generic clearance will be designed based upon accepted statistical 
practices and sampling methodologies, will gather consistent and valid 
data that are representative of the target population(s), address non-

statistically useful results.
    Affected Public: Commodity shippers who use coastal harbors and/or 
inland waterways; carriers who transit inland waterways; and commercial 
fishers.

commercial fishing fleet owners and licensed fishers. The surveys are 
often coordinated with local governments and trade associations to 
encourage cooperation for a high response rate.
