Type of Request: Regular submissionextension and revision of a current information collection.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,971.

Colombian fishery logbook, 18 minutes;
discard logbook, 15 minutes; headboat, charter vessel, golden crab, reef fishmackerel, economic cost per trip, wreckfish, and shrimp logbooks, 10

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 69,165.
Needs and Uses: This request is for an extension and revision of a current information collection.
Participants in most federally managed fisheries in the NMFS
Southeast Region are currently required to keep and submit catch and effort logbooks from their fishing trips. A
subset of 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. A subset of fishermen on these vessels also provide information about dockside fish and fuel prices, trip operating costs, and annual fixed costs.
The data are used for scientific analyses that support critical conservation and management decisions made by national and international fishery management organizations.
Interaction reports are needed for fishery management planning and to help protect endangered species and marine mammals. Price and cost data will be used in analyses of the economic effects of existing and proposed regulations.
A final rule that implements requirements under the authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act Magnuson-Stevens Act will require a vessel owner or operator with a Federal charter vessel/headboat permit for Gulf of Mexico Gulf reef fish or Gulf coastal migratory pelagic CMP species to

submit an electronic fishing report also referred to as an electronic logbook for each fishing trip 85 FR 44005, July 21, 2020. NMFS is designing and plans to implement an intercept survey in 2021
to support and validate the electronic logbooks submitted for the Gulf for-hire reporting program. These survey data are required to carry out provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 16 U.S.C.
1801 et seq., as amended, regarding conservation and management of fishery resources.
The survey would intercept captains respondents of Gulf federallypermitted charter vessels and headboats for-hire vessels in the aforementioned fisheries at verified landing locations that are randomly selected in Gulf counties to obtain information after fishing activity for each trip has occurred. The intercept survey is not a census of all electronically reported logbooks but instead would use a stratified random sampling protocol to select landing locations for port samplers to gather a representative sample. Respondents would be asked about vessel information, time and type of fishing, the number of anglers, and details of catch. Catch information would include species identification, number of fish, and disposition i.e., fish kept and released. Length and weight measurements of species retained on fishing trips may also be collected if circumstances allow.
The purpose of the intercept survey is to validate the electronic logbooks submitted through the Gulf for-hire reporting program, the information collection for which are approved under OMB Control Number 06480016. The data collected from the intercept survey would be used to estimate non-reporting of fishing trips and reporting errors.
Data from the intercept survey would be analyzed through statistical methods to provide accurate estimates of the total catch and effort. Without the intercept survey, the electronic logbook results would be left unchecked and could be erroneous due to no adjustments for non-reporting and misreporting.
Erroneous fisheries information could mislead management and lead to inappropriate or unnecessary regulations or lead to lack thereof when needed.
The total for-hire catch and effort estimates obtained from the intercept survey, as well as from the Gulf for-hire reporting program are intended to be used on an ongoing basis by NMFS, regional fishery management councils, interstate marine fisheries commissions, and state natural resource management agencies to develop, implement, and monitor fishery management programs,

per statutory requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Catch and effort statistics are fundamental for assessing the influence of fishing on any fish stock. Accurate estimates of the quantities taken, fishing effort, and both the seasonal and geographic distributions of the catch and effort are required for the development of regional management plans and policies.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit organizations; individuals.
Frequency: Annual, periodic, and as needed.
Respondents Obligation: Mandatory.
