Adjustments made to this renewal reflect the most recent data regarding average annual ITQ transfer requests received and the current cost of mailing a letter via standard first class mail. There has been a slight increase in annual cost per response due to postage increases. However, there is a decrease in time burden of 12 hours, as the calculation of the 2009 to 2011 annual activity showed an average annual decrease of 138 responses, and thus there is a related decrease of $47 for the ITQ Transfer Request Form. No Shuck at Sea applications were received from 2009 to 2011, but the burden was analyzed at one submission – as it was in 2008. The total burden reduction is thus 138 responses, 12 hours and $109,241.
