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 (also known as fishery ecosystem plans).

Routine Uses: The Department will use this information for effective fishery management. Disclosure of this information is permitted within NMFS offices under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) to coordinate monitoring and management 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 COMMERCE/NOAA-6: Fishermen's Statistical Data.

Disclosure: Submission is mandatory for those persons falling under the requirements of 50 CFR 665.14. If the information is not provided, permit status may be affected.

Paperwork Reduction Act Information:

A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with an information collection subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 unless the information collection has a currently valid OMB Control Number. The approved OMB Control Number for this information collection is 0648-0577. Without this approval, we could not conduct this information collection. Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to be approximately 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 information collection. All responses to this information collection are mandatory pursuant to 50 CFR 665.14. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this information collection, including suggestions for reducing this burden to the NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Office at [email protected].

   • Area Fished – using the Area Code charts provided with the logbook, enter the code for the area you are fishing.

   • 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 bottomfishing 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.
