I. Abstract

    This request is for extension of a currently approved collection.
    The National Saltwater Angler Registry Program (Registry Program) 
was established to implement recommendations included in the review of 
national saltwater angling data collection programs conducted by the 
National Research Council (NRC) in 2005/2006, and the provisions of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act, codified at Section 401(g) of the

[[Page 57225]]

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), which 
require the Secretary of Commerce to commence improvements to 
recreational fisheries surveys, including establishing a national 
saltwater angler and for-hire vessel registry, by January 1, 2009. A 
final rule that includes regulatory measures to implement the Registry 
Program (RIN 0648-AW10) was adopted and codified in 50 CFR 600, Subpart 
P.
    The Registry Program collects identification and contact 
information from those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in 
recreational fishing in the United States Exclusive Economic Zone or 
for anadromous fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are 
exempted from the registration requirement. Data collected includes: 
For anglers: Name, address, date of birth, telephone contact 
information and region(s) of the country in which they fish; for for-
hire vessels: Owner and operator name, address, date of birth, 
telephone contact information, vessel name and registration/
documentation number and home port or primary operating area. This 
information is compiled into a national and/or series of regional 
registries that is being used to support surveys of recreational 
anglers and for-hire vessels to develop estimates of recreational 
angling effort.

II. Method of Collection

    Persons may register on line at a NOAA-maintained Web site. 
Registration cards, valid for one year from the date of issuance, are 
mailed to registrants.
