CATCHER/PROCESSOR: LONGLINE & POT GEAR
DAILY CUMULATIVE PRODUCTION LOGBOOK (DCPL)
RESPONSIBILITY
Groundfish fisheries
Unless using a NMFS-approved catcher/processor
longline or pot gear electronic logbook (ELB), the
owner or operator of a catcher/processor that is
required to have a Federal Fisheries Permit (FFP)
under § 679.4(b) and that is using longline or pot
gear to harvest groundfish must use a combination
of catcher/processor longline and pot gear DCPL
and eLandings to record and report daily
processor identification information, catch-by-set
information, groundfish production data, and
groundfish and prohibited species discard or
disposition data.
IFQ halibut, CDQ halibut, and IFQ sablefish
fisheries.
Unless using a NMFS-approved catcher/processor
longline or pot gear ELB, the owner or operator of
a catcher/processor that is using longline or pot
gear to harvest Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ)
sablefish, IFQ halibut, or Western Alaska
Community Development Quota (CDQ) halibut
from the Gulf of Alaska or Bering Sea and

Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) must
use a combination of catcher/processor longline
and pot gear DCPL and eLandings to record and
report daily processor identification information,
catch-by-set halibut and sablefish landing data,
and halibut, sablefish, and prohibited species
catch (PSC) discard or disposition data.
Crab Rationalization (CR) fisheries.
Unless using a NMFS-approved catcher/processor
longline or pot gear ELB, the owner or operator of
a catcher/processor that is using pot gear to
harvest CR crab from the BSAI must use a
combination of catcher/processor longline and pot
gear DCPL and eLandings to record and report
daily processor identification information, CR
crab landings data, and CR crab and prohibited
species discard or disposition data.
REPORTING TIME LIMITS
The operator of a catcher/processor using longline
or pot gear must record in the DCPL the
information shown in the following table for each
set within the specified time limit.

GROUNDFISH LOGBOOKS.
The Regional Administrator will prescribe and
provide all groundfish logbooks. Additional
logbooks may be requested by calling the
Sustainable Fisheries Division at 907–586–7228
or faxing 907–586–7465. All groundfish
logsheets and instructions may be read on the
Alaska Region website at
http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov.
Current edition.
The operator must use the current edition of the
DCPL. Upon written notification and approval by
the Regional Administrator, DCPLs from the
previous year may be used.
Use of Two or More Vessel Logbooks
of Same Gear Type.
If using more than one logbook of the same gear
type in a fishing year onboard a vessel, the
operator must ensure that the page numbers
follow the consecutive order of the previous
logbook.
Use of Two or More Vessel Logbooks
of Different Gear Types.
If two or more different gear types are used
onboard a vessel in a fishing year, the operator(s)
of this vessel must use the same number of
separate vessel logbooks for the different gear
types, each separately paginated. The page
numbers in each logbook must start with page
one.
Retain and record discard quantities over the
maximum retainable amount (MRA).
When a catcher/processor is fishing in an IFQ
fishery and the fishery for Pacific cod or rockfish
is closed to directed fishing but not in PSC status
in that reporting area as described in § 679.20, the
operator must retain and record up to and
including the MRA for Pacific cod or rockfish as
defined in Table 10 or 11 to part 679. Quantities
over this amount must be discarded and recorded
as discard in eLandings.
Alteration of logbook information.
No person may alter or change any entry or record
in a logbook. An inaccurate or incorrect entry or
record must be corrected by lining out the original
and inserting the correction, provided that the
Longline or pot gear DCPL
Updated August 30, 2011

original entry or record remains legible. All
corrections must be made in ink.
Logsheet distribution and submittal.
The operator must distribute and submit logsheets
as indicated below
White: The operator must retain permanently
bound in logbook. No person except an
authorized officer may remove any original white
logsheet of any logbook.
Goldenrod: The operator must submit to
observer after signature of operator and prior to
departure of observer from the vessel.
Green: Optional, but may be required by
International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC)
(see §§ 300.60 through 300.65). If required, the
operator must submit the green logsheet to the
IPHC representative after the vessel’s catch is
off-loaded.
The operator is no longer required to submit
yellow logsheets quarterly to NMFS, because the
catcher/processor is using eLandings.

RECORDING ACTIVE AND INACTIVE
TIME PERIODS IN THE DCPL
The operator must account for each day of the
fishing year, January 1 through December 31, in
the DCPL and indicate whether the catcher/
processor was active or inactive during the time
period. The operator must record time periods
consecutively.
The operator must record the following
information regardless of whether the
catcher/processor was active or inactive.
Page number.
Number the pages in each logbook consecutively,
beginning with page 1 for January 1 and
continuing throughout the logbook for the
remainder of the fishing year.
Vessel and permit information.
Name of catcher/processor as displayed in

Page 2 of 6

official documentation, FFP number, and Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G)
processor code.
Printed name and signature of operator.
The operator’s name must be printed in the
DCPL. The operator must sign each completed
logsheet of the DCPL as verification of
acceptance of the responsibility to provide
accurate and complete information.

REQUIRED INFORMATION, IF ACTIVE
A catcher/processor using longline or pot gear is
active when processing or when all or part of the
longline or pot gear is in the water.

Use a separate
logsheet to
record

Each day of an active
period
Each reporting area
where harvest occurred
Each separate
management program

REQUIRED INFORMATION, IF INACTIVE
An inactive period is a time period other than
active. If inactive, the operator must mark
“inactive” and record the following information
on one logsheet in the DCPL.
Inactive start date.
Record the date (mm/dd) of the first day when
inactive under “Start date.”
Why inactive.
Write brief explanation why inactive, e.g., bad
weather or equipment failure. If inactive due to
surrender of an FFP, write “surrender of permit”
as the reason for inactivity.
Inactive end date.
Record the date (mm/dd) of the last day when
inactive under “End date.”
Inactive two or more quarters.
If the inactive time period extends across two or
more successive quarters, the operator must
complete a logsheet for each inactive quarter. The
first logsheet must indicate the first and last day of
the first inactive quarter. Successive logsheets
must indicate the first and last day of its
respective inactive quarter.

If the catcher/processor is active, the operator
must record the following information for each
day per logsheet in the DCPL.
Other permit numbers (if applicable).
IFQ permit number of the operator, if any, and
each permit number of any IFQ permit on which
anyone aboard is authorized to fish; groundfish
CDQ group number; and halibut CDQ permit
number.
Reporting area.
Groundfish. Record the Federal reporting
area code (see Figures 1 and 3 to part 679) where
gear retrieval was completed, regardless of where
the majority of the set took place. Use a separate
logsheet for each reporting area.
IFQ halibut and CDQ halibut. Record the
IPHC regulatory area (see Figure 15 to part 679)
where gear retrieval was completed, regardless of
where the majority of the set took place.
CR crab. Leave this field blank.
Crew size.
Record the number of crew members (including
operator), excluding certified observer(s), on the
last day of the weekly reporting period.
