Short Statement: Adjustments reflect the most current information regarding the number of vessels and gear currently and estimated for the next three years. The total burden hours were reduced as a result of a better analysis of what requirements, specifically the gillnet and lobster tag programs, were accounted for under the Northeast Region Permit Family of Forms (OMB Control No.: 0648-0202). The annual cost was increased primarily as a result of better accounting of the total number of respondents in the gillnet fishery. Previously only 1,500 respondents were indicated, whereas a recent analysis indicates that there are approximately 2,200 respondents to this collection. These numbers are consistent with the Northeast Region Permit Family of Forms submission. In addition, the number of participants within each gear marking program increased, except for Red Crab, which remained the same, and Tilefish, which decreased.
