SECTION 7—SMALL BUSINESS CERTIFICATION
Please use the following tool to determine if you are classified as a small business and check the appropriate box(es) below.
When proposing regulations, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is required to analyze the economic effects of such regulations on
small entities (e.g., businesses). As part of the required analyses, NMFS must determine if permit owners are big or small entities according to
standards established by the Small Business Administration (SBA) or NMFS. Only one standard applies to each entity. For businesses, the standard
is based on their primary North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code, which indicates the industry the business is primarily en‐
gaged in. The SBA also has established “principles of affiliation” to determine whether a business concern is “independently owned and operat‐
ed.” In general, businesses are affiliates of each other when one business controls or has the power to control the other business or a third party
controls or has the power to control both.
We are a small organization that is a nonprofit enterprise that is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
We are a business primarily involved in harvesting seafood (NAICS 114111, 114112, or 114119) that is independently owned and operated, not
dominant in its field of operation (including its affiliates), and has total annual gross receipts less than $11 million for all its affiliated operations
worldwide.
We are a business primarily involved in providing for‐hire (charter, party/headboat) fishing services (NAICS 487210) that has total annual
gross receipts less than $7.5 million for all its affiliated operations worldwide.
We are a business primarily involved in buying and selling seafood (NAICS 424460) that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in
its field of operation, and employs 100 or fewer persons on a full time, part time, temporary, or other basis, at all its affiliated operations world‐
wide.
Our business primarily involved in processing seafood (NAICS 311710). it is independently owned and operated, not dominant in its field of
Our business is primarily involved in some other industry. Please refer to SBA’s list of size standards by NAICS code
(see https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/files/Size_Standards_Table.xlsx) to determine if your business is small.

YES, we marked one of the above boxes and we are a small business or organization.
NO, we did not mark one of the above boxes and are a big business or organization.
If you have any questions about these standards or the definition of affiliation, please contact Mike Travis, SERO Economist, at
[email protected] or call 727-209-5982.
