PUBLIC REPORTING BURDEN STATEMENT
Public reporting burden for this logsheet is estimated to average 50 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing the 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 the burden, to: Assistant
Regional Administrator, Sustainable Fisheries Division, NMFS Alaska Region, P.O. Box 21668, Juneau, AK 99802-1668.
PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq. The MagnusonStevens 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). 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. Submission is
mandatory for those persons falling under the requirements of 50 CFR 679.5. If the information is not provided, enforcement action may result.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Before completing this form please note the following: 1) 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. 2) This information is mandatory and is required to manage commercial fishing effort in the GOA and
BSAI under 50 CFR 679 and under 402(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1801, et seq.); 3) Responses to this information request are confidential under
section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act as amended in 2006. It is also confidential under NOAA Administrative Order 216-100, which sets forth procedures to
protect confidentiality of fishery statistics.
