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 as 10 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 Requirement
The operator of any fishing vessel holding a current Pacific Islands Federal precious coral permit must submit an accurate and complete sales report
to the National Marine Fisheries Service on a form provided by the Regional Administrator 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 within 30 days of the end of each
fishing trip. The form must be signed and dated by the fishing vessel operator. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14). Upon request any first level buyer must allow an
