Short Statement:
Program Change: Crab IFQ loans are now included in this program. At least 5 of the IFQ requests in Question 12 were for crab, adding 5 responses, 40 burden hours and $6. However, overall, IFQ loan applications are down. Adjustments: The estimated number of annual responses has decreased: there is an estimated decrease of 90 in annual reports required, and a net decrease of 171 in new applications (note, in the 2008 extension request, 1,500 annual reports were estimated, but the current sponsor believes that was the 3-year total, which should have been annualized to 500; therefore, our decrease in reports in based on the corrected figure. In addition, the response time for annual reports has been adjusted to more accurately reflect the time needed. Overall, postage is less due to fewer responses; however, the average postage cost per mailing has increased from $4.64 to $5.11.
