Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance of 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: Pacific Islands Region Coral Reef Ecosystems Logbook and 
Reporting.
    Form Number(s): None.
    OMB Approval Number: 0648-0462.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 382.
    Number of Respondents: 5.
    Average Hours Per Response: At-sea notifications, 3 minutes; 
logbook reports, 30 minutes; and transshipment reports, 15 minutes.
    Needs and Uses: Logbooks are required for U.S. fishing vessels 
registered for use (or any U.S. citizen issued) with a Special Coral 
Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit authorized under the Fishery Management

management measures are having the intended effects, to evaluate the 
benefits and costs of changes in management measures, and to monitor 
and respond to incidental takes of endangered and threatened marine 
animals.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
