Common use of DISCARD RATES AND IN‐SEASON DISCARD ESTIMATES Clause in Contracts

DISCARD RATES AND IN‐SEASON DISCARD ESTIMATES. The Sector manager (or his/her designated 35 representative) will derive stock specific discards for each trip. If the trip is observed by either an at- 36 sea monitor or a Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP) observer, discards will be derived 37 based on data collected during that trip and will account for all hauls (observed and unobserved) on 38 that trip. If the trip is not observed, discards will be derived using the NMFS-provided discard rate 39 resulting from the NMFS method to estimate 'in-season' discard rates, which may not include data 40 from research trips or sector trips using certain exemptions.
