Participants in certain federally
regulated fisheries in the Southeast Region must mark their fishing
gear with the vessel's official identification number or permit
number (depending on the fishery) and color code. Harvesters of
aquaculture live rock must mark or tag the material deposited.
Marking may include the use of geologically distinguishable
materials. These requirements are needed to aid fishery enforcement
activities and for purposes of gear identification of lost or
damaged gear and related civil proceedings.

There are changes in Items 13
and 14 of the OMB 83-I due to a program change which banned fish
traps from the Gulf of Mexico reef fish fishery; this resulted in a
decrease of 3,320 traps, the associated burden of 387 hours, and
associated cost of $4,316. In addition, there is an adjustment of
one hour, as the previous hours for coral rock marking were
incorrectly rounded down to 277. There is no actual cost
adjustment, but there appears to be one for $410, as the previous
total burden was migrated into ROCIS, rounded down to the nearest
thousand.
