Abstract:
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) and its regulations do not apply to scientific research activities conducted on board a scientific research vessel. Persons planning to conduct such research are encouraged to submit a research plan to ensure that the activities are considered research and not fishing. NMFS may also grant exemptions, through an application process, from fishery regulations for educational or other activities (e.g., testing of fishing gear). Those granted exemptions for any of these activities must submit annual reports.

Short Statement:
Based on the currently lower estimates for respondents and responses, if estimated response times had not changed, there would have been a decrease of 449 hours. But due to increased estimated response times based on feedback from the Regions, the estimated hours are now almost ten times the previous estimate (11,003; previously 1,357). Therefore, the net result of adjusting respondents and responses down, and adjusting response times up, is an increase in hours of 9,646. NOTE: as the current costs of $332 were migrated into ROCIS and rounded down to zero, it appears that there is an increase of $262 in costs, whereas in fact there is a decrease of $70 (increased postage costs but fewer responses).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
