and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Cost Earnings Survey of Mariana Archipelago Small Boat

    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (request for a new information

    Number of Respondents: 280.
    Average Hours per Response: 45 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 210.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for a new information collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) proposes to collect 
information about fishing expenses and catch distribution (the share of 
fish that is sold, retained for home consumption, directed to customary 
exchange, etc.) for the Mariana Archipelago small boat-based reef fish, 
bottomfish, and pelagics fisheries with which to conduct economic 
analyses that will improve fishery management in those fisheries; 
satisfy NMFS' legal mandates under Executive Order 12866, the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the 
National Environmental Policy Act; and quantify achievement of the 
performances measures in the NMFS Strategic Operating Plans. 
Respondents will include small boat fishers in Mariana Archipelago 
(Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) and their 
participation in the economic data collection will be voluntary. These 
data will be used to assess how fishermen will be impacted by and 
respond to regulations likely to be considered by fishery managers.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: One time.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
