    The Department of Commerce is inviting public comments on the necessity and impact of collecting economic data from Gulf and South Atlantic shrimp fishers who hold federal permits. This data collection is part of a larger effort to meet the goals of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The collected information includes shrimp fishers’ revenues, costs, and investments, which will be used to analyze their response to federal regulations. The deadline for submitting comments is May 19, 2025, and the data will be gathered via a mail survey to about 650 participants.

    Simple Explanation

    The Commerce Department wants to know what people think about asking shrimp fishers in certain areas questions about their money and business. They want this information to help understand how rules affect them, but they aren't sure how it will help the fishers directly or keep their answers safe.

    The Department of Commerce is proposing to continue its information collection via the Business Trends and Outlook Survey (BTOS). This survey helps gather detailed, frequent, and timely data on U.S. economic conditions and trends. With a target of 795,000 respondents, the survey will be conducted biweekly and seeks to include more multi-unit businesses for comprehensive economic representation. The department is also revising the survey to focus on core questions and plans to extend it for another three years, along with a possibility of including updated questions on artificial intelligence. Public comments are invited within 30 days on the proposed collection.

    Simple Explanation

    The government wants to keep asking lots of businesses questions every two weeks to see how the economy is doing, like how you'd check up on your plants to make sure they're growing. They're changing the questions a bit and might ask new ones about robots and computers, and people can tell them what they think about this plan.
