Time burden on commercial fishers
About 1,480 U.S. commercial fishers or fishing businesses will be asked to provide economic and demographic information. Individual survey times range from 10 minutes to 3 hours depending on the fishery, and the collection totals 1,696 annual burden hours across all respondents.
Voluntary surveys with scheduled frequency
Participation in these economic surveys is voluntary. NOAA will collect data on different fisheries on a rotating schedule—every 3 to 8 years for 15 fisheries and on average 2.7 times per year for the other fisheries—and will try to coordinate collections and limit questions to information not available elsewhere to reduce extra burden.
