Under current regulations NMFS may select for observer coverage any fishing trip by a vessel that has a permit for Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS). NMFS will advise vessel owners in writing when their vessels have been selected. The owners of those vessels are then required to notify NMFS before commencing any fishing trip for Atlantic HMS. Such notification allows NMFS to arrange for observer placements and assignments.

There is a net decrease in hours and costs. Adjustments downward reflect the current number of vessels, which has declined in recent years. However, the net decrease includes the effect of increases in burden and costs, due to percentage of vessels selected for certain swordfish and shark fisheries, based on new requirements. Response times are unchanged. Note: the decrease in cost shown in ROCIS is based on the rounded off current cost; the exact current cost is $4,260, not $4,000.
