Abstract: The submission renews an information collecction request that allows Northeast multispecies fishermen to lease allocated days-at-sea, as part of a program in the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan under Amendment 13 to the Fishery Management Plan. Amendment 16 will allow permits held in confirmation of permit history (CPH) to participate in the Days-At-Sea (DAS) Leasing Program without being activated by being placed onto a vessel. To accommodate this change in the regulations, the application to lease DAS has been revised to include the collection of the permit status (permit is in CPH or on a fishing vessel). The public reporting burden for the DAS Leasing Program Request Form will not change with the inclusion of this additional question.

Short Statement: Adjustments: The burden hour and cost estimates for DAS Leasing Applications have been increased to more accurately reflect usage of the program by eligible participants (increase of 400 responses, 34 hours and $269). NOTE: in ROCIS, the increase appears to be only $125, as the previous cost was rounded up to $1,000 when the collection was migrated to the system. The baseline downgrade request estimates remain the same.
