Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Annual Economic Survey of Federal Gulf and South Atlantic 
Shrimp Permit Holders.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0591.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (revision and extension of a currently 
approved information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 650.
    Average Hours per Response: 45 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 488.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for revision and extension of this 
information collection. We are not including the crew survey that was 
part of the 2015 submission. The survey was voluntary and there were no 
responses.
    NOAA Fisheries, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, annually 
collects socioeconomic data from commercial fishermen in the Gulf of 
Mexico and South Atlantic shrimp fisheries who hold one or more permits 
for harvesting shrimp from federal waters (U.S. Exclusive Economic 
Zone). Information about revenues, variable and fixed costs, capital 
investment and other socioeconomic information is collected from a 
random sample of permit holders. These data are needed to conduct 
socioeconomic analyses in support of management of the shrimp fishery 
and to satisfy legal requirements. The data will be used to assess how 
fishermen will be impacted by and respond to federal regulation likely 
to be considered by fishery managers.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
