Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The principal cause of the difference between the OMB inventory of 18,714 burden hours and the estimated annual burden hours of 33,590 is the planned start-up of the charter boat logbook program which will require an additional 19,154 potential burden hours from an estimated 3,250 potential respondents who held charter permits in 2009. However, the net increase in hours is only 15,236, due to adjustments to numbers of current logbook respondents. When fully implemented, the charter logbook program will require weekly reporting from the 3,250 vessels, with 169,000 responses estimated (3,250 x 52 = 169,000). Additionally, 18,962 burden hours are estimated: 16,900 hours from fishing forms and 2,254 hours from no-fishing forms submitted by the approximately 40% expected to submit no-fish forms (16,900 + 2,254 = 19,154). A decrease of 3,918 burden hours from previous estimates is being made to account for current estimates for all but the live rock, Columbian Treaty Waters and headboat burden hours. Hence, the difference of the current inventory of 18,714 and the new estimated burden hours of 33,950 is a net difference of 15,236 hours.
