SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new collection of information.
    The Northwest Fisheries Science Center and Southwest Fisheries 
Science Center are undertaking an economics research project to assess 
the behavior of saltwater recreational anglers in response to catch 
rates, bag limits, and the timing and length of the season, and how 
these actions affect the value of saltwater recreational fishing. The 
West Coast Saltwater Fishing Survey (WCSFS) will provide critical 
economic data related to saltwater recreational fishing on the Pacific 
West Coast. More specifically, the WCSFS will collect data needed to 
(1) assess the socioeconomic characteristics of recreational saltwater 
fishing participants; (2) assess the economic value of saltwater 
recreational fishing trips through statistical estimation of models; 
and (3) assess the change in these values associated with possible 
changes in management policies related to catch rates, bag limits, 
season timing and length, time and area closures, and changes in 
economic, ocean, or fishery conditions.

II. Method of Collection

    A sample of fishing license holders will be screened with a brief 
telephone or email survey (screener), followed by an internet or mail 
survey, as appropriate.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (new information collection).
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8744.
    Estimated Time per Response: 25 minutes for respondents who

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 531.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

collection of information on respondents, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology.
