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: Southeast Region Logbook Family of Forms.
    Form Number(s): None.

    Burden Hours: 2,047.
    Number of Respondents: 505.
    Average Hours Per Response: 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Participants in most Federally-managed fisheries in 
the Southeast Region are currently required to keep and submit catch

that a subset of these vessels also provide information on the species 
and quantities of fish, shellfish, marine turtles, and marine mammals 
that are caught and discarded or have interacted with the vessel's 
fishing gear. The data obtained is needed for fishery management 
planning and to help protect endangered species and marine mammals.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, 
individuals.
    Frequency: By fishing trip.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
