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.

The estimates of respondents, responses, and burden hours were updated and recalculated based on the previous calendar yearâs report submissions.
Program Changes: There were no program changes.
Adjustments: Estimated responses increased by 14,620 to 25,479 and burden hours increased by 10,219 to 13,731 primarily due to a long overdue adjustment of the longline logbook submissions and pre-trip notification counts. The logbook hours increased by 10,500 and the pre-trip notification hours decreased by 281 (see comparison in first two rows of Table 1 â responses and hours changed for only these two items, from the 2015 data.)
