PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT INFORMATION
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated as follows: 30 minutes for the WP pelagic squid jig permit application and 2 hours for all
permit denial appeals. Each burden includes time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspects of this
collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to NMFS Pacific Islands Regional Administrator, 1601 Kapiolani Blvd.
Suite 1110, Honolulu, Hawaii 96814-4700.
This information is being collected to ensure accurate and timely records about the persons licensed to participate in fisheries under Federal
regulations in the Western Pacific Region. This will enable NMFS and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council to (a) determine who
would be affected by changes in management; (b) inform license holders of changes in fishery regulations; and (c) determine whether the objectives
of the fishery program are being achieved by monitoring entry and exit patterns and other aspects of the fisheries. The information is used in
analyzing and evaluating the potential impacts of regulatory changes on persons in the regulated fisheries as well as in related fisheries. Responses
to the collection are required to obtain the benefit of a license for the fishery involved (ref. 50 CFR 665.13). Data provided concerning the vessel
and/or business of the respondents are handled as confidential under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Sec.
402(b)). 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.
