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 be 25 minutes for the WP pelagic squid jig fishing log,
including the time for reviewing instructions, 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,
National Marine Fisheries Service, Pacific Islands Region, 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 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 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 Western Pacific pelagic squid jig 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)

NOAA Inouye Regional Center
