-based response capabilities are added.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$165,608
