I. Abstract
This is a request for renewal of an
approved information collection. The
Merchant Marine Act of 1936, as
amended by Public Law 91–469 and
Public Law 99–514, provides for the
administration of a Capital Construction
Fund (CCF) Program by NOAA’s
National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). The law requires that
applicants enter into formal Agreements
with the Secretary of Commerce. The
Agreement allows the fishermen to defer
taxable income from operation of their
fishing vessels if the money is placed
into an account to fund the
construction, reconstruction, or
replacement of a fishing vessel. The
program requirements are detailed at 50
CFR part 259. The Agreement is a
contract between the Secretary of
Commerce and the Agreement holder
specifying the obligations of each party.
Schedule A specifies the vessel which
earned the income which is eligible for
deposit in to a CCF account. Schedule
B specifies the construction, acquisition,
or reconstruction objectives planned
under the Agreement. The Certificate of
Construction/Reconstruction certifies
the total cost at completion of Schedule
B objectives.
Under a CCF Agreement, the
participant cannot deposit more than
the amount specified at 46 U.S.C. 53505.
NMFS must approve any withdrawals
made before they take place. It is
essential that a reasonably detailed
record be kept of each participant’s
deposit/withdrawal activity. If
withdrawn monies are not used for
allowed purposes, the withdrawn
amount (a nonqualified withdrawal) is
considered income to the participant in
the year withdrawn and taxed at the
highest marginal tax rate for the entity
involved.
Respondents will be commercial
fishing industry individuals,
partnerships, corporations and limited
liability companies which entered into
CCF agreements with the Secretary of
Commerce. The information collected
from applicants for the CCF Agreement
(NOAA Form 88–14) is used to
determine their eligibility to participate
in the CCF Program. The information
collected from agreement holders for the
Certificate Family of Forms is used to
identify their program eligible vessels,
their program projects, to certify the cost
of a project at completion and to
determine the remaining tax basis of the
qualified vessel. The information
collected on the Deposit/Withdrawal
Report (NOAA Form 34–82) is required
to ensure that agreement holders are
complying with fund deposit/

SUMMARY:

The success of fisheries management
programs depends significantly on the
availability of fishery data. As part of
this fishery data, the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS) requires
groundfish fishermen in the trawl and
non-trawl fisheries to complete a
logbook (see 50 CFR 660.13). The
logbook used is a standard format
developed by the Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) to
collect information necessary to
effectively manage the fishery on a
coast-wide basis. The logbook collects
haul or set-level effort data including
time, location, gear type, target strategy,
and estimated pounds of fish caught per
set. Each logbook entry represents a
single fishing trip.
NMFS contracts with the Pacific
States Marine Fisheries Commission
(PSMFC) to distribute and collect the
logbook data. These data are used
regularly by NMFS, the Council, the
West Coast Groundfish Observer
Program, NMFS Office of Law
Enforcement, and the Coast Guard for
fisheries management and enforcement.
Previously, the trawl logbook and
non-trawl logbook information
collections were separate (NMFS temp
collection 0648–0804); this revision
would merge the non-trawl logbook
information collection into the trawl
logbook information collection.
II. Method of Collection
The non-trawl logbook is a fully
electronic collection utilizing an
application operated by Pacific States
Marine Fisheries Commission. The
trawl logbook has both paper and
electronic options, both administered by
Pacific States Marine Fisheries
Commission.
