Abstract: Vessels in the highly migratory species off the United State (U.S.) west coast (excluding charter vessels) are required to display the vessel's official number. These numbers are required to be displayed on the port and starboard sides of the deckhouse or hull, in addition to skiffs and helicopters associated with purse seine vessels.

Short Statement: Adjustments: The 2014 collection accounted for the cost of markings on only one side of the vessel. This collection is accounting for the cost of two sides and an additional cost for the third marking of purse seine vessels. In addition, the average cost for vessel markings increased from $9 to $16. The new average applies to prices in vinyl lettering and paint. Cost estimates were re-calculated to reflect the addition of vessel markings. There are 19 more purse seine vessels affected by this requirement than there were in 2014. Accounting for the increase in purse seine vessels and accounting for all required vessel markings, there is an increase in estimated annual costs from $7,650 to $27,400. In addition, the burden from additional purse seine vessels increased the total from 639 hours to 644 hours.
