Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will
submit to the Office of Management and

following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Title: Gulf of Mexico Electronic
Logbook.

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) authorizes the
Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management
Council (Council) to prepare and amend
fishery management plans for any
fishery in waters under its jurisdiction.

(NMFS) manages the shrimp fishery in
the waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf)
under the Shrimp Fishery Management
Plan (FMP). The electronic logbook
(ELB) regulations for the Gulf shrimp
fishery may be found at 50 CFR
622.5(a)(iii).
There are currently approximately
1,563 permitted vessels that harvest
shrimp from the Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ), and the Council estimates
that there are over 13,000 boats that fish
in state waters. With such a large
number of vessels of differing sizes,
gears used, and fishing capabilities
compounded by seasonal variability in
abundance and price and the broad
geographic distribution of the fleet,
ELBs provide a more precise means of
estimating the amount of fishing effort
than current methods. Using ELBs to
improve estimating fishing effort will
help improve estimating bycatch in the
Gulf shrimp fleet. In 2012, an additional
100 vessels will be selected for ELBs.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofitorganizations.
Frequency: One time and bimonthly.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
