Abstract: Fishermen in Federally-managed fisheries in the western Pacific region are required to provide certain information about their fishing activities. These data are needed to determine the condition of the stocks and whether the current management measures are having the intended effects, to evaluate the benefits and costs of changes in management measures, and to monitor and respond to accidental takes of endangered and threatened species, including seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. This request is for logbook reporting in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), for bottomfish and seamount groundfish fisheries, as well as sales reports for medium and large commercial bottomfish vessels in the CNMI.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: Program Changes: Observer notifications and meetings formerly covered by this submittal are now covered under a separate collection, OMB Control No. 0648-0593. As a result, responses were reduced by 22,168; hours, by 504, and recordkeeping/reporting costs, by $748. Further reductions of 7,590 responses, 3,795 hours and $4,000 resulted from Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Commercial Bottomfish information collections now being under OMB Control No. 0648-0584, Permitting and Vessel Identification Requirements for the Commercial Bottomfish Fishery in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Adjustments: All other estimates of respondents, responses, and burden hours were updated and recalculated based on the previous calendar year's report submissions. This resulted in a net addition of 2,867 responses and a net increase of 12,845 hours. Costs increased by $1,000, due to increases in postage and communication costs.
