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, NMFS Pacific Islands Region,
1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu, HI 96818.
This information is being collected to provide the information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor the coral reef
fisheries and resources managed under Fishery Ecosystem Plans (FEP) for American Samoa, Mariana Archipelago, Hawaiian
Archipelago, and Pacific Remote Island Areas Federally permitted coral reef fisheries and to evaluate the effectiveness of
management by assessing the status of stocks and the status of the fisheries. The information provides 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
is also 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 to obtain the benefit of the FEPs (50 CFR Part 665). 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 provisions 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.

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 overfishing 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.
