If you do not wish to use the Consolidated Report option to report your IFQ catch, you could alternatively use the Groundfish Landing Report option in seaLandings.
You could use this option, for instance, if your offloaded weights differ substantially from the weights entered on your production reports and you find you're spending a lot of time editing your consolidated report as a result.
Go to File...New and choose Groundfish Landing Report as type of report. Click OK.
Enter your vessel and location information. Make sure the Registered Buyer Number field is filled out if you are reporting IFQ catch. If the Registered Buyer Number field is blank, contact NMFS staff immediately (susan.hall@noaa.gov) so they can plug that permit into your operation. You will not be able to create an IFQ report without a Registered Buyer Number. Make sure your port code is where you have landed the IFQ catch (DUT=Dutch Harbor).
Click on the Permits & Pounds Tab.
Click on the New button on the Permits & Pounds tab in the Permits section to enter your first CFEC permit card.
Enter the permits listed on the CFEC card. Select a management program (IFQ for halibut/sablefish; does not require an ID). Enter 100 for percent if there is only one CFEC card holder for this catch.
If you are delivering IFQ catch, please enter an individual's NFMS ID and IFQ Permit number, plus the species code (710 for sablefish; 200 for halibut). Please leave the Area and Max out pounds fields blank.
You can enter more than one IFQ permit for that CFEC card by starting a new row underneath the IFQ Permit and Species fields.
Click on the New button underneath the Itemized Catch section.
Select your Fish Ticket Number and enter your first line of itemized catch. If you choose to use the Stat Area Worksheet (upper right hand corner of the Permits & Pounds tab), leave the Stat Area fields blank in the Itemized Catch section.
Weight is recorded in pounds, as the processed weight of the fish as it is delivered. Disposition code 60 is to be used for sold weight. Weight modifier is selected if you've weighed the IFQ catch with ice and slime. Estimated weights are only allowed on non-IFQ species and must be changed to non-estimated weights within 72 hours. Click OK.
Click on the New button so you can add your second line of itemized catch.
Enter your second line of itemized catch. Please make sure to enter all your discards as separate itemized catch lines. Discarded prohibited species must be reported as number of animals. Click OK.
Notice you have the option of selecting "Estimated" or "With Ice/Slime" in the Weight Modifier field. The "Estimated" option may be selected for 72 hours for non-IFQ species and product code combinations if you are not sure of the exact weight or if you are not sure of the species. However, you must remove the weight modifier and resubmit the report within 72 hours. You may not select "Estimated" for any primary IFQ species products because that will prevent you from generating IFQ reports for that catch. IFQ reports are required for IFQ sablefish and IFQ/CDQ halibut.
The "With Ice/Slime" option allows you to report the weight of halibut or sablefish with ice and slime. The "With Ice/Slime" option is not allowable for non-IFQ species and product code combinations.
Enter your stat areas in your stat area worksheet (if you did not enter them in the Itemized Catch section) and percentages of harvest in each State stat area. Click on the IFQ Reports tab if you're reporting IFQ catch (halibut, sablefish).
Click on the Generate IFQ Reports button, which will create an IFQ report in the IFQ Reports tab.
To print out your fish ticket, go to the Permits & Pounds tab, highlight any field in that row, and click on the Fish Ticket button. You'll need to save your report before you're able to enable and click on the Fish Ticket button.
Please note that you will be unable to generate IFQ reports if you have assigned an "estimated" weight to any primary IFQ products. You can assign "estimated" weights to products by selecting "estimated" in the Weight Modifier field in the Itemized Catch section on your Permits and Pounds tab.
Only primary products will appear on the IFQ report, not ancillary IFQ products. In addition, ambiguous primary products (such as 97, 32) will also not appear on IFQ reports.
NOTE: If you must edit any itemized catch lines after you've generated IFQ reports, you should delete your IFQ reports, then make edits to your Itemized Catch section, and regenerate IFQ reports. If you've already submitted your IFQ reports and find they need to be edited, you must call the Data Clerks (1-800-304-4846, option #1) to make the change. After you call the Data Clerks, then edit your Itemized Catch section so your line items match the manual changes made by the Data Clerks. You cannot edit IFQ reports after they have been submitted to NMFS, except by calling the Data Clerks to do so.
After you process your receipts for your IFQ reports, please open that landing report and go to the IFQ Reports tab to make sure you haven't "red-lined" on your IFQ reports. If you have a message on that IFQ Reports tab that states "Contact NMFS Enf", there is a problem with your IFQ report(s) and you should call the Enforcement Data Clerks at 1-800-304-4846, option #1. Checking your IFQ reports for errors after you process receipts is part of the transmission process.
Your return receipts will not notify you that you have red-lined. Your receipt may state "Action Needed: OK" even if you have red-lined. I've requested that our programmers display this red-line message in the body of return receipts in the next release of seaLandings.
