SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This is a request for a new information collection.
    The Northwest Fisheries Science Center will conduct a cost and 
earnings survey of active marine charter fishing vessel companies in 
Washington and Oregon. The data collected will be used by the National 
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to address statutory and regulatory 
mandates to determine the quantity and distribution of net benefits 
derived from living marine resources as well as to predict the economic 
impacts from proposed management options on charter fishing businesses, 
shore side industries, and fishing communities. In particular, these 
economic data collection programs contribute to legally mandated 
analyses required under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act (MFCMS), the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), and Executive Order 12866 (E.O. 
12866).

II. Method of Collection

    An initial screening interview will be completed via telephone, and 
active marine charter vessels will receive a subsequent mixed-mode 
(telephone, mail, and in-person) survey.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (request for a new information 
collection).
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 320.
    Estimated Time per Response: Initial telephone screen: 2 minutes; 
follow-up detailed survey: 22 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 64.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0 in recordkeeping/
reporting costs.

IV. Request for Comments

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

[[Page 15374]]

is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden (including hours and 
cost) of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and/or included in the request for OMB approval of this information 
collection; they also will become a matter of public record.

    Dated: April 5, 2018.
