DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment
Request; Southeast Region Logbook Family of Forms
The Department of Commerce will submit the following information
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on August 16th, 2024, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.
Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.
Title: Southeast Region Logbook Family of Forms.
OMB Control Number: 0648-0016.
Form Number(s): None.
Type of Request: Regular submission [extension of a currently
approved collection].
Number of Respondents: 14,083.
Average Hours per Response: 2 minutes: Trip Declaration, 5 minutes:
Power-Down Exemption, Landing Location Request, and South Atlantic for
Hire Electronic Reporting Program. 6 minutes: Wreck fish Logbook, Gold

Needs and Uses: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's (NOAA's) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
seeking to extend the information collections currently approved under
OMB Control No. 0648-0016. The NMFS Southeast Region manages commercial
and recreational fisheries in Federal waters of the Gulf of America
[[Page 33926]]
(Gulf), South Atlantic, and Caribbean under the authority of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq., through regulations implemented
at 50 CFR part 622. Participants in most of these federally managed
fisheries are required to keep and submit logbooks of their fishing
effort and catch from their fishing trips. Some fishermen on 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 fishing gear. These fishermen may
also provide information about dockside prices, trip operating costs,
and annual fixed costs.
NOAA is currently drafting revised regulations to comply with a
court order from the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which
effectively invalidated previous regulations implemented by NMFS. That
rule is not yet available or effective during this time and therefore,
this collection still reflects those requirements. In the future, a
request for a revision will be submitted to comply with the approved
court order.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Annually, or on occasion.
Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
Legal Authority: Magnuson-Stevens Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
