Abstract: This Information Collection Request (ICR) seeks authorization to conduct a survey assessing the utilization of U.S. West Coast port infrastructure. The study specifically evaluates the potential impacts of offshore decommissioning activities on port-based industries, with a primary focus on the commercial and recreational fishing sectors. Resulting data will support the development of comprehensive port profiles and technical reports to inform the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in its strategic planning and decision-making processes.
