This information collection fulfills the requirements under section 402(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Attachment 1- U.S.C. 16 1881a). The observer and dealer permit requirements to be implemented through the pilot hagfish information collection program are intended to improve upon the quality and quantity of information currently available on the hagfish fishery resource and its fishery operations. Since there is currently no management program for this fishery, and consequently no permitting or reporting requirements, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the actual level of hagfish landings. Moreover, the level of discards and discard mortality of hagfish culled at sea in response to a rejection by the dealer in port is unknown. Specifically, the information provided by the hagfish information collection program participants would help National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the Council shape future hagfish management measures to reflect the unique aspects of this fishery and its interaction with other Federally-managed fisheries.

Vessels in the hagfish fishery will need to respond to requests to carry observers: 5 vessels are estimated to have to make 12 responses of 2 minutes each, resulting in an annual total burden of 2 hours. The two dealer/processors affected by the regulation would take 15 minutes each for an initial application and 5 minutes each for a renewal application with a total annualized burden of 14 minutes. Costs consist only of postage for mailing applications and renewals.
