Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 179 / Thursday, September 18, 2025 / Notices

Based on the analysis contained
herein of Echo’s proposed survey
activity described in its LOA
application and the anticipated take of
marine mammals, NMFS finds that
small numbers of marine mammals will
be taken relative to the affected species
or stock sizes (i.e., less than one-third of
the best available abundance estimate)
and therefore the taking is of no more
than small numbers.
Authorization
NMFS has determined that the level
of taking for this LOA request is
consistent with the findings made for
the total taking allowable under the
incidental take regulations and that the
amount of take authorized under the
LOA is of no more than small numbers.
Accordingly, we have issued an LOA to
Echo authorizing the take of marine
mammals incidental to its geophysical
survey activity, as described above.
Dated: September 15, 2025.

I. Abstract

[FR Doc. 2025–18027 Filed 9–17–25; 8:45 am]

SUMMARY:

an additional 30 days for public
comments.

This request is for a revision and
extension of a current information
collection.
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 to collect
information necessary to effectively
manage the fishery on a coast-wide
basis. The logbook collects haul or setlevel 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, this revision
would merge the non-trawl logbook
information collection from 0648–0804
into the trawl logbook information
collection. OMB Control Number 0648–
0804 be discontinued upon approval of
the revision to 0648–0782.
