This request is for revision of a
current information collection in connection with a final rule,
0648-BB40. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is
proposing to remove the requirement for vessels to report vessel
baseline tonnages when filling out the application for Vessel
Replacement, Upgrade, and Confirmation of Permit History. In
addition, NMFS is proposing to remove the one-time upgrade limit
for vessels, thus eliminating the need for a separate vessel
upgrade process. Implementing these measures would reduce the
administrative burden to permit holders, leading to increased
profits for the regulated community.
PL:
Pub.L. 94 - 265 303 Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Management and Conservation Act
Program Change: This
revision/extension reduces the burden and cost for RUPH. The
replacement form burden is estimated to decrease from 3 hours to
1.5 hours, with a burden decrease from 276 to 138. Fewer surveys
would be needed as part of applications – 35 instead of 70, for 92
applications, which would reduce survey costs by $13,125, from
$26,250 to $13,125. Adjustments: The number of applications and
retention histories received in 2014 showed a decrease from 700 to
93. These adjustments result in decreases of 607 responses, 1,572
hours and $146,522 in costs.
