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: West Coast Region U.S. Pacific
Highly Migratory Species Logbook
Family of Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0648–0223.
Form Number(s): NOAA Form 88–
197.
Type of Request: Regular submission
(extension of a currently approved
collection.
Number of Respondents: 1,700.
Average Hours per Response: 1 hour.
Burden Hours: 3,400.
Needs and Uses: Under the Fishery
Management Plan for United States
(U.S.) West Coast Fisheries for Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) U.S.
fishermen, participating in the Pacific
hook-and-line (also known as the
albacore troll and poll-and-line), coastal
purse seine (vessels less than 400 st
carrying capacity), large-mesh drift
gillnet, and swordfish harpoon fisheries,
are required to obtain a Highly
Migratory Species (HMS) permit. Permit
holders are also required to complete
and submit logbooks documenting their
daily fishing activities, including catch
and effort for each fishing trip. Logbook
forms must be completed within 24
hours of the completion of each fishing
day and submitted to the Southwest
Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC)
within 30 days of the end of each trip.
Federal regulations allow the use of
state logbooks to fulfill this requirement,

for example, California has fulfilled this
requirement to date for HMS fisheries.
These data and associated analyses help
the SWFSC provide critical HMS
fisheries information to researchers,
fisheries managers, and the needed
management advice to the U.S. in its
negotiations with foreign fishing nations
that fish for HMS.
At the November 2018 Pacific
Fisheries Management Council meeting,
the California Department of Fish and
Wildlife submitted an informational
report outlining proposed regulations to
repeal the state logbook requirements
for swordfish harpoon and large-mesh
drift gillnet. In December 2018, the
California Fish and Wildlife
Commission adopted an amendment to
the California Code of Regulations (CCR)
to eliminate the use of California
logbooks for these gear types. These
regulations are expected to become
effective on April 1, 2019.
As a result, NMFS has developed
Federal logbooks to replace the
California logbooks. In addition, the
SWFSC developed a purse seine
logbook for vessels under 400 st (362.8
mt) carrying capacity. This will replace
their use of the Inter-American Tropical
Tuna Commission (IATTC) Seiner
Record and Bridge Log designed for
purse seine vessels over 400 st (362.8
mt) carrying capacity.
The SWFSC and representatives from
each of the fisheries have reviewed the
Federal logbooks. Representatives were
chosen based on their experience with
State logbooks and specific gear-types.
The information collected from the
public will remain consistent and
information currently collected from
California Fish and Wildlife logbooks.
There will be no additional burden to
the public.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Frequency: Submission is required for
each HMS fishing trip.
Respondent’s Obligation: Keep an
accurate and complete record of catch,
effort, and other data on report forms.
The original logbook form for each day
of the fishing trip must be submitted to
the Southwest Fisheries Science Center
within 30 days of each landing of HMS.
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
