Abstract:
Participants in the marine fishing industry, including vessel owners, vessel operators, and fish dealers, who wish to participate in regulated Northeast Regional fisheries must apply for, and obtain, permits. Persons obtaining permits may also be subject to notification, tagging, and other requirements. Per RIN 0648-AX70, this action would add a new reporting element to the vessel monitoring system (VMS) and interactive voice response (IVR) reporting requirements authorized under OMB Control Number 0648-0202 at the end of a vessel's trip. The purpose of this new reporting requirement is to allow limited access monkfish vessels to land one additional monkfish daily possession limit and have their days-at-sea (DAS) allocation charged accordingly to account for the additional possession limit.
