Section C – Small Business Certification




As part of required analyses of the economic effects of rulemakings, The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) must determine if permit and license owners participating in the fishery are large or small businesses as defined by the Small Business Administration (SBA).


SBA has established size criteria for all major industry sectors in the US, including fish harvesting and fish processing businesses. The SBA also has established "principles of affiliation" to determine whether a business concern is "independently owned and operated": business concerns are affiliates of each other when one concern controls or has the power to control the other, or a third party controls or has the power to control both. NMFS is now using the following size standards:



Primary Business:


Fish Harvesting

Seafood Product Preparation and Packaging*

Fish and Seafood Wholesale

Nonprofit

Organizations

Small business size standard:

Combined annual receipts of $11 million or less for all affiliated operations worldwide.

Employs 750 or fewer persons on a full time, part time, temporary, or other basis, at all affiliated operations worldwide.

Employs 100 or fewer persons on a full time, part time, temporary, or other basis, at all affiliated operations worldwide.


Environmental, conservation, or professional organizations:

Combined annual receipts of $15 million or less.


Other organizations:

Combined annual receipts of $7.5 million or less.


*includes catcher/processors and motherships


Is your business or organization:

  • Independently owned and operated, and

  • not dominant in its field of operation (including any affiliates), and

  • considered small by the standards listed in the table above?
