eLandings, the data entry component of IERS, is used as a single reporting system for commercial harvest and production of groundfish, Pacific halibut, and CR crab. With this action, all catcher/processors and motherships will no longer use a paper logbook but must use a combination of electronic logbook (eLog) and eLandings. This change will increase the speed and accuracy of data transmission to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and will assist in accurate quota monitoring. A mothership and 2 catcher/processor eLogs are added to this collection from OMB Control No. 0648-0213, to be used instead of a paper logbook. An eLog for both catcher vessel trawl and catcher vessel longline and pot are now available and may be used voluntarily. This action requires a catcher/processor or mothership to use the eLog to electronically capture the daily flow scale tests – which formerly were recorded on paper.
