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 665.14. If the
information is not provided, permit status may be affected.
Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated at 5 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 Regional Administrator, NMFS Pacific Islands Region, Pacific Islands
Regional Office, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1845 Wasp Blvd. Bldg. 176, Honolulu, Hawaii 96818.
This information is being collected to ensure accurate and timely records about the fishing activity of persons licensed to participate in
fisheries under Federal regulations in the Pacific Islands region. This will enable the National Marine Fisheries Service and the Western
Pacific Fishery Management Council to (a) determine how those persons would be affected by changes in management; (b) ensure that
they are informed about prospective changes in fishery regulations and the analysis of estimated impacts; and (c) determine whether
the objectives of the fishery program are being achieved by monitoring the fishery and evaluating the impacts on stocks, the fishery
participants, and related businesses. Responses to the collection are required to obtain the benefit of a license for the fishery involved
(ref. 50 CFR 665.13 and 665.14). Data provided concerning the activities and 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.

Vessel Reporting Requirements
The operator of any fishing vessel operating under a Federal Pacific Islands Region lobster or shrimp permit must maintain onboard the
vessel an accurate and complete record of catch, effort, and other data on report forms provided by the Regional Administrator, and
must record the information on the forms within 24 hours after the completion of each fishing day. Each form must be signed and dated
by the fishing vessel operator. The original logbook form must be submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service within 72 hours of
each landing of management unit species, except for fishing in the Pacific Remote Islands Areas, where it is required that the forms be
submitted to the Regional Administrator within 30 days of the end of each fishing trip. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14)
