Abstract: Fishermen in Federally-managed fisheries in the western Pacific region are required to provide certain information about their fishing activities. These data are needed to determine the condition of the stocks and whether the 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. Minor changes have been made to the Bottomfish log cover sheet, logbook page and instructions, to improve clarity and ease of completion for the fisherman. No new information is asked.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Due to some burden duplication with OMB Control No.: 0648-0441 and 0648-0519, 390 hours were subtracted from this collection. However, more detailed description of remaining burden by each information collection, response time required, and number of responses for each, 336 hours were added. Thus, there is a net decrease of 54 hours. As stated in #13, VMS costs of $3,352 included in the last submission were eliminated from the total annual cost to respondents because this equipment was purchased by NMFS, and the ongoing costs are covered in OMB Control No.: 0648-0441 and 0648-0519.
