The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) proposes to increase catch reporting in the Atlantic mackerel fishery through the submission of slippage events on daily catch reports using vessel monitoring systems (VMS). There is no estimated increase to the report's burden.
US Code:
16 USC 1801 et seq
Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
Adding the responses, burden and costs from 0648-0601 resulted in new totals of 52,271 responses, 4,006 hours and $642,311 hours.
