Highly Migratory Species Vessel Logbooks and Cost-Earnings Data Reports

NMFS seeks renewal and extension, without revision, of an existing logbook information and cost-earnings data collection from fishermen who possess commercial or for-hire permits to fish for highly migratory species (HMS). The information collected in logbooks and the cost-earnings form help NMFS identify impacts of proposed regulatory measures on fishermen and the resource, consistent with applicable law such as the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and the Regulatory Flexibility Act. This PRA is updated to reflect minor changes in the number of permit holders required to respond to HMS logbooks, and changes in respondent hourly labor cost estimates associated with the data collection. There are otherwise no programmatic revisions to this ICR.

The latest form for Highly Migratory Species Vessel Logbooks and Cost-Earnings Data Reports expires 2026-10-31 and can be found here.
