PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT INFORMATION
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as follows: 10 minutes for the WP squid jig fishing log. The burden includes time for
reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send

This information is being collected to ensure accurate and timely records about the persons licensed to participate in fisheries under Federal
regulations in the Western Pacific Region. This will enable NMFS and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council to (a) determine
who would be affected by changes in management; (b) inform license holders of changes in fishery regulations; and (c) determine whether
the objectives of the fishery program are being achieved by monitoring entry and exit patterns and other aspects of the fisheries. The
information is used in analyzing and evaluating the potential impacts of regulatory changes on persons in the regulated fisheries as well as
in related fisheries. Responses to the collection are required to obtain the benefit of a license for the fishery involved (ref. 50 CFR 665.13).
Data provided concerning the vessel and/or businesses 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.
