Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to as much as 7 minutes (log) to 5 minutes (sales
report) 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 ensure accurate and timely records about the fishing activity of
persons licensed to participate in fisheries under Federal regulations in the Western Pacific Region.
This will enable the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Western Pacific Fishery Management
Council to (a) determine how these persons would be affected by changes in management; (b) ensure
that they are informed about prospective changes in fishery regulations and the analysis of estimated
impacts; and (c) determine whether the objectives of the fishery program are being achieved by
monitoring the fishery and evaluating the impacts on stocks and the fishery participants and related
businesses. 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 activities and 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.
