SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
This is a request for a new collection
of information.
NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries
Science Center (NEFSC) will collaborate
with regional harvesters to self-collect
high resolution effort and catch fishery
dependent data electronically using the
Fisheries Logbook Data Recording
Software (FLDRS), developed by the
NEFSC. For trip level, this includes
information such as sail date, trip end
date, crew size, port landed. For haul
level, this includes information such as
date/time and location of every effort,
details on gear used, catch (species and
species’ weight) for kept and discard of
every effort. The FLDRS software is
installed on a laptop which is dedicated
to the data collection effort. FLDRS has
the ability to collect data at the subtrip
level, which can be used to satisfy
Federal electronic vessel trip reporting,
and at a higher resolution haul level,
which is used by various Cooperative
Research Branch programs and projects
without the data needing to be collected
more than once.
Respondents will be asked to sign a
one page data waiver that documents
the respondent agreement to the release
of the data they collect to the Northeast
Fisheries Science Center Cooperative
Research Branch.
The data collected will provide
scientists with more precise and
accurate fishery-dependent data than is
collected on mandatory Federal Vessel
Trip Reports (VTRs).
Collection of information about
commercial fisheries is necessary to
fulfill the statutory requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation
and Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et
seq.). By collecting this high resolution,
fine scale spatial and temporal fishery
dependent data we are improving the
data available to support improved
understanding of population,
ecosystem, and fishery dynamics in the
northeast region. These improved
understandings help the Northeast
Fisheries Science Center conduct
accurate stock assessments and inform
fisheries management, which is
essential to achieve the standards laid
out in the Magnuson Stevens Act.
By collecting fine scale spatial and
temporal fisheries information, fishers
provide scientists with data from areas
and seasons that are not sampled by
Federal and state surveys. This fishery
dependent data can be used with fishery
independent data to improve species
mapping. Fishery dependent data catch
per unit effort (CPUE) calculations can

PO 00000

Frm 00024

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

59999

be standardized and integrated into
stock assessment models as indices of
abundance. Collecting this fine scale
commercial fisheries data also helps
scientists understand patterns in fishing
effort and relationships between catch
and variables such as time of day,
location, temperature, and depth.
II. Method of Collection
The data waiver can either be
returned via email, fax or the postal
service. The fishery dependent high
resolution catch and effort data
collection will be self-collected
electronically by commercial harvesters
using the Fisheries Logbook Data
Recording Software (FLDRS).
III. Data
OMB Control Number: 0648–XXXX.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Review: Regular submission:
New information collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
39.
Estimated Time per Response: Data
Waiver: 6 minutes; High Resolution
Catch and Effort Data Collection: 35
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 892 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $39,025.74.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act.
IV. Request for Comments
We are soliciting public comments to
permit the Department/Bureau to: (a)
Evaluate whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for
the proper functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) Evaluate the
accuracy of our estimate of the time and
cost burden for this proposed collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Evaluate ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Minimize the
reporting burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
