Abstract:
Submission of trip start and trip end hails were first required in Amendment 16 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan. Hails were developed to facilitate the deployment of dockside monitors to vessels selected for coverage and to inform the sector managers and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Office of Law Enforcement (OLE) when vessels would be landing. The dockside monitoring program assists with the monitoring and validation of landings and discards as an input to monitoring the utilization of annual catch entitlements (ACEs). Hails, among many other requirements, were approved for collection under OMB Control Number 0648-0605. NMFS is requesting a change to this information collection, to add questions for fishermen to indicate, 1) if they are carrying an observer on board and, 2) whether they would be fishing exclusively in the Gulf of Maine, offshore, or on a trip targeting a particular stock, such as redfish.
