DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

[I.D. 042202A]


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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: Highly Migratory Species Vessel Logbooks and Cost-Earnings 
Data Reports.
    Form Number(s): NOAA Form 88-191.
    OMB Approval Number:0648-0371.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 24,295.
    Number of Respondents:5,290.
    Average Hours Per Response:12 minutes per trip summary report; 2 
minutes for a no-catch or no-fishing report; 30 minutes for a cost-
earnings trip report; and 30 minutes for an annual expenditure report.
    Needs and Uses: The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) of 
NOAA seeks to reinstate Paperwork Reduction Act clearance of an 
existing logbook information collection and to make mandatory an 
existing voluntary collection of cost-earnings data from fishermen who 
possess permits to fish for highly migratory species. The cost-earnings 
form is an added portion of the existing trip summary form for vessel 
logbooks. This form has been simplified, and some cost information has 
been removed from the trip summary form to be placed on an annual 
expenditures form, in response to comments from fishermen. The 
information collected in logbooks and the cost-earnings form will help 
NMFS identify impacts of proposed regulatory measures on fishermen and 
the resource, consistent with applicable law such as the Magnuson-
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations, 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually, by trip.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Madeleine Clayton, Departmental Paperwork 
Clearance Officer, (202) 482-3129, Department of Commerce, Room 6608, 
14th and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230 (or via the 
Internet at [email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to David Rostker, OMB Desk Officer, Room 10202, New Executive Office 
Building, Washington, DC 20503.
