Terms of Clearance: 1. The Regional Administrator determines reporting requirements for the NWHI lobster fishery pursuant to 50 CFR 660.5. If these requirements differ from those represented in the current Information Collection Request, NOAA should inform OMB of such differences. 2. NOAA is encouraged to continue to explore electronic reporting options to further reduce the burden of daily reporting in all four fisheries in the southwest region. In particular, OMB recommends that NOAA consider developing a system such as that used in the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna fishery that would allow for cellular telephone reporting of daily catch catch.

Abstract: Persons participating in federally managed fisheries in the western Pacific Ocean are required to provide information about their fishing activities. Logbook reports are used in stock assessments and fishery evaluations to determine whether management is working and the impacts of alternative changes in management measures. Notification requirements are in place to facilitate placement of observers as needed and to improve compliance monitoring and enforcement. Experimental fishing reports are required to determine if the specially permitted fishing is successful and whether there is broader potential.
