Abstract:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS or NOAA Fisheries) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) are requesting revisions to this standard collection of information. The proposed revisions would do the following to the currently approved information collection. 1. Expand the geographic scope from New England and the Mid-Atlantic only to include New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico commercial fisheries; 2. Change the title from “Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England and Mid-Atlantic Commercial Fisheries” to “Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England, Mid-Atlantic, South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Commercial Fisheries”; 3. Make minor revisions to the survey form that address regional differences in fisheries; 4. Increase the burden hours to the sum of the burden hours for all four regions; and 5. Extend it for three years. The purpose of this survey is to provide for the ongoing collection of socioeconomic data for regulatory analysis related to fisheries and their communities in the Northeast and Southeast Regions of the United States. NMFS needs the socioeconomic data included in this information collection to be capable of more than cursory efforts to comply with or support the following laws, Executive Orders (EOs) and NOAA Fisheries strategies and policies, which require socioeconomic data and analyses.

Short Statement:
Administrative error in previous renewal did not annualize predicted burdens as it is only intended to conduct survey once during the 3-year period. Previous total respondents of 452 and total burden of 151 hours if correctly input, would have shown this renewal having an increase in respondents and burden due to increased scope of survey
