Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Numbers of waiver requestors and proposal commenters increased slightly. Fewer comments in total are now expected, the major reason being a recent change in the maritime boundary in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). Previously, CNMI did not claim a territorial sea, so Federal waters extended to the shoreline. Now that CNMI has claimed authority over their 3-mile territorial sea, we no longer have to seek input from Federal authorities (namely the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council) on every application proposing work in coastal CNMI. The reduction in estimated costs stems from increased use of electronic submission practices and changes in jurisdictional boundaries. The change from 30 minutes to 2 hours for waiver requests is a correction, as is the change from 1.5 hours to 2 hours for comments.
