SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    This request is for a new collection of information.
    The Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) is undertaking an 
economic data collection effort for the West Coast Coastal Pelagic 
Species (CPS) fleet to improve the SWFSC's capability to do the 
following: (1) Describe and monitor economic performance (e.g., 
profitability, capacity utilization, efficiency, and productivity) and 
impacts (e.g., sector, community, or region-specific employment and 
income); (2) determine the quantity and distribution of net benefits 
derived from living marine resources; (3) understand and predict the 
behavior of participants in Federally managed commercial fisheries; (4) 
predict the economic, biological, and ecological impacts of existing 
management measures and alternative proposed management actions; and, 
(5) in general, more effectively conduct the analyses required under 
the MSA, the Endangered Species ACT (ESA), and the Marine Mammal 
Protection Act (MMPDA), the National Environmental Policy Act(NEP), and 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), Executive Order 12866, and other 
applicable law.
    Coastal pelagic species (CPS) fishery participants are defined as 
U.S. west-coast vessels participating in CPS fisheries for species 
including: Jack mackerel, market squid, northern anchovy, Pacific 
mackerel, and/or Pacific sardine, using gears including but not limited 
to: Purse seine, drum seine, lampara, and dip net. We intend to survey 
all Washington-Oregon-California CPS coastal vessels in any year 
between 2015 and the initiation of the survey. This includes vessels 
fishing off California in the limited entry program under the CPS 
Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and State permitted vessels fishing off 
Washington and Oregon.

II. Method of Collection

    CPS fishery participants will be contacted and screened to 
participate in the data collection. An economic survey will be 
scheduled and administered to eligible respondents as appropriate. 
Screener, scheduling and survey modes may include in-person, internet, 
phone, or mail.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (new information collection).
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organization.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes for screener; 5 minutes to 
schedule survey for qualified and interested respondents; 90 minutes 
for the survey.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 111.
    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 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: September 14, 2018.
