SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved information 
collection. United States (U.S.) commercial fishermen may file claims 
for compensation for losses of, or damage to, fishing gear or vessels, 
plus 50 percent of resulting economic losses, attributable to oil and 
gas activities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf. To obtain 
compensation, applicants must comply with requirements set forth in 50 
CFR part 296.
    The requirements include a ``report'' within 15 days of the date 
the vessel first returns to port after the casualty incident to gain a 
presumption of eligible causation, and an ``application'' within 90 
days of when the applicant first became aware of the loss and/or 
damage.
    The report is NOAA Form 88-166 and it requests identifying 
information such as: Respondent's name; address; social security 
number; and casualty location. The information in the report is usually 
completed by NOAA during a telephone call with the respondent.
    The application is NOAA Form 88-164 and it requires the respondent 
to provide information on the property and economic losses and/or 
damages including type of damage; purchase date and price of lost/
damaged gear; and income from recent fishing trips. It also includes an 
affidavit by which the applicant attests to the truthfulness of the 
claim.

II. Method of Collection

    Respondents may telephone NOAA and provide the information for the 
report verbally or submit a paper or electronic report. Respondents 
have a choice of either electronic or paper forms for the application.

IV. Request for Comments

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of

utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information;
