Short Statement:
A reduction in the number of responses (42,047 to 41,464), burden hours (3,751 to 3,385), and costs ($642,311 to $111,806*) is due to: 1) requirements associated with purchase, installation, and registry of VMS devices, which is currently complete and thus requires no further burden and 2) mackerel vessel permits, confirmation of permit history and replacement/upgrade documentation being covered under OMB Control No. 0648-0202. The latter was a duplication in the previous submission. *Rounded up to 11,807 in ROCIS.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
