Vessels in certain federally-regulated fisheries off the United States (U.S.) west coast are required to display the vessel's official number in three locations. These requirements are necessary to aid enforcement of fishery regulations.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 265 303
Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as amended in 2006
Adjustments: There are 370 more vessels affected by this requirement than there were in 2011. However, due to comments from fishermen associations regarding vessel maintenance every 2 years, as opposed to one year, in the affected group, burden and cost per vessel are reduced. There is a net reduction from 1330 to 850 estimated annual responses, from 1,099 hours to 639, and from $13,095 to $7,650 in estimated annual costs.
