Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted 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: Northwest Region Logbook Family of Forms.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0271.
    Type of Request: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Burden Hours: 1,705.
    Number of Respondents: 86.
    Average Hours Per Response: 13 minutes per day for logbooks from 
catcher and mothership vessels, 26 minutes per day for catcher-
processor vessels, 30 minutes or 4.3 minutes per day for a weekly/daily 
production report, 20 minutes for a product transfer/offloading 
logbook, and 1.25 minutes for a start/stop notification.
    Needs and Uses: The information is needed for the management of the 
Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the

voluntarily submit much of the information. The information is used to 
monitor the status of the fishery.
