the public’s reporting burden. Public
comments were previously requested
via the Federal Register on January 31,

contracts, observer information
materials, catch monitor provider
contracts, and catch monitor
informational materials; 10 minutes for
certificate of insurance; 7 minutes for
catch monitor training/briefing
registration, notification of catch
monitor physical examination, and
catch monitor debriefing registration.
For vessels: 10 minutes for fishing
departure reports and cease-fishing

Total Annual Burden Hours: 620
hours.
Needs and Uses: This is a request for
extension of an approved information
collection. In 2011, the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) mandated
observer requirements for the West
Coast groundfish trawl catch shares
program. For all fishery sectors,
observers must be obtained through
third-party observer provider companies
operating under permits issued by
NMFS. The regulations at §§ 660.140(h),
660.150(j), and 660.160(g), specify
observer coverage requirements for
trawl vessels and define the
responsibilities for observer providers,
including reporting requirements.
Regulations at § 660.140(i) specify
requirements for catch monitor coverage
for first receivers. Data collected by
observers are used by NMFS to estimate
total landed catch and discards, monitor
the attainment of annual groundfish
allocations, estimate catch rates of
prohibited species, and as a component
in stock assessments. These data are
necessary to comply with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act requirements to
prevent overfishing. In addition,
observer data is used to assess fishing
related mortality of protected and
endangered species.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations.
Frequency: Reporting on occasion,
weekly, or yearly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: The regulations at
§§ 660.140(h), 660.150(j), and
660.160(g), specify observer coverage
requirements for trawl vessels and
define the responsibilities for observer
providers, including reporting
requirements. Regulations at
§ 660.140(i) specify requirements for
catch monitor coverage for first
receivers.
