SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    This request is for new information collection. The title will be 
``Marine Recreational Information Program Social Network Survey.''
    In its 2017 review of NOAA Fisheries' Marine Recreational 
Information Program (MRIP), the National Academies of Sciences, 
Engineering, and Medicine, also known as the National Academies, 
recommended the program enhance its communications and outreach 
activities, particularly among the recreational fishing community. MRIP 
is taking an objective, research-based approach to doing so. In 2016, 
MRIP conducted a partner and stakeholder needs assessment. In 2018, 
MRIP will undertake a social network survey. This effort will help 
identify relationships, networks, channels, and information flow among 
a target population, in this case the numerous audiences that comprise 
the recreational fishing community. Completing this survey and the 
subsequent analysis will help MRIP more effectively engage with its 
audiences by identifying key influencers and information pathways, and 
identifying the areas of greatest need and greatest opportunity for 
relationship-building.
    A mail survey sample will be drawn from the National Saltwater 
Angler Registry, a database of licensed recreational anglers living in 
the U.S. The information comes mostly from state-based saltwater 
fishing license and registration programs. Questions will explore such 
issues as broad information channels and pathways among recreational 
anglers; understanding of and confidence in recreational data 
collection, estimation, and reporting; confidence in their information 
sources; awareness of the distinctions and connections between 
recreational data collection and recreational fisheries management, 
etc., including regional differences. Data gathered will include angler 
use of and trust in different sources (e.g., other recreational 
anglers, recreational fishing clubs, state management agencies, federal 
management agencies, tackle shops, etc.) and channels (e.g., mass 
media, social media, personal conversations, online message boards, 
fishing club meetings, etc.) of fisheries management information. These 
data will be used to identify key information sources for recreational 
anglers, evaluate regional differences in information sources, and 
evaluate recreational angler confidence in management and data 
collection efforts, thus allowing MRIP to more effectively communicate 
with recreational anglers on data collection issues by focusing 
communications efforts on important network channels.

    Information will be collected through mail surveys.
