Commission (IATTC) results in certain recordkeeping requirements for 
U.S. fishermen who fish in the IATTC's area of management 
responsibility. These fishermen must maintain a log of all operations 
conducted from the fishing vessel, including the date, noon position, 
and the tonnage of fish aboard the vessel, by species. The logbook form 
provided by the IATTC is universally used by U.S. fishermen to meet 
this recordkeeping requirement. The information in the logbooks 
includes areas and times of operation and catch and effort by area. 
Logbook data are used in stock assessments and other research 
concerning the fishery. If the data were not collected or if erroneous 
data were provided, the IATTC assessments would likely be incorrect and 
there would be an increased risk of overfishing or inadequate 
management of the fishery.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Daily when on fishing trips.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected] or faxed to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: April 14, 2014.
