PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT INFORMATION

Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including 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 Pacific Islands Regional Administrator, NOAA Fisheries Service, 1601 Kapiolani Blvd. Suite 1110, Honolulu, Hawaii 96814-4700.

This information is being collected to provide information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor fishing activities in the monument area and to evaluate the effectiveness of management by assessing the status of stocks and the status of fisheries. The information will provide a basis for determining whether changes in management are needed to sustain the productivity of the stocks or to respond to interactions between fishing vessels and protected species. The information is also used to provide a basis for evaluating the magnitude and distribution of impacts resulting from changes to the regulations. Responses to the collection are required under 50 CFR 665.14. Proprietary data provided concerning the vessel and/or business of the responders are handled as confidential under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Sec. 402(b)), and NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. 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.
