Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 20 / Tuesday, February 2, 2021 / Notices

Agency: National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
Title: Southeast Region Logbook
Family of Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0016.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular
submission—extension and revision of a
current information collection.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,971.
Estimated Time per Response: Annual
fixed-cost report, 45 minutes;
Colombian fishery logbook, 18 minutes;
discard logbook, 15 minutes; headboat,
charter vessel, golden crab, reef fishmackerel, economic cost per trip,
wreckfish, and shrimp logbooks, 10
minutes; no-fishing report for golden
crab, reef fish-mackerel, charter vessels,
wreckfish and Colombian fisheries, 2
minutes; installation of a vessel
monitoring unit, 5 hours; landing
location request and power-down
exemption request, 5 minutes; trip
declaration, 2 minutes; and the
proposed intercept survey, 15 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 69,165.
Needs and Uses: This request is for an
extension and revision of a current
information collection.
Participants in most federally
managed fisheries in the NMFS
Southeast Region are currently required
to keep and submit catch and effort
logbooks from their fishing trips. A
subset of fishermen on these vessels also
provide information on the species and
quantities of fish, shellfish, marine
turtles, and marine mammals that are
caught and discarded or have interacted
with the fishing gear. A subset of
fishermen on these vessels also provide
information about dockside fish and
fuel 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 existing and proposed
regulations.
A final rule that implements
requirements under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) will require a
vessel owner or operator with a Federal
charter vessel/headboat permit for Gulf
of Mexico (Gulf) reef fish or Gulf coastal
migratory pelagic (CMP) species to

submit an electronic fishing report (also
referred to as an electronic logbook) for
each fishing trip (85 FR 44005, July 21,
2020). NMFS is designing and plans to
implement an intercept survey in 2021
to support and validate the electronic
logbooks submitted for the Gulf for-hire
reporting program. These survey data
are required to carry out provisions of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq.), as amended, regarding
conservation and management of fishery
resources.
The survey would intercept captains
(respondents) of Gulf federallypermitted charter vessels and headboats
(for-hire vessels) in the aforementioned
fisheries at verified landing locations
that are randomly selected in Gulf
counties to obtain information after
fishing activity for each trip has
occurred. The intercept survey is not a
census of all electronically reported
logbooks but instead would use a
stratified random sampling protocol to
select landing locations for port
samplers to gather a representative
sample. Respondents would be asked
about vessel information, time and type
of fishing, the number of anglers, and
details of catch. Catch information
would include species identification,
number of fish, and disposition (i.e., fish
kept and released). Length and weight
measurements of species retained on
fishing trips may also be collected if
circumstances allow.
The purpose of the intercept survey is
to validate the electronic logbooks
submitted through the Gulf for-hire
reporting program, the information
collection for which are approved under
OMB Control Number 0648–0016. The
data collected from the intercept survey
would be used to estimate non-reporting
of fishing trips and reporting errors.
Data from the intercept survey would be
analyzed through statistical methods to
provide accurate estimates of the total
catch and effort. Without the intercept
survey, the electronic logbook results
would be left unchecked and could be
erroneous due to no adjustments for
non-reporting and misreporting.
Erroneous fisheries information could
mislead management and lead to
inappropriate or unnecessary
regulations or lead to lack thereof when
needed.
The total for-hire catch and effort
estimates obtained from the intercept
survey, as well as from the Gulf for-hire
reporting program are intended to be
used on an ongoing basis by NMFS,
regional fishery management councils,
interstate marine fisheries commissions,
and state natural resource management
agencies to develop, implement, and
monitor fishery management programs,

per statutory requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. Catch and effort
statistics are fundamental for assessing
the influence of fishing on any fish
stock. Accurate estimates of the
quantities taken, fishing effort, and both
the seasonal and geographic
distributions of the catch and effort are
required for the development of regional
management plans and policies.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit organizations; individuals.
Frequency: Annual, periodic, and as
needed.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
This information collection request
may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view the
Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/

particular information collection by
