Abstract: This request is for an extension without revision of the Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) vessel logbooks and cost-earnings reports information collection. The burden and cost estimates have been updated to reflect minor changes in the number of permit holders, and hourly labor costs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Otherwise, there have been no programmatic changes to this information collection. This information collection provides essential data on HMS fishing effort, catch, and economic data that is essential to the continued management of these fisheries. The legislative authorities to collect data from the various sectors of the economy that harvest marine resources in the exclusive economic zone are the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). Under this dual authority, the Secretary of Commerce has promulgated rules that require specific types of record keeping and data submissions. HMS are species that travel long distances and often cross domestic and international boundaries. NOAA Fisheries manages HMS fisheries—tunas, sharks, swordfish, and billfish—in U.S. Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of America, and Caribbean waters.
