Final Rule 0648-BF57 NOAA’s National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is proposing a change to the
0648-0212 family of forms to add a new information requirement for
federally permitted fishing vessels. This information collection
will remain unchanged, with the exception of a new gear code that
will be available for selection when filling out the vessel trip
report (VTR). There will be no burden added, and no additional
public cost burden associated with this change.

Pub.L. 94 - 265 303 Name of Law: Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
The “Number of Respondents” and
“Total Number of Annual Responses” was derived by calculating their
respective average based upon submissions over the past three
calendar years. (2016 – 2018). The entry for “Departure/Landing
Call-In for Scallop” was removed due to that information now being
solely provided via VMS (Collection 0648-0202). The wage and labor
rate for computing public burden was adjusted from $18.88 per hour
to $24.84 using 2018 Bureau of Labor and Statistics data. The rate
used for the public cost burden in chart 13 reflects an increase of
postage costs from $0.49 to $0.50.
