This is a request for extension of a
current information collection. The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act requires that conservation and
management measures must prevent over fishing while achieving, on a
continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery. These
measures must be based on the best scientific information
available. The use of a web form based collection system
(FishOnline) and vessel trip reports (VTR, or 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),
and the Greater Atlantic Regional Fisheries Office (GARFO) obtains
much of this data through FishOnline, VTR, and vessel monitoring
system (VMS) (which is approved under the 0648-0202 information
collection) data.
