Permits are required for persons to participate in Federally-managed fisheries off the West Coast. The permit application forms provide basic information about permit holders and the vessels and gear being used. This information is important for understanding the nature of the fisheries and provides a link to participants. It also aids enforcement of regulations. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) seeks approval to change the sentence structure of Section 3 Vessel Ownership Information for the HMS paper application managed through the WCR Permits Office to "Is each holder of this permit a U.S. citizen (including all members of an association or joint venture)? If the vessel is owned by a trust, partnership, corporation, the permit holder is an 'eligible owner' as described on page two of this form." This change in instruction will not add any additional burden or recordkeeping recording cost, in fact, based on the amount of paper applications received; the overall recordkeeping/reporting cost for the submission of the forms may decrease.

Annual HMS permit responses have remained about the same, with only a slight decrease of 34 permits, with other response categories remaining the same. There is an associated decrease in burden of 4 hours. Due to fewer responses, but mainly due to the anticipated use of the online permit application through NPS (approved under a 2012 change request), the reporting/recordkeeping cost has decreased by $1,192.
