WCEFT Proposed Electronic Process
Per [50 CFR part 660.303|http://law.justia.com/us/cfr/title50/50-8.0.1.1.9.html#50:8.0.1.1.9.3.1.3] operators of Pacific Whiting vessels delivering whiting during the primary season, and buyers of Pacific Whiting, are required to report deliveries on state fish tickets. In addition the buyer submits an electronic fish ticket for that delivery. Included as part of each electronic fish ticket submission are the actual scale weight for each groundfish species as specified by requirements at 66.373 (j)(2)
and the Pacific whiting shoreside vessel identification numbers. The first receiver submits a completed electronic fishticket for every landing that includes whiting no later than 24 hours after the date the fish are received, unless a waiver of this requirement has been granted.
When the first receiver completes the electronic fishticket submission, the program will present the signing ceremony, which may look something like this:
By typing my name in the indicated fields, I hereby certify that all of the information submitted in, and in support of, this application is true, accurate and complete. I am also agreeing to conduct business electronically with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in accordance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) (P.L. 105-277, 44 U.S.C. 3504 note). I understand that transactions and/or signatures in records may not be denied legal effect solely because they are conducted, executed, or prepared in electronic form, and that if a law requires a record or signature to be in writing, an electronic record or signature satisfies that requirement. I further understand that false statements made knowingly and willfully on this submission, including any documents submitted with or in support of this submission, are punishable by fine and/or imprisonment under the provisions of 16 U.S.C. §1857 and 18 U.S.C. §1001.
I have read and understand the statement above
The first receiver completes an e-signature by typing his/her name in the box and pressing the Electronically Sign button, at which point the e-fishticket program records the e-signature and concludes the data entry session.
