Abstract: On June 15, 2006, President Bush established the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Marine National Monument by issuing Presidential Proclamation 8031 (71 FR 36443, June 26, 2006) under the authority of the Antiquities Act (16 U.S.C. 431). The proclamation includes restrictions and prohibitions regarding activities in the monument consistent with the authority provided by the act. Specifically, the proclamation prohibits access to the monument except when passing through the monument without interruption or as allowed under a permit issued by NOAA and FWS. Vessels passing through the monument without interruption are required to notify NOAA and FWS upon entering into and leaving the monument. Individuals wishing to access the monument to conduct certain regulated activities must first apply for and be granted a permit issued by NOAA and FWS and certify compliance with certain vessel monitoring system requirements. On August 29, 2006, NOAA and FWS published a final rule codifying the provisions of the proclamation (71 FR 51134).

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There are fewer than expected commercial vessel trips involving entering and exiting the Monument, resulting in a decrease of 6 burden hours. However, the time for completion of general, Native Hawaiian practices and recreation permits and reports had been underestimated; adjusted estimates result in an increase of 434 burden hours. The net burden hour increase is thus 428. The costs are as estimated previously (minus $10 from VMS certification due to an earlier calculation error). The costs approved by OMB were $630 less than the figures in the supporting statement, as at the time of submission, there was no allowance for more than two decimal places in the cost per response. The net adjusted increase in cost is $620.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $17,132
