The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires that the Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) be upgraded and that future fishing surveys target anglers licensed or registered at the State or Federal level. Several pilot studies to test new survey methods have been completed. This revision is requested to implement a new method for collecting recreational fishing effort data on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Results of this data collection will be used to calculate bi-monthly estimates of marine recreational fishing participation and effort. In December 2013 we proposed a supplemental information collection, the Validation Follow-Up Study, to be administered to respondents who had previously responded to the FES. This study will further assess sources of error, specifically measurement error, in the FES design. The information collection will result in further improvements to the FES design and is critical for anticipating and explaining the impacts of transitioning from the CHTS to the FES. OMB approved the change request for this study on December 6, 2013, with a second change request to be submitted when the instrument became final. The final instrument is included with this request. There is no change to burden or cost from the original change request.
