Abstract:
National Marine Sanctuary regulations list specific activities that are prohibited in the sanctuaries. These otherwise prohibited activities are permissible if a permit is issued by the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS). Persons desiring permits must submit applications, and persons obtaining permits must submit reports on the activity conducted under the permit. The upcoming geographic expansion of two national marine sanctuaries in California, per RIN 0648-BD18, precipitated the need for a revision. The information is needed by the ONMS to protect and manage the sanctuaries.National Marine Sanctuary regulations list specific activities that are prohibited in the sanctuaries.

Short Statement:
Overall, the burden estimate has been increased to 2,095 from 1,788, based on changes in the current trends in the number and types of permits issued as determined by recurring program audits. The overall annual number of permits, certifications, and registrations issued by the program has decreased from 650 in 2015 to 555 in 2018, for a total of 1,410 responses. The decrease in permit applications submitted contrasted against an increase in burden hours can likely be explained by an increase in the types of permit requests with greater burden hour estimates (i.e., general and special use permits).
