Short Statement: This renewal request adjusts costs for reports that are now submitted via electronic mail, rather than U.S. mail. It also adjusts costs for those information collections that are still submitted via mail to account for the increase in the price of stamps since the last renewal. In addition, Framework Adjustment 69 to the FMP removes regulations requiring certain components of Sector Operations Plans and Sector weekly reports. This revision and extension request revised the burden hours for Sector Operations Plan & Annual Membership List Updates and the Monitoring System (database) for Discards, Sector Manager Weekly Reports & Annual Reports information collections to reflect the components of these reports, which were removed.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $3,257,133
