Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to vary from 5 minutes to 2 hours per response, with
an average of about 35 minutes, 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, National Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Region, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg.
176, Honolulu, Hawaii 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 those 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
and 665.14). 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 Requirements
The operator of any fishing vessel operating under a Federal Pacific Islands Region longline permit must
maintain onboard the vessel an accurate and complete record of catch, effort, and other data on report
forms provided by the Regional Administrator, and must record the information on the forms within 24
hours after the completion of each fishing day. Each form must be signed and dated by the fishing vessel
operator. The original logbook form must be submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service within 72
hours of each landing of management unit species. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14)
Mail completed logs to:
NOAA Inouye Regional Center
Attn: NMFS/PIFSC/Fishery Monitoring Branch
1845 Wasp Boulevard, Building 176
Honolulu, Hawaii 96818
