Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)
which analyzes the potential
environmental impacts of the
implementation of projects that foster
the promotion, marketing, research, and
development of U.S. Fisheries and their
associated fishing sectors, as consistent
with NOAA’s Saltonstall-Kennedy
Research and Development Program (S–
K Program). The focus of this action is
on activities and projects under the S–
K Program, which interfaces with
numerous programs within NOAA, and
it is NOAA’s intention that this PEIS
may also cover those activities and
projects implemented by other NOAA
programs and offices that are consistent
with the scope of the S–K Program. In
preparing the Final PEIS, NOAA has
considered public comments received
on the Draft PEIS, which was published
in April 2022.
DATES: NOAA will publish a Record of
Decision no sooner than 30 days after
publication of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency’s Notice of
Availability for this Final PEIS on the
S–K website.
ADDRESSES: The Final PEIS is available
at the NOAA website at the following
link: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cliff
Cosgrove, Saltonstall-Kennedy Program
Manager, telephone: (301–427–8736);

Program website: https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/content/
saltonstall-kennedy-research-anddevelopment-program.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Final
PEIS was developed to identify and
evaluate the general impacts, issues and
concerns related to the implementation
of the types of projects that are
consistent with the scope of the S–K
Program. The S–K Program funds
projects that address the needs of
fishing communities, optimize
economic benefits by building and
maintaining sustainable fisheries (where
the term ‘‘fisheries’’ includes
commercial wild capture, recreational
fishing, cultural and subsistence fishing,
and marine aquaculture), and increase
other opportunities to keep working
waterfronts viable. The PEIS will be
used to support site- and projectspecific National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) reviews, as necessary. The
PEIS addresses all of the priorities and
their associated project types that the S–
K Program has funded since 2010,
which cover the range of priorities and
project types that fall under the S–K
Program. The affected environment
associated with the proposed action

includes all marine, estuarine, and
coastal habitats in the United States and
territories. It also includes freshwater
interior habitats that influence or affect
rivers, streams, and creeks affecting
marine or estuarine waters, or that
support migratory fish populations. It
may also include adjacent or continuous
habitats in Canada or Mexico that
support living coastal and marine
resources under NOAA trusteeship.
The Final PEIS considers comments
made on the Draft PEIS that officially
began on May 13, 2022 and ended on
June 27, 2022. Based on the information
provided in the Final PEIS, NOAA has
identified the continued operation and
active management for Promotion,
Marketing, Research, and Development
of the S–K Program as the preferred
alternative.
This notice initiates a public review
period for the Final PEIS. For more
information about the S–K Program,
please use the link provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
Authority: This PEIS was prepared
under the authority of, and in
accordance with, the requirements of
NEPA, implementing regulations
published by the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1500–
1508), other applicable regulations, and
NOAA’s policies and procedures for
compliance with those regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
This request is for extension without
revision of a current information
collection (ICR). This request is being
submitted early in anticipation of a
proposed rulemaking that will modify
the reporting requirements but will not
be finalized before the current ICR
expiration date. Under the provisions of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act (16
U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), the NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) is responsible for management
of the nation’s marine fisheries. In
addition, NMFS must comply with the
Atlantic Tunas Convention Act of 1975
(16 U.S.C. 971 et seq.), under which the
agency implements binding
recommendations by the International
Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT).
NMFS collects information via vessel
logbooks to monitor the U.S. catch of
Atlantic swordfish, sharks, billfish, and
tunas in relation to the quotas, thereby
ensuring that the United States complies
with its domestic and international
obligations. The Highly Migratory
Species (HMS) logbook program, OMB
Control No. 0648–0371, was specifically
designed to collect the vessel-level
information needed for the management
of Atlantic HMS, and includes set
forms, trip forms, negative reports, and
cost-earning requirements for both
commercial and recreational vessels.

The information supplied through the
HMS logbook program provides the
catch and effort data on a per-set or pertrip level of resolution for both directed
and incidental species. In addition to
HMS fisheries, the HMS logbook
program is also used to report catches of
dolphin and wahoo by commercial
permit holders that do not hold any
other federal permits. Additionally, the
HMS logbook collects data on incidental
species, such as sea turtles, which is
necessary to evaluate the fisheries in
terms of bycatch and encounters with
protected species. While most HMS
fishermen use the HMS logbook
program, HMS can also be reported as
part of several other logbook collections
including the Northeast Region Fishing
Vessel Trip Reports (0648–0212) and
Southeast Region Coastal Logbook
(0648–0016).
These data are necessary to assess the
status of HMS, dolphin, and wahoo in
each fishery. International stock
assessments for tunas, swordfish,
billfish, and some species of sharks are
conducted through ICCAT’s Standing
Committee on Research and Statistics
periodically and provide, in part, the
basis for ICCAT management
recommendations, which become
binding on member nations. Domestic
stock assessments for most species of
sharks and for dolphin and wahoo are
used as the basis of managing these
species.
Supplementary information on fishing
costs and earnings has been collected
via the HMS logbook program. This
economic information enables NMFS to
assess the economic impacts of
regulatory programs on small businesses
and fishing communities, consistent
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), Executive Order 12866, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, and other
domestic laws.
II. Method of Collection
Paper logbooks have historically been
the primary mode of reporting, but
electronic logbooks, including mobile
applications, will be offered on a
voluntary basis for the HMS logbook in
the near future.
