Abstract: Pr Final Rule 0648-BB34, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing a change to the 0648-0212 family of forms to add a new information collection requirement for vessels requesting a days-at-sea (DAS) credit for a canceled trip. There would be a maximum of 89 hours and no cost associated with this change. This analysis was conducted assuming each permitted vessel will request one DAS credit per fishing year.

ICR Summary of Burden

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: this change request applies to a maximum of 1,063 permit holders. In practice, the number of affected vessels is expected to be substantially lower because DAS permitted fisheries are generally grouped together into a single suite of permits, however it is not possible to estimate the exact number prior to implementation of the requirement. The IVR system is a toll-free number, and therefore it will not cost vessels anything to request a DAS credit. It will take each vessel 5 minutes to request a cancelled trip DAS credit for a total of 89 hours (5 min. x 1,063 vessels).
