DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


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): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a current information 
collection).
    Number of Respondents: 3,634.
    Average Hours per Response: Annual fixed-cost reports, 30 minutes; 
Colombian fishery logbooks, 18 minutes; discard logbooks, 15 minutes; 
headboat, golden crab, reef fish-mackerel, economic cost/trip, 
wreckfish, and shrimp logbooks, 10 minutes; no-fishing responses for 
golden crab, reef fish-mackerel, charterboat, wreckfish and Colombian 
fisheries, 2 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 17,038.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    Participants in most Federally-managed fisheries in the 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. Price and cost data will be used in 
analyses of the economic effects of proposed regulations.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: Annually and per fishing trip.
    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 fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: August 9, 2016.
