I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council (Council) to prepare and amend
fishery management plans for any
fishery in waters under its jurisdiction.
NMFS manages the shrimp fishery in
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf)
under the Fishery Management Plan for
the Shrimp Fishery of the Gulf. The
electronic logbook (ELB) regulations for
the Gulf shrimp fishery may be found at
50 CFR 622.51(a)(2).
As of August 25, 2016, there are
approximately 1,445 valid or renewable
Federal permits to harvest shrimp from
the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in
the Gulf. Monitoring shrimp vessels,
operating together with many other
fishing vessels of differing sizes, gears
types used, and fishing capabilities, is
made even more challenging by
seasonal variability in shrimp
abundance and price, and the broad
geographic distribution of the fleet.
ELBs provide a precise means of
estimating the amount of shrimp fishing
effort. Using ELBs to estimate fishing
effort serves an important role to help
estimate bycatch in the Gulf shrimp
fleet.
II. Method of Collection
The current electronic logbook unit
automatically collects fishing effort data
and transmits those data via a cellular
phone connection activated when the
vessel is within non-roaming cellular
range.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0543.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular (extension of
a current information collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,445.
Estimated Time per Response: 6
hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,132.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $404,600.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the

proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
Dated: October 3, 2016.
