collection).
Number of Respondents: 209.
Average Hours per Response: Program

management programs and 29 research
reserves and produces written findings
for each evaluation. OCM has access to
documents submitted in cooperative
agreement applications, performance
reports, and certain documentation
required by the CZMA and
implementing regulations. However,
additional information from each
coastal management program and
research reserve, as well as information
from the program and reserve partners
and stakeholders with whom each
works, is necessary to evaluate against
statutory and regulatory requirements.
Different information collection subsets
are necessary for (1) coastal
management programs (2) their partners
and stakeholders, (3) research reserves,
and (4) their partners and stakeholders.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; not-for-profit
institutions; state, local, or tribal

I. Abstract
This request is for extension of a
current information collection.
Participants in most federallymanaged fisheries in the NMFS
Southeast Region are currently required
to keep and submit catch and effort
logbooks from their fishing trips. A
subset of these vessels also provides
information on the species and

quantities of fish, shellfish, marine
turtles, and marine mammals that are
caught and discarded or have interacted
with the vessel’s fishing gear. A subset
of these vessels also provides
information about dockside prices, trip
operating costs, and annual fixed costs.
The data are used for scientific
analyses that support critical
conservation and management decisions
made by national and international
fishery management organizations.
Interaction reports are needed for
fishery management planning and to
help protect endangered species and
marine mammals. Price and cost data
will be used in analyses of the economic
effects of proposed regulations.
II. Method of Collection
The information is submitted on
paper forms and electronic
transmissions. Logbooks are completed
daily and submitted on either a by-trip,
weekly, or monthly basis, depending on
the fishery. Fixed costs are submitted on
an annual basis. Other information is
submitted on a trip basis.
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–0016.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission
(extension of a current information
collection).
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations; individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
5,603.
Estimated Time per Response: Annual
fixed-cost reports, 45 minutes;
Colombian fishery logbooks, 18
minutes; discard logbooks, 15 minutes;
headboat, charter vessels, golden crab,
reef fish-mackerel, economic cost per
trip, wreckfish, and shrimp logbooks, 10
minutes; no-fishing responses for golden
crab, reef fish-mackerel, charter vessels,
wreckfish and Colombian fisheries, 2
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 42,264.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
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
