This data collection requires the
submission and preparation of logbooks and reports on the Pacific
Coast Groundfish fishery from processing vessels larger than 125
feet in length and from catcher vessels that deliver to them. The
information is necessary to monitor catch, effort, and production
for fishery management purposes. This request is to make minor
changes to the declaration reports under OMB Control No. 0648-0271.
The requested change will remove the requirements for the following
forms: X Daily fishing and cumulative production logbook (for
catcher vessels and catcher-processors). X Daily report of fish
received and cumulative production logbook (motherships) X Weekly
production report (catcher-processors and motherships only) X
Product transfer/offloading logbook These forms are no longer
needed because under the Trawl Rationalization program (the
information collection titled ¡§Northwest Region Groundfish Trawl
Fishery Monitoring and Catch Accounting Program¡¨, pending OMB
approval), the information previously reported on these forms will
now be required to be reported electronically.

remaining. 936 fewer hours, with 1 hour remaining. $1,575 less
in recordkeeping/reporting costs, with $660 remaining.
