Privacy Act Statement:
Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq.
Purpose: The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that conservation and management measures must prevent over fishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery. Vessel
logbooks are essential tools in the management of fishery resources. Section 303(a)(5) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act specifically identifies the kinds of data to be collected for fishery management plans
(FMPs).
Routine Uses: The Department will use this information for effective fishery management. Disclosure of this information is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a), to be shared
within NMFS offices, in order to coordinate monitoring and management of sustainability of fisheries and protected resources, as well as with the applicable State or Regional Marine Fisheries
Commissions and International Organizations.
Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in the COMMERCE/NOAA-6, Fishermen's Statistical Data.
Disclosure: Submission is mandatory for those persons falling under the requirements of 50 CFR 648.7 (b). If the information is not provided, permit status may be affected.
Paperwork Reduction Act Information:
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 20 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 NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu, HI 96818.
This information is being collected to provide information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor bottomfish management unit species under the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for the Hawaiian Archipelago
and to evaluate the effectiveness of management by assessing the status of stocks and the status of the fisheries. The information will provide a basis for determining whether changes in management
are needed to sustain the productivity of the stocks or to respond to interactions between fishing vessels and protected species and to address economic problems in the fishery. The information is also
used to provide a basis for evaluating the magnitude and distribution of impacts resulting from changes to the regulations. Responses to the collection are required under 50 CFR 665.14. Proprietary data
provided concerning the vessel and/or 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.

Catch and Effort Table – the section with the grids is where you write in your fishing activity.
 Day – write in the day of the month (1 to 31) for the fishing effort that day.
 Area Fished – using the Area Code charts provided with the logbook, enter the code for the area you are fishing. If fishing at FADs, list each separately.
 Position - Enter the latitude and longitude to the nearest degree (˚) and minute (‘) of the first drop that you make in any area. If you move to a new area start a new line.
 Depth Fished - Write the depth (in fathoms) that you fished your lines.
 Fishing Method - Write in the Fishing Method name or code for your fishing method using the code list provided.
 Num. Hours - Write the number of hours fished by that method in that area on that day.
 Num. Lines - Write the average number of lines used for that method on that day.
 Anch. Y/N - Write “Y” or “N” to indicate if you anchored while you fished. Blanks indicate “N”.
 Did Not Catch - If you did not catch any fish in the area you fished on that day, please put a checkmark () in the Did Not Catch box.
 Species Name - Write in the name of the fish you caught using the Species List provided, one species per line.
 Num. Kept - Write in the number of fish of that species you caught and kept (even if you used it for bait later). Use a line for each species.
 Lbs. Kept - Write in the estimated weight of the fish kept of each species. Use a line for each species.
 Num. Released - If you released any of the fish you caught, identify the species and write in the number you released Alive or Dead. This number should be separate
from those “caught and kept”.
 Num. Lost - If you lost any fish of this species due to sharks or other predators, please mark the number in Num. Lost.
 Therefore, number of (caught and kept)+(released alive)+(released dead)+(lost)=total catch.
9. When the day, area (location), fishing method, or species changes, please start a new line in the table. If you run out of lines, please use another page and mark the page
number on the bottom right of the page where it says “Page ___ of ___”, so we know how many pages were used for each trip.
10. If you directly interact with any marine mammal, turtle, or seabird on your trip, please write in the species name and the number that were uninjured, injured, or dead as a
result of the fishing operation using the protected species list provided.
11. Write in the Federal MHI Non-commercial Bottomfish Permit (NCBF) or State of Hawaii Commercial Marine License (CML) numbers of all persons fishing with you (Crew)
on this trip. Each person participating on the trip is required to have a NCBF permit or CML. Check the box () following the permit numbers if the number you wrote
is a CML number.
12. Sign and date the logsheet at the bottom and submit within 72 hours (3 days) after the end of each trip. Your signature signifies that the information you provided is complete
and true to the best of your knowledge. If the vessel operator fails to submit a logsheet, it is the vessel owner’s responsibility to submit the logsheet. It is a violation of federal
law to file false information or fail to make, keep, maintain or submit a logbook (50 CFR ' 665.15(d)).
