The Interagency Electronic Reporting
System (IERS) is the result of a partnership between NMFS, Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), and International Pacific
Halibut Commission (IPHC). IERS minimizes the burden and maximizes
the utility of fisheries information created, collected,
maintained, used, disseminated, and retained. This action requires
that the operator of a catcher/processor placed in the partial
observer coverage category submit a catcher/processor landing
report, a new reporting requirement. The landing report would be
generated through eLandings by consolidating the daily production
reports for the period the vessel operator defines as the fishing
trip for purposes of observer coverage.
