Common use of Sector Reporting Clause in Contracts

Sector Reporting. The Tri-State Sector will submit required weekly and daily reports using the format and procedures prescribed by NMFS. The Sector Manager will report weekly as required by Amendment 16 by gathering and aggregating data from vessels (Vessel Trip Reports (VTRs)), Dockside Monitors (for 50% of trips) dealers, (including but not limited to the weekly electronic dealer reports to be posted on the NMFS ‘sector information management’ web portal), daily discard rates as calculated and supplied by NMFS based on the Northeast Fishery Observer Program (NEFOP), and other data sources as they are available. The Manager shall, on a weekly basis, transmit to NMFS such aggregate catch information generated from such reports (“Aggregate Reports”). Weekly reports may include a section notifying NMFS of outstanding catch records and the results of any investigations into data discrepancies. Any resolutions and / or ongoing internal sector investigations will be noted. The reporting due date for the Sector Manager's weekly report will be increased to daily when a threshold of either 80% of any of the Sector's ACE is reached, or when, for two consecutive weekly reporting periods 20% or more of the remaining portion the Sector’s ACE is harvested, whichever occurs first. Thus, for the latter trigger point, if a sector in one week harvests 25% of the remaining ACE for Gulf of Maine cod for that sector, and the following week harvests 22% of that ACE, the trigger will have been reached and sector reporting will be changed to daily. An alternative threshold for increasing reporting frequency may be implemented during FY 2010 if agreed upon by both the sector and NMFS.
