NMFS established vessel speed restrictions in 2008 to reduce the threat of collisions with highly endangered North Atlantic right whales. The restrictions are in effect seasonally in discrete areas along the U.S. eastern seaboard. NMFS provided a safety exception to the restrictions due to poor weather or sea conditions. Ships' captains are required to make an entry into the vessel's Official Logbook when an exception is necessary. The logbook entry is expected to take less than five minutes; an estimated 272 hours for the entire U.S. east coast maritime community, annually.

The number of respondents and responses has increased due to an increase in vessel transits through speed restriction areas. This results in a corresponding increase in the number of burden hours.
