Providers 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of approved 

monitoring service providers. 

SUMMARY: NMFS has approved two 

additional companies to provide 

Northeast multispecies sector electronic 

monitoring services in fishing year 

2022. Regulations implementing the 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan require at-sea and 

electronic monitoring companies to be 

approved by NMFS to provide 

monitoring services to sectors. This 

action will allow sectors to contract for 

electronic monitoring services with any 

of the approved service providers for 

fishing year 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The list of NMFS-approved 

sector monitoring service providers is 

available at: https://www.fisheries.

Specialist, (978) 675–2176, email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan includes a 

requirement for industry-funded 

monitoring of catch by sector vessels. 

Sectors must contract with independent 

third-party service providers who 

provide at-sea and/or electronic 

monitoring services to their vessels. In 

order to provide at-sea or electronic 

monitoring services to sectors, 

monitoring companies must be 

approved by NMFS. The regulations at 

50 CFR 648.87(b)(4) describe the criteria 

for approval of at-sea and electronic 

monitoring service provider 

applications. We approve service 

providers based on: (1) Completeness 

and sufficiency of applications; and (2) 

determination of the applicant’s ability 

to meet the performance requirements of 

a sector monitoring service provider. 

Once approved, service providers must 

meet specified performance 

requirements outlined in § 648.87(b)(4), 

including required coverage levels, in 

order to maintain eligibility. We must 

notify service providers, in writing, if 

NMFS withdraws approval for any 

reason. 

Approved Monitoring Service Providers 

NMFS previously approved seven 

companies to provide monitoring 

services to the Northeast multispecies 

sectors in fishing years 2021 and 2022.

Four of the seven approved companies 

provide both at-sea and electronic 

monitoring services: A.I.S., Inc.; East 

West Technical Services, LLC; Fathom 

Research, LLC; and Saltwater, Inc. The 

other three approved companies provide 

electronic monitoring services: Flywire 

Cameras; New England Marine 

Monitoring; and Teem Fish. On 

September 18, 2021, NMFS announced 

an additional opportunity for 

monitoring companies to apply for 

approval to provide at-sea monitoring 

and/or electronic monitoring services in 

fishing year 2022. 

NMFS approved two additional 

companies to provide electronic 

monitoring services to the Northeast 

multispecies sectors in fishing year 

2022: Archipelago Marine Research, 

Ltd.; and Satlink US, LLC. Table 1 

includes the revised list of approved 

monitoring providers for fishing year 

2022. 

We approved the additional two 

companies to provide electronic 

monitoring services in fishing year 2022 

because they have met the application 

requirements and documented their 

ability to comply with service provider 

standards. We will closely monitor the 

performance of approved providers, and 

we will withdraw approval during the 

current approval term if we determine 

performance standards are not being 

met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) established the 

Western Pacific Fishery Management 

Council (Council) to develop fishery 

ecosystem plans (FEP) for fisheries in 

the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and 

high seas of the Pacific Islands region. 

If approved by the Secretary of 

Commerce, NMFS implements these 

FEPs in Federal regulations. FEPs and 

these regulations manage fishing to 

prevent overfishing and to ensure the 

long-term productivity and social and 

economic benefit of the resources. 

Under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Act, regulations at 50 CFR 

665.819 allow the Council to 

recommend and NMFS to implement 

catch or fishing effort limits for pelagic 

fisheries in the Territory of American 

Samoa, the Territory of Guam, and the
