Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Title: Pacific Islands Region Coral Reef Ecosystems Logbook and
Reporting.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0462.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved
information collection).
Number of Respondents: 5.
Average Hours per Response: Pre-trip and pre-landing notifications,
3 minutes; logbook reports, 30 minutes; transshipment reports, 15
minutes.
Burden Hours: 18.
Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current
information collection.
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires any U.S.
citizen issued a Special Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit to
complete logbooks and submit them to NMFS (50 CFR 665). The Special
Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit is authorized under the Fishery
Ecosystem Plans for American Samoa Archipelago, Hawaiian Archipelago,
Mariana Archipelago, and Pacific Remote Island Areas. The information
in the logbooks is used to obtain fish catch/fishing effort data on
coral reef fishes and invertebrates harvested in designated low-use
marine protected areas and on those listed in the regulations as
potentially-harvested coral reef taxa in waters of the U.S. exclusive
economic zone in the western Pacific region. These data are needed to
determine the condition of the stocks, whether the current management
measures are having the intended effects, and to evaluate the benefits
and costs of changes in management measures. The logbook information
includes interactions with protected species, including sea turtles,
monk seals, and other marine mammals, which are used to monitor and
respond to incidental takes of endangered and threatened marine
species.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations;
individuals or households.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
Dated: October 25, 2018.
