Abstract:
This request is for revision of a current information collection in connection with a final rule, 0648-BB40. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing to remove the requirement for vessels to report vessel baseline tonnages when filling out the application for Vessel Replacement, Upgrade, and Confirmation of Permit History. In addition, NMFS is proposing to remove the one-time upgrade limit for vessels, thus eliminating the need for a separate vessel upgrade process. Implementing these measures would reduce the administrative burden to permit holders, leading to increased profits for the regulated community.

Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
Program Change: This revision/extension reduces the burden and cost for RUPH. The replacement form burden is estimated to decrease from 3 hours to 1.5 hours, with a burden decrease from 276 to 138. Fewer surveys would be needed as part of applications – 35 instead of 70, for 92 applications, which would reduce survey costs by $13,125, from $26,250 to $13,125. Adjustments: The number of applications and retention histories received in 2014 showed a decrease from 700 to 93. These adjustments result in decreases of 607 responses, 1,572 hours and $146,522 in costs.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
