Regulations at 50 CFR 648.8 and § 697.8 require that owners of vessels over 25 ft (7.6 m) in registered length that have Federal permits
to fish in the Greater Atlantic Region display the vessel's name and official number. The name and number must be of a specific size at
specified locations: the vessel name must be affixed to the port and starboard sides of the bow and, if possible, on its stern. The official
number must be displayed on the port and starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, and on an appropriate weather deck so as to be
clearly visible from enforcement vessels and aircraft. The display of the identifying characters aids in fishery law enforcement

Changes reflect the most current information regarding the number of relevant vessels (respondents) estimated for the next three years. The average number of respondents per year was reduced by only 10, due to the current number of permitted vessels currently listed in the permit database that are greater than or equal to 25 feet in overall length, creating very minimal adjustments to burden estimates. The total number of respondents in now estimated to be 3,665 entities per year, down from 3,675 in the previous collection. As a result of this decrease, this extension is predicted to have an annual reduction of 7.5 burden hours and $100 cost compared to the previous collection. All differences in burden are due to this minor adjustment and not to a program change.
