SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new information collection.
    The NOAA Fisheries Office of Science and Technology's Economics and 
Social Analysis Division seeks to conduct assessments of the social and 
economic impacts from hurricanes and other climate related natural 
disasters on commercial and recreational fishing industries in the 
eastern, gulf coast and Caribbean territories of the United States. It 
seeks to collect data on the immediate and long-term disruption and 
impediments to recovery of normal business practices to the commercial 
and recreational fishing industries. Data would be collected from 
commercial and recreational for hire fishermen, fish dealers, bait and 
tackle stores, marinas and other businesses dependent on the fishing 
industry for livelihood. The data will improve research and analysis of 
potential fishery management actions by understanding the immediate 
effects and/or long-term compounding effects of natural disasters on 
communities most dependent on commercial and recreational fishing. This 
data collection is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 
Conservation and Management Act and essential for implementing National 
Standard 8, which calls for the sustained participation of fishing 
communities.

II. Method of Collection

    This information will be collected by telephone, on-line, and in 
person.

information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
