Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 5 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this
burden, to Regional Administrator, Pacific Islands Region, NMFS, 1601 Kapiolani Blvd., Suite 1110, Honolulu, HI 96814.
This information is being collected to provide information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor bottomfish management unit species
under the Fishery Management Plan for Bottomfish in the Western Pacific Region (FMP) and to evaluate the effectiveness of management
by assessing the status of stocks and the status of the fisheries. The information will provide a basis for determining whether changes in
management are need to sustain the productivity of the stocks or to respond to interactions between fishing vessels and protected species
and to address economic problems in the fishery. The information is also used to provide a basis for evaluating the magnitude and
distribution of impacts resulting from changes to the regulations. Responses to the collection are required under 50 CFR 665.14. Propriety
data provided concerning the vessel and/or business of the respondents are handled as confidential under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (Sec. 402(b)). Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor
shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
