Fishermen in Federally-managed fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region (central and western Pacific) are required to maintain valid fishing permits on-board their vessels at all times. The permits included in this collection are: Hawaii longline limited entry, American Samoa pelagic longline limited entry, Western Pacific (WP) general longline, WP receiving vessel, Pacific Remote Island Areas troll and handline, WP bottomfish, and WP precious coral permits. Permits are generally renewed annually and are needed to identify participants in the fisheries. Permits also are important to help measure impacts of management controls on the participants in the fisheries of the United States (U.S.) EEZ in the Pacific Islands Region. Appeals of permit denials, revocations, or suspensions are included.

Miscellaneous Actions
Program Changes: The elimination of Hawaii shallow-set certificate requests and NWHI bottomfish limited entry permits and the transfer of WP crustacean permits to OMB Control No. 0648-0586 resulted in a decrease of 168 responses and 38 hours. There was a decrease of $264 in permit fees that were previously charged for the NWHI bottomfish limited entry permits. Adjustments: Changes in burden estimates for remaining permits are based on updated estimates for numbers of applications, resulting in a net decrease of 45 responses and 30 hours. Processing fee amounts were increased but responses decreased, for a net decrease of $1,184.
