DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. chapter 35).
    Agency: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
    Title: Pacific Tuna Fisheries Logbook.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0148.
    Form Number(s): NA.
    Type of Request: Regular submission (extension of a current 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 15.
    Average Hours per Response: 5 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 106.
    Needs and Uses: United States (U.S.) participation in the Inter-
American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) results in certain 
recordkeeping requirements for U.S. fishermen who fish in the IATTC's 
area of management responsibility. These fishermen must maintain a log 
of all operations conducted from the fishing vessel, including the 
date, noon position, and the tonnage of fish aboard the vessel, by 
species. The logbook form provided by the IATTC is universally used by 
U.S. fishermen to meet this recordkeeping requirement. The information 
in the logbooks includes areas and times of operation, and catch and 
effort by area. Logbook data are used in stock assessments and other 
research concerning the fishery. If the data were not collected or if 
erroneous data were provided, the IATTC assessments would likely be 
incorrect and there would be an increased risk of overfishing or 
inadequate management of the fishery.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Frequency: Daily.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    OMB Desk Officer: [email protected].
    Copies of the above information collection proposal can be obtained 
by calling or writing Diana Hynek, Departmental Paperwork Clearance 
Officer, (202) 482-0266, Department of Commerce, Room 6616, 14th and 
Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230 (or via the Internet at 
[email protected]).
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to [email protected].

    Dated: February 9, 2011.
