| The differences between the proposed burden levels and the previously approved levels are often due to the recent clarification by NOAA that each burden estimate is of the annual average. Due to uncertainty concerning how often each IC will be conducted and to provide the option for NMFS to conduct each IC up to once every three years, the proposed burden levels are those associated with conducting each IC that frequently. | |||||||||||||||
| For each IC with a prior OMB Control Number other than 0648-0369, the approved burden levels were taken from "Information Collection Search Results" at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRASearch. For the other ICs, the burden levels were taken from their supporting statements. | |||||||||||||||
| The ICR for the Cost Earnings Survey of Mariana Archipelago Small Boat Fleet is separately under review by OIRA. | |||||||||||||||
| Updated 090320 and again 102920 | The previous burden levels were updated for the American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Small Boat-Based Fisheries (0648-0635) because that IC was approved by OIRA Oct. 2, 2020. | ||||||
