Abstract:
This collection of information covers regulatory requirements for fishing vessel and gear identification authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act and other applicable law. Vessels in federally-regulated fisheries in the western Pacific region are required to display the vessel's official number in three locations. Purse seine vessels in the South Pacific are required to display their international radio call sign in three locations and on any helicopter or skiff. Fishing gear in the western Pacific pelagic longline fisheries, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands crustacean fishery, and western Pacific coral reef ecosystem fisheries are required to be marked with the vessel's official number in a specific manner and location. This collection renews OMB Control No.: 0648-0360 and adds vessel ID requirements for western Pacific fisheries and the South Pacific purse seine fishery from OMB Control No.: 0648-0361. Vessel ID requirements for fisheries off the U.S. west coast will continue to be covered under OMB Control No.: 0648-0361.

Short Statement:
The adjusted burden and cost is due to: 1) transferring 238 hours of vessel marking requirements for western Pacific and South Pacific tuna purse seine fisheries from OMB Control No.: 0361), 2) an increase of 28 hours in longline vessel gear marking due to updated estimates and 3) a decrease of 552 hours for gear marking of the not currently active NWHI lobster vesselsÂ’ traps. The final result: the increase due to 238 transferred hours, plus the net decrease in gear marking of 524, is a decrease of 286 hours.
