This request is for revision and extension of a previously approved information collection. We are changing the title from "Permitting and Vessel Identification Requirements for the Commercial Bottomfish Fishery in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands" to "Northern Mariana Islands Commercial Bottomfish Fishery Permit," as the vessel identification requirement was merged into OMB Control No. 0648-0360, Pacific Islands Region Vessel and Gear Identification Requirements.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 265 303
Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as amended in 2006
Program Changes:
The vessel identification requirement, formerly a part of this collection, was previously merged into OMB Control No. 0648-0360 and will be removed from this collection. This removes 6 responses, 5 burden hours, and reduction of costs by $60.
â
Adjustments:
There are 95 fewer estimated applicants, resulting in 95 fewer responses, and an adjustment of preparation time to 15 minutes, resulting in a reduction of burden hours by 55 hours. In addition, permit appeals were erroneously included in the previous submission. There is no permit appeal allowed for this permit, resulting in a reduction of one response and two hours. The application processing fee was not included in the previous submission, and including them raises the total cost burden to $1,660.
