Paperwork Reduction Act Information
Public reporting burden for this collection is estimated to average 30 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. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of
information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Regional Administrator, NMFS Pacific Islands Region, 1601
Kapiolani Blvd., Suite 1110, Honolulu, Hawaii 96814-4700.
This information is being collected to provide the information needed by NMFS to regulate and monitor the coral reef
fisheries and resources managed under the Fishery Management Plan for Coral Reef Ecosystems of the Western Pacific
Region (FMP) and to evaluate the effectiveness of management by assessing the status of stocks and the status of the
fisheries. The information provides a basis for determining whether changes in management are needed to sustain the
productivity of the stocks or to respond to interactions between fishing vessels and protected species and to address
economic problems in the fishery. The information is also used to provide a basis for evaluating the magnitude and
distribution of impacts resulting from changes to the regulations. Responses to the collection are required to obtain the
benefit of the FMP (50 CFR Part 665 Subpart G). Data provided concerning the vessel and/or business of the respondents are
handled as confidential under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Sec.402(b)).
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a
penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act,
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
