The manager of a shoreside processor or stationary floating processor (SFP) is required to submit a check-in report (BEGIN
message) prior to participation in a groundfish fishery and to submit a check-out report (CEASE message) upon
completion of that participation. The check in/check out information is used by NMFS in-season managers to monitor the
fishing capacity and effort in fishery allocations and quotas.
A shoreside processor or SFP is active when receiving or processing groundfish. The manager of a shoreside processor or SFP must
submit to NMFS a check–in report (BEGIN message) prior to becoming active and a check–out report (CEASE message) for every
check–in report submitted.
The check–in report and check–out report must be submitted by fax to 907–586–7131.
