INSTRUCTIONS

FOR

ROCKFISH PROGRAM

EX-VESSEL VOLUME AND VALUE REPORT

This form must be submitted ONLINE.

A rockfish processor that receives and purchases landings of rockfish cooperative quota (CQ) must submit annually to

NMFS a complete Rockfish Ex-vessel Volume and Value Report, as described in §679.5(r)(10), for each reporting period

for which the rockfish processor receives rockfish CQ groundfish. All shoreside processors that buy fish from fishermen

must submit this information. NOTE, if no ex-vessel sale occurs (e.g., if the processor accepted fish for special

processing), do not include that sale.

The reporting period of the Rockfish Ex-vessel Volume and Value Report shall extend from May 1 through November 15

of the current year. The processor must include all pounds and associated value of any purchased landings.

The purpose of this report is to collect information from all buyers that operate as shoreside processors, so that NMFS

Sustainable Fisheries Division can establish a standard ex-vessel price. The standard price will be used to assess a fee

from permit holders.

The Rockfish Ex-vessel Volume and Value Report must be submitted on line and must be received by the NMFS

Regional Administrator no later than December 1 of the year in which the rockfish processor received the rockfish CQ

groundfish.

To submit a Rockfish Ex-vessel Volume and Value Report online, the rockfish processor must log in to

http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov using the Rockfish Processor's password and NMFS person ID. Instead of a signature, the

rockfish processor enters the NMFS ID and password and submits the report, which certifies that all information is true,

correct, and complete to the best of his or her knowledge and belief.
