DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


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: Marine Recreational Information Program Social Network 
Analysis In-Person Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-xxxx.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (new collection).
    Number of Respondents: 180.
    Average Hours per Response: 0.5.
    Burden Hours: 90.
    Needs and Uses: NOAA Fisheries needs to educate and inform anglers 
about Marine Recreational Information Programs (MRIP) generally, and 
the agency is looking to identify how and where anglers get and share 
their information to more effectively communicate with recreational 
anglers on data collection issues by focusing communications efforts on 
important channels. In 2020, MRIP will conduct the Social Network 
Analysis In-Person Survey, which is the follow up to the 2019 Social 
Network Analysis Mail Survey. The subsequent analysis will allow MRIP 
to 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. Data 
gathered will include angler use of and trust in different sources and 
channels 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. The 
information obtained will allow MRIP to more effectively communicate 
with recreational anglers on data collection issues by focusing 
communications efforts on important network channels.
    Affected Public: Individuals or Households.
    Frequency: One-time reporting.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
