Abstract:
Fishing vessels permitted to participate in Federally permitted fisheries in the Northeast Region are required to submit logbooks containing catch and effort information about their fishing trips. Participants in the tilefish and open access herring fisheries are also required to make reports on the catch through an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. In addition, vessels fishing under the Exempted Fishing Permit (EFP) or Mid-Atlantic Research Set-Aside (RSA) programs are required to submit research catch information through the IVR system. This change request per Final Rule 0648-BB40 removes the "did not fish" reporting requirement, as other checks in the system make this requirement no longer necesary.
