Privacy Act Statement
Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq.
Purpose: The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that conservation and management measures must prevent over
fishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each fishery. Vessel logbooks are essential
tools in the management of fishery resources. Section 303(a)(5) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act specifically
identifies the kinds of data to be collected for fishery management plans (FMPs).
Routine Uses: The Department will use this information for effective fishery management. Disclosure of this
information is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a), to be shared within NMFS offices,
in order to coordinate monitoring and management of sustainability of fisheries and protected resources, as well
as with the applicable State or Regional Marine Fisheries Commissions and International Organizations.
Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in
the COMMERCE/NOAA-6, Fishermen's Statistical Data.
Disclosure: Submission is mandatory for those persons falling under the requirements of 50 CFR 665.14. If the
information is not provided, permit status may be affected.
Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to vary from 5 minutes to 2 hours per response, with an
average of about 35 minutes, including the 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 aspect of this collection of information,
including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Regional Administrator, National Marine Fisheries
Service, Pacific Islands Region, 1845 Wasp Blvd., Bldg. 176, Honolulu, Hawaii 96818.
This information is being collected to ensure accurate and timely records about the fishing activity of persons
licensed to participate in fisheries under Federal regulations in the Pacific Islands Region. This will enable the
National Marine Fisheries Service and the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council to (a) determine how
those persons would be affected by changes in management; (b) ensure that they are informed about prospective
changes in fishery regulations and the analysis of estimated impacts; and (c) determine whether the objectives of
the fishery program are being achieved by monitoring the fishery and evaluating the impacts on stocks and the
fishery participants and related businesses. Responses to the collection are required to obtain the benefit of a
license for the fishery involved (ref. 50 CFR 665.13 and 665.14). Data provided concerning the activities and
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.
Vessel Reporting Requirements
The operator of any fishing vessel operating under a Federal Pacific Islands Region longline permit must maintain
onboard the vessel an accurate and complete record of catch, effort, and other data on report forms provided by
the Regional Administrator, and must record the information on the forms within 24 hours after the completion of
each fishing day. Each form must be signed and dated by the fishing vessel operator. The original logbook form
must be submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service within 72 hours of each landing of management unit
species. (ref. 50 CFR 665.14)
