(Print Full Applicant Name)

I _____________________________ certify that I will remove all components of the aquaculture facility, including cultured animals remaining in allowable aquaculture systems, from the Gulf EEZ if it is discovered that the organisms are genetically engineered or transgenic, that a World Organization of Animal Health (OIE)‑reportable pathogen or pathogen identified as reportable in the National Aquatic Animal Health Plan is found at the facility, or there are any other violations of the permit conditions or regulations which causes NOAA Fisheries to order such removal.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

1. The following information must be submitted with a new application:

1. Copy of a baseline environmental survey survey and all other field surveys of the proposed site. Baseline Environmental SurveyG guidance can be found at: http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sustainable_fisheries/gulf_fisheries/aquaculture/.

2. Documentation certifying the applicant has posted an assurance bond sufficient to cover the costs of removal of all components of the aquaculture facility, including cultured animals remaining in allowable aquaculture systems, from the Gulf EEZ. Assurance Bond guidance can be found at: http://sero.nmfs.noaa.gov/sustainable_fisheries/gulf_fisheries/aquaculture/.

3. Copy of an emergency disaster plan, developed for and to be used by the aquaculture facility, that includes, but is not limited to, procedures for preparing or if necessary removing allowable aquaculture systems, aquaculture equipment, and cultured organismsanimals in the event of disaster (e.g., hurricane, tsunami, harmful algal bloom, chemical or oil spill, etc.).

4. Documentation certifying the applicant has posted an assurance bond sufficient to cover the costs of removal of all components of the aquaculture facility, including cultured organisms remaining in allowable aquaculture systems, from the Gulf EEZ. If an applicant provides certification that a bond has already been posted as a requirement of the ACOE or other authority and that the bond is sufficient to cover the costs of removal of all components of the aquaculture facility, including cultured organisms as required by NOAA Fisheries, a separate bond may not be necessary. Costs associated with removal of oil and gas platforms are not covered under the assurance bond requirement. Assurance Bond guidance can be found at:

5. Copy of a contractual arrangement with an aquatic animal health expert to provide services to the aquaculture facility.
