Common use of Sector Reporting to NMFS Clause in Contracts

Sector Reporting to NMFS. The Sector will report weekly to NMFS as required using data collected from vessels, VTRs, (and eVTRs when authorized), dealer reports, observer reports and any other data available. The reporting frequency for the sector manager’s ACE Status Report will be increased to daily when 90% of any of the sector’s ACEs is reached.

During the period when a sector has reached or exceeded 90% of any of its ACEs, daily ACE Status Reports must be submitted only on a day when a member vessel lands, or when the sector engages in an ACE transfer of a stock that is exceeding the 90% threshold. An alternative threshold for increasing reporting frequency may be implemented during FYs 2015 and 2016 if agreed upon by the sector and NMFS. The Sector will submit required reports using the format and procedures prescribed by NMFS. Weekly reports must include any enforcement or reporting compliance issues, including violations of Operations Plans (exclusive of defined administrative provisions), violations of regulations, or general problems with monitoring or sector operations during the reporting period.
