Abstract:
The Registry Program collects name, address, date of birth, e-mail address and telephone contact information from those anglers and for-hire vessels who are involved in recreational fishing in the United States (U.S.) EEZ or for anadromous fish in any waters, unless the anglers or vessels are exempted from the registration requirement. This information is compiled into a national and/or series of regional registries that are used to support surveys of recreational anglers and for-hire vessels to develop estimates of recreational angling effort. A registration fee of $25 is now charged.

Short Statement:
Program change: As provided in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P, an increase in registration fee of $10, to $25 per year is required. This adds $10 per year for those already in the registry, or $90,900. Adjustment: The burden hours estimate in A12 is adjusted upward to reflect the estimated increased level of annual registrations. This adjustment has increased the estimated number of anglers and for-hire vessels that are required to register with NOAA from the prior estimates of 9,026 and 64, to 15,008 and 114, respectively, or double the numbers that actually registered in 2013. This adds 6,032 respondents and 302 hours. Registration costs for these additional registrants totals $150,800.
