    Needs and Uses: Fishing vessels permitted to participate in 
Federally-permitted fisheries in the Northeast are required to submit 
logbooks containing catch and effort information about their fishing 
trips. Participants in the herring and tilefish fisheries are also

seeks to renew Paperwork Reduction Act clearance for these 
requirements.

households.
