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).

Short Statement: The numbers of respondents and hours have been adjusted based on the actual experience by agency and state staff after averaging the Monuments first three field seasons. There are more than the expected commercial vehicle trips involving entering and exiting the Monument, resulting in an increase of 41 burden hours. The time for completion of general, Native Hawaiian practices and recreation permits and reports had been underestimated. These combined adjusted estimates result in an increase of 470 burden hours. However, there was a decrease in response time for special ocean use permits, of 93 hours. Also, it has been clarified that the automatic transmissions are not to be counted as burden, creating a further downward adjustment of 264 hours. The net decrease is 113 hours. All costs associated with purchase and installation of VMS and certification remain the same. However, previously the cost of VMS maintenance was not included. Currently, 74 vessels spend an average of $100 per year on maintenance, adding $7,400 annually. Also, 74 vessels are now submitting automatic VMS transmissions, for a total of $15,060, an increase of $4,915 from $10,145. Thus total costs have increased from $55, 224 to $67,635, an increase of $12,411. NOTE: In addition to adjusting/renaming most of the ICs, we were still left with three that were not needed, and the apparent changes due to agency discretion resulting are simply artifacts of the ROCIS system.
