Abstract: Federally-permitted dealers in specified fisheries are required to submit information weekly regarding their fish purchases. The information obtained is used by economists, biologists, and managers in the management of the fisheries National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking to renew Paperwork Reduction Act approval for these requirements. This collection was revised in 2007 to include an additional sector of the Federal dealer population (hagfish dealers) and revised in 2009 to include American Lobster dealers.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Adjustments: There are currently an average of 55 fewer dealers estimated to respond per year, and 2,610 fewer responses. The hourly burden is reduced by 205; the initial calculated difference was only 79 hours, but we have adjusted the time per response: previously calculated using 0.07 hours, now using 4 minutes. The cost has actually not changed; the amount of $460,200 previously recorded in ROCIS was in error. NOTE: In ROCIS, removal of the hagfish and lobster dealer ICs resulted in apparent burden change due to agency discretion. This is not a program change; there was just no longer a reason to have the lobster and hagfish separate - they were each added on as new ICs as revisions were done. The decrease in hours of 546 and in costs of $115,200 were actually part of the net adjustment decreases.
