Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as 5 minutes 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
Regional Office, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu, HI 96818.
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 Pacific Islands 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.

Vessel Reporting Requirement
The operator of any fishing vessel holding a current Pacific Islands Federal precious coral permit must submit an accurate
and complete sales report to the National Marine Fisheries Service on a form provided by the Regional Administrator within
72 hours of each landing of management unit species, except for fishing in the Pacific Remote Islands Areas, where it is
required that the forms be submitted within 30 days of the end of each fishing trip. The form must be signed and dated by the
fishing vessel operator. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14)
Upon request any first level buyer must allow an authorized officer of the National Marine Fisheries Service or designee of the
Regional Administrator to access, inspect, and copy all records relating to the harvest, sale, or transfer of any product taken by a
vessel that has permits issued under 50 CFR 665.162, 665.262, 665.462, or 665.662.
