Abstract: This Supporting Statement describes an extension of the currently approved information collection in OMB control no. 0648-0214. Reporting requirements for all collections under 0648-0214 would not change, including vessels fishing under Pacific Islands Region permits for pelagic longline fishing, crustaceans, precious corals, bottomfish, and other pelagic fisheries. The current information collection would be continued. Vessel operators or owners in Federally-managed fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region (PIR) are required to provide certain information about their fishing activities, catch, and interactions with protected species by submitting reports to National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), per 50 CFR Part 665.14 . These data are needed to determine the condition of fish stocks and whether current management measures are having the intended effects, to evaluate the benefits and costs of changes in management measures, and to monitor and respond to accidental takes of endangered and threatened species, including seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The reports are submitted using paper logbooks or electronic logbooks (computer tablets or other devices) to the NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center. The Hawaii and American Samoa pelagic longline fisheries will submit reports using electronic logbooks, although paper logbooks will be used if there are equipment or transmission failures. Electronic logbooks collect the same information as paper logbooks. All other PIR fisheries use paper logbooks only. Longline vessel operators are also required to submit pre-trip notifications, including information on trip type, departure time, and transit through a protected species zone per 50 CFR 665.803 . Other fisheries are required to submit notifications of trip return, unloading, or sales reports per regulations in multiple Subparts of 50 CFR 665 .
