Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Adjustment: Changes 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 slightly reduced as a result of an updated analysis which included the average number of entities in each gear marking category from 2007-2009. The number of participants in each gear marking program varied by fishery; black sea bass and scup participants using pots/traps decreased while red crab participants remained the same, fishery participants using gillnets decreased slightly, as did multispecies participants using longline gear, and tilefish participants using longline gear increased slightly. This specific increase was enough to increase the total cost, based on the average cost per unit.
