This request is for a revision of a current information collection pursuant to proposed rule 0648-BJ26 which would implement a new logbook requirement for vessels using deep-set buoy gear (DSBG). United States (U.S.) fishermen participating in the Pacific highly migratory species (HMS) fishery, are required to obtain a HMS Fishery Management Plan (FMP) permit. A requirement for the permit is to complete and submit logbooks documenting their daily fishing activities, including catch and effort for each fishing trip. Submissions must be made within 30 days of the completion of a trip. The information obtained is used by the agency to assess the status of Pacific HMS stocks and to monitor the fishery. The agency also provides an electronic alternative to the hard copy form. Use of this electronic logbook is voluntary.
US Code:
16 USC 75
Name of Law: High Seas Fishing Compliance Act
