Instructions
ROCKFISH PROGRAM
CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT REPORT
Each Rockfish Cooperative must designate when a vessel is fishing under the authority of a Rockfish Program
Cooperative Quota (CQ) permit. This procedure is necessary because vessels fish in both Rockfish Program
fisheries and non-Rockfish Program fisheries (e.g., pollock, Pacific cod, and various flatfish fisheries) do not
require the same catch monitoring provisions.
Note: Each check-in report, check-out report, and termination of fishing declaration
must be submitted online.
Rockfish Cooperative Check-In Report
The Rockfish Check-in Report authorizes a vessel to fish under the CQ permit.
♦

The designated representative must submit a Rockfish Check-in Report at least 48 hours prior to the
time the vessel begins a fishing trip to fish under a CQ permit.

♦

A check-in report is effective at the beginning of the first fishing trip after the designation has been
submitted.

Rockfish Cooperative Check-Out Report
The Check-out Report states that a vessel is no longer fishing under the CQ permit.
♦

The designated representative must submit a Rockfish Check-out Report for any vessel within 6 hours
after the effective date and time the rockfish cooperative wishes to end the vessel's authority to fish
under the CQ permit.

♦

This designation is effective at:
□

The end of a complete offload if that vessel is fishing under a CQ permit for a catcher vessel
cooperative

or the earlier of;
□

The end of the week-ending date as reported in a production report if that vessel is fishing under a
CQ permit for a catcher/processor cooperative; or

□

The end of a complete offload if that vessel is fishing under a CQ permit for a catcher/processor
cooperative.

Rockfish Cooperative Termination of Fishing Declaration
The Rockfish Cooperative Termination of Fishing Declaration terminates a CQ permit.
Submit the Check-in Report, Check-out Report, or Termination of Fishing Declaration to NMFS using an
electronic online application available on the NMFS Alaska Region website at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov.
