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

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Program changes: 1) provide the option to submit quota transfers online for Crab IFQ, IPQ and inter-cooperative transfer of IFQ; 2) remove the Application for transfer of Crab QS/IFQ or PQS/IPQ and separate it into three applications, because each of the quota type transfers is submitted differently and contains different information; 3) remove the notarization requirement for transfers of Crab IFQ and Crab IPQ. There is an overall increase of 31 hours. A net increase of 180 hours is due to the removal of the transfer of Crab QS/IFQ or PQS/IPQ form and replacement by the three following it below, but the shorter average response time for transfer of Crab IPQ saves 16 hours; that is, simply adding these three forms, with no online transfer option for Crab IPQ transfer, would have added 196 hours. A decrease of 149 hours is due to the addition of online submission for the inter-cooperative transfer of IFQ. Removing the notarization requirement for Crab IFQ and IPQ decreases miscellaneous costs by $2,920. Allowing online transfer for the inter-cooperative transfer of IFQ decreases miscellaneous costs by $1,765. Adding $48 for the Crab QS/PQS transfer results in a net decrease of $4,637.
