DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit 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.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0016.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission.
    Number of Respondents: 9,325.
    Average Hours per Response: Logbook responses for fishing trips, 
10, 15 or 18 minutes; no-fishing responses, 2 minutes; annual fixed 
cost survey, 30 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 33,950.
    Needs and Uses: Under Fisheries Management Plans developed under 
the Authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and 
Management Act, the participants in most federally-managed fisheries in 
the National Marine Fisheries' Southeast Region are currently required 
to keep and submit catch and effort logbooks from their fishing trips. 
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. A subset of these vessels also provide information about dockside 
prices, trip operating costs, and annual fixed costs.
    The data are used for scientific analyses that support critical 
conservation and management decisions made by national and 
international fishery management organizations. Interaction reports are 
needed for fishery management planning and to help protect endangered 
species and marine mammals. The price and cost data will be used in 
analyses of the economic effects of proposed regulations.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: David Rostker, (202) 395-3897.
