As part of its fishery management
responsibilities, NOAA Fisheries collects information to determine
the amount and type of groundfish caught by fishing vessels. This
collection supports exempted fishing permit requirements for
Pacific whiting shoreside vessels to have and use electronic
monitoring to verify full retention of catch and for Pacific
whiting shoreside processors to send electronic catch data used to
manage the catch allocations and limits. The respondents are
principally groundfish fishermen and shoreside processors which are
companies/partnerships. Other respondents include state fisheries
agencies who seek an exempted fishing permit.
