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 Islands Region Coral Reef Ecosystems Logbook and 
Reporting.
    OMB Control Number: 0648-0462.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 5.
    Average Hours per Response: Pre-trip and pre-landing notifications, 
3 minutes; logbook reports, 30 minutes; transshipment reports, 15 
minutes.
    Burden Hours: 18.
    Needs and Uses: This request is for extension of a current 
information collection.
    The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires any U.S. 
citizen issued a Special Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit to 
complete logbooks and submit them to NMFS (50 CFR 665). The Special 
Coral Reef Ecosystem Fishing Permit is authorized under the Fishery 
Ecosystem Plans for American Samoa Archipelago, Hawaiian Archipelago, 
Mariana Archipelago, and Pacific Remote Island Areas. The information 
in the logbooks is used to obtain fish catch/fishing effort data on 
coral reef fishes and invertebrates harvested in designated low-use 
marine protected areas and on those listed in the regulations as 
potentially-harvested coral reef taxa in waters of the U.S. exclusive 
economic zone in the western Pacific region. These data are needed to 
determine the condition of the stocks, whether the current management 
measures are having the intended effects, and to evaluate the benefits 
and costs of changes in management measures. The logbook information 
includes interactions with protected species, including sea turtles, 
monk seals, and other marine mammals, which are used to monitor and 
respond to incidental takes of endangered and threatened marine 
species.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; 
individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Mandatory.
    This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov. 
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections 
currently under review by OMB.
    Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information 
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice 
to OIRA_Submission@omb.eop.gov or fax to (202) 395-5806.

    Dated: October 25, 2018.
