I. Abstract

    This request is for a new collection of information.
    The Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) is undertaking an 
economics data collection effort for the West Coast Swordfish Fishery 
(WCSF) in order to improve the SWFSC's capability to do the following: 
(1) Describe and monitor economic performance (e.g., profitability, 
capacity utilization, efficiency, and productivity) and impacts (e.g., 
sector, community, or region-specific employment and income); (2) 
determine the quantity and distribution of net benefits derived from 
living marine resources; (3) understand and predict the ecological, and 
behavior of participants in Federally managed commercial fisheries; (4) 
predict the biological, ecological, and economic impacts of existing 
management measures and alternative proposed management actions; and 
(5) in general, more effectively conduct the analyses required under 
the MSA, the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the Marine Mammal 
Protection Act (MMPDA), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 
and Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), Executive Order 12866, and other 
applicable law.

II. Method of Collection

    WCSF participants will be contacted and screened to participate in 
the data collection. A cost and earnings survey will be scheduled and 
administered to eligible respondents as appropriate. Screener, 
scheduling and survey modes may include in-person, Internet, phone, or 
mail.
    WCSF participants are defined as current or former participants in

support services to the fishery, such as processors and spotter-plane 
pilots.
