Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be submitted on or before May 26, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments to Jennifer Jessup, Departmental 
Paperwork Clearance Officer, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new information collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to collect 
economic and attitudinal data from hired captains and crew regarding 
the performance of the GOM Grouper-Tilefish IFQ Program five years 
after its implementation. These data will be used to estimate the 
effects of the GT-IFQ Program on these stakeholders for the five-year 
program review mandated by the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation 
and Management Act (U.S.C. 1801 et seq.). The population targeted by 
the economic survey is hired captains and crew that participate in the 
GOM Grouper-Tilefish fishery. In addition, the information will be used 
to strengthen and improve fishery management decision-making, and 
satisfy legal mandates under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species Act, the

National Environmental Policy Act and other pertinent statues.

II. Method of Collection

    The economic and attitudinal information sought will be collected 
via in-person surveys.
