Abstract: The Buying station report (BSR) has been transferred from OMB Control NO. 0648-0213 (in the 2015 revision) and is being operationally replaced with a processor tender interface called tLandings which is accessed through eLandings. Records created on a computer onboard a tender during deliveries from catcher vessels are transferred to a thumb drive and delivered with the catch to the processor. The records on the thumb drive are uploaded by the processor. For a description of this thumb drive operation, go to: https://elandings.atlassian.net/wiki/display/doc/Processor+Tender+Interface+Users+Guide.
