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 average 30 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, Hawaii 96818.
This information is being collected to provide information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor bottomfish management unit species
under the Fishery Ecosystem Plan (FEP) for the Mariana Archipelago and to evaluate the effectiveness of management by assessing the
status of stocks and the status of the fisheries. The information will provide a basis for determining whether changes in management are
needed to sustain the productivity of the stocks or to respond to interactions between fishing vessels and protected species and to address
economic problems in the fishery. The information also is used to provide a basis for evaluating the magnitude and distribution of impacts
resulting from changes to the regulations. Responses to the collection are required under 50 CFR 665.14. Propriety data provided
concerning the vessel and/or 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 bottomfish 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. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14)
Submit log report to:
NOAA Inouye Regional Center
NMFS/PIFSC/Fishery Monitoring Branch
1845 Wasp Blvd., Building 176
