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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The total annual burden hours estimate of 1,542 represents a net decrease of 114 hours in the reporting burden for this PRA request from the previous burden of 1,656 hours. The total annual responses estimate of 13,917 represents a net increase of 3,305 responses from the previous 10,612 estimated responses. Program change: The burden hours have decreased slightly because transmitting electronic data to the states take less time than completing a separate ACL form and faxing it to the science center every two weeks. Dealer reporting hours have decreased by 216 due to this program change, although reports have increased (see below). Due to electronic submission of all dealer reports, the cost has decreased from $384 to $0. Adjustments: The number of federally permitted dealers has increased, raising the dealer reporting responses by 2,693. In addition to the -216 hours above, there is an adjustment increase of 44. The interview programs have adjusted the estimated number of both fish (+400) and shrimp (+212) interviews conducted annually. This is to account for seasonal variations in the fisheries due to factors outside the control of fishermen, such as weather, migration patterns of target species, and market conditions. This translates to an increase of 67 and 35 burden hours respectively.
