khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 148 / Thursday, August 5, 2021 / Rules and Regulations The Chief Counsel for Regulation of the Department of Commerce certified to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small Business Administration during the proposed rule stage that this action would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The factual basis for the certification was published in the proposed rule and is not repeated here.
NMFS received no comments regarding this certification. As a result, a regulatory flexibility analysis was not required and none was prepared.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
This final rule contains a collectionof-information requirement subject to review and approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act PRA. This rule revises and seeks to extend by 3
years the existing requirements for the collection of information under OMB
Control Number 06480214 Pacific Islands Logbook Family of Forms by requiring the use of electronic logbooks in Hawaii pelagic longline fisheries and on Class C and D vessels in the American Samoa pelagic longline fishery. A 60-day Federal Register notice published on May 25, 2021, provided notification of our intent to extend this information collection 86
FR 28082. This revision is not expected to affect the number of respondents or anticipated responses and is expected to reduce the number of burden hours and burden cost to fishermen. The public reporting burden for completing an electronic logbook form for a completed fishing day is estimated to average 15
minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
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 publics reporting burden. Written comments and recommendations for this information collection should be submitted on the following website:
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
Find this particular information collection by using the search function and entering either the title of the collection or the OMB Control Number 06480214.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is required to respond or, nor shall any person by subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject
