Abstract:
logbooks and cost-earnings reports information collection to incorporate proposed changes under a proposed rule (RIN 0648-BM23) that will modify and expand electronic reporting requirements in Atlantic HMS fisheries. These changes include requiring vessel owners/operators that report in existing paper commercial logbooks (Atlantic HMS logbook and Southeast Coastal Fisheries Logbook Program), to report electronically, via the Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC) Commercial Electronic Logbook (working title for electronic reporting program in development) while also modifying the timing requirements for reporting. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is also proposing to implement new electronic logbook requirements for vessel owners/operators holding HMS Charter/Headboat permits or Atlantic Tunas General category permits, Atlantic Tunas Harpoon category permits, and/or Swordfish General Commercial permits. This information collection provides essential data on HMS fishing effort, catch, and economic data that is essential to the continued management of these fisheries. The legislative authorities to collect data from the various sectors of the economy that harvest marine resources in the exclusive economic zone are the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA). Under this dual authority, the Secretary of Commerce has promulgated rules that require specific types of record keeping and data submissions. HMS are species that travel long distances and often cross domestic and international boundaries. NMFS manages HMS fisheries—tunas, sharks, swordfish, and billfish—in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean waters.
