PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT for the ADF&G Commercial Operators' Annual Report

Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, 16 U.S.C 1801 et seq.


Purpose: The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that conservation and management measures must prevent over fishing while achieving, on a continuing basis, the optimum yield from each

fishery. Catcher/processors and motherships operating in the EEZ off Alaska represent a significant part of the total capacity of groundfish processors in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and account for a substantial part of the total landings each year.  Under 50 CFR 679.5(p), NMFS requires motherships and catcher/processors that are issued a Federal fisheries permit (FFP) to annually complete and submit portions of the Alaska COAR.

Routine Uses: Disclosure of this information is permitted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. Section 552a), to be shared within NMFS offices, in order to coordinate monitoring and management of sustainability of fisheries and protected resources, as well as with the applicable State or Regional Marine Fisheries Commissions and International Organizations. Disclosure of this information is also subject to all of the published routine uses as identified in the COMMERCE/NOAA-6, Fishermen's Statistical Data.


Disclosure: Submission is mandatory for those persons falling under the requirements of 50 CFR 679.5. If the information is not provided, enforcement action may result.
