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 to as much as 15 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, Pacific Islands Regional Office, National Marine Fisheries Service, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu, HI 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 these 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 and 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). 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 precious coral 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)

Submit log report to: NOAA Inouye Regional Center (IRC), NMFS/PIFSC/Fishery Monitoring Branch, 1845 Wasp
Blvd., Bldg 176, Honolulu, HI 96818. For additional logbooks or information call (808) 725-5325.
