I. Abstract
This request is for revision and
extension of a current information
collection. Under the provisions of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration’s (NOAA) National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
responsible for management of the
nation’s marine fisheries. In addition,
NMFS must comply with the Atlantic
Tunas Convention Act of 1975 (16
U.S.C. 971 et seq.), under which the
agency implements recommendations
by the International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT),
as necessary and appropriate.
This information collection is being
revised to include modified trip
summary and cost-earnings logbook
forms for the Atlantic Tunas General
Category, Swordfish General
Commercial, and Atlantic Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/
Headboat fisheries. Reporting burden
associated with logbooks for the
Atlantic Tunas General Category and
HMS Charter/Headboat fisheries has
been authorized under previous
versions of this information collection,
but the reporting burden associated with
the Swordfish General Commercial
permit is new as it was implemented
only in 2014, and the category has not
previously been selected for logbook
reporting.
NMFS collects information via vessel
logbooks to monitor the U.S. catch of
Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and
tunas in relation to the quotas, thereby
ensuring that the United States complies
with its domestic and international
obligations. The HMS logbook program,
OMB Control No. 0648–0371, was
specifically designed to collect the
vessel level information needed for the
management of Atlantic HMS, and
includes set forms, trip forms, negative
reports, and cost-earning requirements

for both commercial and recreational
vessels. The information supplied
through the HMS logbook program
provides the catch and effort data on a
per-set or per-trip level of resolution for
both directed and incidental species. In
addition to HMS fisheries, the HMS
logbook program is also used to report
catches of dolphin and wahoo by
commercial and charter/headboat
fisheries by vessels that do not possess
other federal permits. Additionally, the
HMS logbook collects data on incidental
species, including sea turtles, which is
necessary to evaluate the fisheries in
terms of bycatch and encounters with
protected species. While most HMS
fishermen use the HMS logbook
program, HMS can also be reported as
part of several other logbook collections
including the Northeast Region Fishing
Vessel Trip Reports (0648–0212) and
Southeast Region Coastal Logbook
(0648–0016).
These data are necessary to assess the
status of HMS, dolphin, and wahoo in
each fishery. International stock
assessments for tunas, swordfish,
billfish, and some species of sharks are
conducted through ICCAT’s Standing
Committee on Research and Statistics
periodically and provide, in part, the
basis for ICCAT management
recommendations which become
binding on member nations. Domestic
stock assessments for most species of
sharks and for dolphin and wahoo are
used as the basis of managing these
species.
Supplementary information on fishing
costs and earnings has been collected
via the HMS logbook program. This
economic information enables NMFS to
assess the economic impacts of
regulatory programs on small businesses
and fishing communities, consistent
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), Executive Order 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and other
domestic laws.
II. Method of Collection
Paper logbooks are the primary mode
of reporting, but electronic logbooks
will be offered on a voluntary basis for
the HMS logbook in the near future.
Both online and paper reporting options
will likely be offered for the Atlantic
Tunas General Category, Atlantic HMS
Charter/Headboat, and Swordfish
General Commercial logbooks.
III. Data

OMB Control Number: 0648–0441.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 201.
Average Hours per Response: 4 hours
for installation or replacement of a VMS
unit; 2 hours for annual maintenance.
Burden Hours: 170.
Needs and Uses: This request is for
extension of a currently approved
information collection.
As part of fishery management plans
developed under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act,
owners of commercial fishing vessels in
the Hawaii pelagic longline fishery,
American Samoa pelagic longline
fishery (only vessels longer than 50
feet), Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
lobster fishery (currently inactive), and
Northern Mariana Islands bottomfish
fishery (only vessels longer than 40 feet)
must allow the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to
install vessel monitoring system (VMS)
units on their vessels when directed to
do so by NOAA enforcement personnel.
VMS units automatically send periodic
reports on the position of the vessel.
NOAA uses the reports to monitor the
vessel’s location and activities,
primarily to enforce regulated fishing
areas. NOAA pays for the units and
messaging. There is no public burden
for the automatic messaging; however,
VMS installation and annual
maintenance are considered public
burden.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: One time, annually and
hourly (passive reporting).
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.

the instructions to view Department of
Commerce collections currently under

Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and

Title: Reporting Requirements for the
Ocean Salmon Fishery off the Coasts of
Washington, Oregon, and California.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0433.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of
a currently approved information
collection).
Number of Respondents: 40.
Average Hours per Response: 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 10.
Needs and Uses: Based on the
management regime specified each year,
designated regulatory areas in the
commercial ocean salmon fishery off the
coasts of Washington, Oregon, and
California may be managed by
numerical quotas. To accurately assess
catches relative to quota attainment
during the fishing season, catch data by
regulatory area must be collected in a
timely manner. Requirements to land
salmon within specific time frames and
in specific areas may be implemented in
the preseason regulations to aid in
timely and accurate catch accounting for
a regulatory area. State landing systems
normally gather the data at the time of
landing. If unsafe weather conditions or
mechanical problems prevent
compliance with landing requirements,
fishermen need an alternative to allow
for a safe response. Fishermen would be
exempt from landing requirements if the
appropriate notifications are made to
provide the name of the vessel, the port
where delivery will be made, the
approximate amount of salmon (by
species) on board, and the estimated
time of arrival.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
