commercial fishermen may file claims
for compensation for losses of, or
damage to, fishing gear or vessels, plus
50 percent of resulting economic losses,

obtain compensation, applicants must
comply with requirements set forth in

The requirements include a ‘‘report’’
within 15 days of the date the vessel
first returns to port after the casualty

damage.
The report is NOAA Form 88–166 and

as: Respondent’s name; address; social
security number; and casualty location.
The information in the report is usually
completed by NOAA during a telephone
call with the respondent.
The application is NOAA Form 88–
164 and it requires the respondent to
provide information on the property and
economic losses and/or damages
including type of damage; purchase date
and price of lost/damaged gear; and
income from recent fishing trips. It also
includes an affidavit by which the
applicant attests to the truthfulness of
the claim.
II. Method of Collection
Respondents may telephone NOAA
and provide the information for the
report verbally or submit a paper or
electronic report. Respondents have a
choice of either electronic or paper
forms for the application.
