SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a current information collection.
    National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) annually 
collects information from seafood and industrial fishing processing 
plants on the volume and value of their processed fishery products and 
their monthly employment figures. NOAA also collects monthly production 
volume of fish meal, oil, and solubles. The information gathered is 
used by NOAA in the economic and social analyses developed when 
proposing and evaluating fishery management actions.

II. Method of Collection

    In the current survey, NOAA Fisheries provides each processor with 
a pre-printed survey form that includes the products produced by that 
processor in the previous year. The processor only needs to fill in the 
quantity of product, value of product, monthly employment, and add any 
new products. New firms to the survey are provided blank forms. 
Responses are submitted by mail, via postage-paid envelopes provided by 
NOAA Fisheries.
