Abstract: The National Marine Fisheries Service, Southeast Fisheries Science Center uses these reporting instruments to collect landings statistics and quota monitoring data from commercial seafood dealers and to conduct interviews with fishermen for effort and fishing locations data. This family of forms includes data collection activities for monitoring fishery quotas, routine collections of monthly statistics from seafood dealers, and interviews with fishermen to collect catch/effort and biological data. Proposed rule 0648-BC12 will close a loop hole in the current regulations, for situations where non-federally permitted dealers are buying federally managed species caught in state waters. Under the new rule any dealer who is the first point of sale of a federally managed species (buying fish from a fisherman, not another dealer) will need to obtain a federal dealer permit and will need to make weekly transmissions of trip ticket data to the electronic state run trip ticket programs. Dealers in South Carolina will be asked to use the electronic trip ticket program in addition to the state required paper submissions. Burden will be required of SC dealers to use the electronic system. Dealers in the other states will require burden to transmit the data weekly.

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: The total annual burden hours estimate of 3,165 represents a net increase of 1,623 hours in the reporting burden for this PRA request from the previous burden of 1,542 hours. The total annual responses estimate of 61,046 represents a net increase of 47,129 responses from the previous 13,917 estimated responses. Respondents: dealer respondents are estimated to increase by 700. Program changes: The burden hours have increased by 1,623 because: 1. Under the new rule any dealer who is the first point of sale of a federally managed species (buying fishing from a fisherman not another dealer) will need to get a federal dealer permit and make weekly reports electronically. Thus this assumption is based on a large number of state dealers who handle a very small percentage of federally managed species might get a federal permit and be affected by this collection. The new estimates are high to account for that assumption. It is expected that many dealers will not get a federal dealer permit and will not become the first point of sale for federally managed species. 2. Under the new rule, mackerel non-gillnet dealer reports will change from monthly to weekly; gillnet reports, from weekly to daily.
