SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, the 

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has 

the responsibility for the conservation 

and management of marine fishery 

resources. Much of this responsibility 

has been delegated to the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA)/National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). 

Under this stewardship role, the 

Secretary was given certain regulatory 

authorities to ensure the most beneficial 

uses of these resources. One of the 

regulatory steps taken to carry out the 

conservation and management 

objectives is to collect information from 

users of the resource. 

As regional Fishery Management 

Councils develop specific Fishery 

Management Plans (FMP), the Secretary 

has promulgated rules for the issuance 

of permits to individuals and 

organizations participating in Federally 

controlled fisheries in order to: (1) 

Register fishermen, fishing vessels, fish 

dealers and processors, (2) List the 

characteristics of fishing vessels and/or 

dealer/processor operations, (3) Exercise 

influence over compliance (e.g., 

withhold issuance pending collection of 

unpaid penalties), (4) Provide a mailing 

list for the dissemination of important 

information to the industry, (5) Register 

participants to be considered for limited 

entry, (6) Provide a universe for data 

collection samples, and (7) Provide 

notification when a vessel is conducting 

fishing activities that are authorized by 

the FMPs only in specific circumstances 

(e.g., exemption programs). The 

identification of the participants, their 

gear types, vessels, and expected 

activity levels is an effective tool in the 

enforcement of fishery regulations. This 

information is needed to measure the 

consequences of management controls 

as well. Participants in certain fisheries 

may also to be required to notify NMFS 

before fishing trips for the purpose of 

observer placement and to make other 

reports on fishing activities. 

II. Method of Collection 

Initial vessel and dealer permit 

applications are made by signed paper 

form. After initial permit issuance, a 

pre-printed permit renewal form is 

generated via computer using current 

permit information. This form is then 

sent to the permit holder for updates. If 

no changes to the pre-printed form are 

required, the applicant simply needs to 

sign the form and return it with any 

additional information (i.e., current 

state registration or United States (U.S.) 

Coast Guard document) required for 

permit renewal. Initial and renewal 

vessel operator permit applications, 

additional information associated with 

vessel permits including gillnet and 

lobster trap tag purchases, and 

permanent days-at-sea (DAS) transfers, 

are submitted by signed paper form. 

Automated position reporting by means 

of a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is 

required for all vessels issued a limited 

access sea scallop, Northeast (NE) 

multispecies, surf clam/ocean quahog, 

herring, or monkfish Category F permit. 

Permitted Canadian herring transport 

vessels must also be equipped with 

VMS. Vessel owners issued a monkfish 

Category A or B permit may voluntarily 

elect to provide DAS notification 

through VMS. VMS power down 

exemption requests are submitted by 

signed paper form. Categories of vessels 

not required to use VMS are required to 

report via a DAS call-in system.
