The Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) requires any commercial fisherman operating in a Category I and II fishery to register for a certificate of authorization that will allow the fisherman to take marine mammals incidental to commercial fishing operations. Category I and II fisheries are those identified by NOAA as having either frequent or occasional takings of marine mammals.

Adjustments: As registration is integrated with existing federal and state commercial fishing license/permit registration, separate MMAP registration is only required for non-permitted fisheries. We do not anticipate any renewals and decrease our response estimate from 800 to 600 accordingly. Also, the average response time is longer, as renewals were estimated to take 9 minutes only; while new requests take 15 minutes. There is an adjustment to recordkeeping/reporting costs, based on postage increase.
