Short Statement:
Program Change: The Fishery Bulletin Option postcard was a one-time collection; 8,837 responses and 295 hours are removed. There was no associated recordkeeping/reporting cost. Adjustments: There is a net decrease of 266 responses and a net increase of 2,409 burden hours in addition to the program change above. The number of EEZ fishing permits and endorsements issued as of November 2012 is 7,412, decreased from 8,072. Wreckfish permits also decreased from 10 to 7. However, Dolphin/Wahoo or Rock Shrimp Operator Permit Applications increased to 614 from 421, and NMFS estimates 1,710 transfer notarizations on an annual basis instead of 1,506. There have also been several increases to estimated response times, based on respondent feedback: For the Federal Permit Application Form for Fishing in the EEZ, average time is 40 minutes instead of 20 minutes including renewals. The Wreckfish Permit Application and the Columbian Treaty Water Application Forms are now estimated to average 30 minutes per response instead of 20 minutes Dolphin/Wahoo or Rock Shrimp Permit Applications are now estimated to average 25 minutes per response instead of 20 minutes. There is expected to be one Live Rock site evaluation added, for a total of 45 minutes (1 hour) There is a net decrease of $203,551 (adjustments only)-- from $694,185 to $490,634, due to adjustments made by the Southeast Regional Office to update the number of permit holders and fees found in the responses to Question 13.
