Abstract: Catch and effort data are needed for scientific analyses that support critical conservation and management decisions that are made by national and international fishery management agencies. In addition, biologists need data on the amount of fish, marine mammals, and sea turtles that are caught or interacted with. This family of forms also includes the collection of cost-earning information and discards reported by fishermen.

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Program Change: The principal cause of the difference between the OMB inventory of 33,950 burden hours and the estimated annual burden hours of 15,945 is the charter boat logbook program which was never activated. The current inventory includes an estimated 19,154 potential burden hours from the estimated 3,250 potential respondents who held charter permits in 2009 that was never used and removed from this renewal. Adjustments: An additional net increase of 1,150 burden hours' increase from previous estimates is being made to account for current estimates to the coastal logbook (+684), economic cost/trip (+1,925), discard (+1,026), annual fixed cost (+21), golden crab (+35), live rock (-16), headboat (-750), wreckfish (0), Colombian waters (-1), and shrimp (-1,774) data collection programs. Hence the difference of the current inventory of 33,950 and the new estimated burden hours of 15,946 is a net difference of 18,004 hours.
