Abstract: 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 permits 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.
