The MMPA requires any commercial fisher operating in Category 1 and 11 fisheries to register for a certificate of exemption that will protect the fisher from prosecution under the Act for violation of the moratorium on taking marine mammals. The Proposed List of Fisheries for 1997 would require 14,000 additional fishers to register. In addition, the actual number of applicants for 1996 was considerably less than the expected 13,000. NMFS is, therefore, adjusting the reporting burden to reflect these changes.
