Abstract:
Year-round reporting of sea turtle incidental take is necessary to (1) monitor the level of incidental take in the state- monitored pound net fishery, (2) ensure that the level of take does not exceed the Incidental Take Statement issued in conjunction with the Biological Opinion, and (3) verify that the seasonal pound net leader restrictions are adequate to protect sea turtles. The respondents are Virginia pound net fishermen.

Short Statement:
From the last estimate to this current information collection, the total number of reports estimated has increased from 483 to 1003. This increase was a result of using the maximum number of possible licensed pound net sites per Virginia fishery regulations (n=161) on which to base our information collection estimate, rather than the number of documented sites from previous NMFS monitoring efforts (n=80). We determined that the latter was potentially outdated and may be an underestimate. As a result, the total annual burden hours has increased from 81 to 167. Additionally, the annual cost burden for all respondents has increased from $111 to $231, because the maximum number of pound net sites in Virginia was used to estimate responses and cost estimates of reporting. The cost of a phone call is the same as previously estimated. The number of respondents has decreased from 37 to 35, based on updated information on the number of Virginia pound net licensees in the action area. In summary, these estimate variations are not a result of program changes but instead a result of new, updated, information.
