PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT: Atlantic highly migratory species charter headboat vessel logbooks provide information on fishing
effort and catch and bycatch in the charter headboat fisheries for tunas, sharks, billfish, and swordfish. This information is the basis for quota monitoring
and stock assessment and is used to meet international obligations to report fishery statistics to the International Commission for the Conservation of
Atlantic Tunas. Collection of economic information through vessel logbooks provides current data on the costs and earnings for vessels participating
in the Atlantic highly migratory species fisheries and aids NMFS in the assessment of impacts of fishery regulations. Public reporting burden for this
information collection, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining data needed, and completed
and reviewing the collection of information, is estimated to average: 12 minutes per response for the catch form (daily report); and 30 minutes per response
for the trip expense and earnings summary. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: National Marine Fisheries Service, F/SF1, 1315 East West Highway, Silver Spring MD 20910. In accordance with
NOAA Administrative Order 216-100, it is agency policy not to release confidential information, other than in aggregate form. 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. This is
an approved information collection under OMB #0648-0371 that expires February 29, 2024.
