Abstract: The purpose of this change request is to remove the following questions from the Inspection Request for an Electronic Monitoring System: whether a catcher/processor or mothership; whether vessel previously received an electronic monitoring system inspection; and if YES, the date of the most recent inspection. This information is already in NOAA’s records. These revisions are not expected to significantly change the cost and amount of time required to complete and submit the inspection request.
