Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: There is a reduction of 98 hours (1176 responses x 5 minutes) due to a program change: the use of an optional income qualification affidavit for those fisheries that require income qualification for permitting. The reduction in hours results from these participants not having to gather their tax information on a yearly basis for renewal of their permits (an additional two hours' decrease was an adjustment).
