Under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the
Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) has
the responsibility for the conservation
and management of marine fishery
resources. Much of this responsibility
has been delegated to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA)/National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).
Under this stewardship role, the
Secretary was given certain regulatory
authorities to ensure the most beneficial
uses of these resources. One of the
regulatory steps taken to carry out the
conservation and management
objectives is to collect data from users
of the resource.
Regulations at 50 CFR 648.11(g)
require observer service providers to
comply with specific requirements in
order to operate as an approved
provider in the Atlantic sea scallop
(scallop) fishery. Observer service
providers must comply with the
following requirements: Submit
applications for approval as an observer
service provider; formally request
observer training by the Northeast
Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP);
submit observer deployment reports and
biological samples; give notification of
whether a vessel must carry an observer

within 24 hours of the vessel owner’s
notification of a prospective trip;
maintain an updated contact list of all
observers that includes the observer
identification number; observer’s name
mailing address, email address, phone
numbers, homeports or fisheries/trip
types assigned, and whether or not the
observer is ‘‘in service.’’ The regulations
also require observer service providers
submit any outreach materials, such as
informational pamphlets, payment
notification, and descriptions of
observer duties as well as all contracts
between the service provider and
entities requiring observer services for
review to NMFS/NEFOP. Observer
service providers also have the option to
respond to application denials, and
submit a rebuttal in response to a
pending removal from the list of
approved observer providers. These
requirements allow NMFS/NEFOP to
effectively administer the scallop
observer program.
Affected Public: Business and other
for-profit organizations.
Frequency: Daily and on occasion.
Respondent’s Obligation: Mandatory.
