I. Abstract

    This request is for revision and extension of a currently approved

socioeconomic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico and 
South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who hold one or more permits for 
harvesting shrimp from federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone). 
Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital 
investment and other socioeconomic information is collected from a 
random sample of permit holders. Additionally, we will pilot a short 
demographic/socioeconomic survey of shrimp vessel crews. Next to 
nothing is known about the 4-5 thousand individuals crewing federally 
permitted shrimp vessels. These data are needed to conduct 
socioeconomic analyses in support of management of the shrimp fishery 
and to satisfy legal requirements. The data will be used to assess how 
fishermen will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely 
to be considered by fishery managers.

II. Method of Collection

    The information will be collected on paper using a mail survey.

III. Data
