Abstract: Executive Order 13158 directs the Department of Commerce and the Department of the Interior to work with partners to inventory the protection of U.S. ocean and coastal resources by developing a national system of marine protected areas.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Program changes: 1) due to the revised instrument, average burden time per response has decreased from 5 hours to 1 hour and 30 minutes; 2)125 responses averaging 30 minutes have been added to cover updates. There is thus a net decrease in total burden of 1,625 due to program changes. Adjustment: previously, the burden was not annualized, but acknowledging that the responses may be spread over a three-year period, we are now annualizing the burden. Thus, the total 3-year burden is decreasing from 2,500 to 875 hours, but the annualized burden will be 293 hours. The decrease in annualized burden due to this adjustment is 582 hours.
