# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Abstract 

                    This action would continue the reporting measure requiring all Virginia Chesapeake Bay pound net fishermen to report interactions with endangered and threatened sea turtles, found both live and dead, in their pound net operations. When a live or dead sea turtle is discovered during a pound net trip, the Virginia pound net fisherman are required to report the incidental take to NMFS and, if necessary, the appropriate                           ( print page 61255)                        rehabilitation and stranding network. This information will be used to monitor the level of incidental take in the state-managed Virginia pound net fishery and ensure that the seasonal pound net leader restrictions (50 CFR 223.206(d)(10)) are adequately protecting listed sea turtles. Based on the number of sea turtle takes anticipated in the Virginia pound net fishery, the number of responses anticipated on an annual basis has increased from 441 to 611, and the number of burden hours has increased from 74 to 102.
