Abstract: The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) requires that the Secretary of Commerce maintain a cost recovery program to cover part of the management, data collection, and enforcement costs of the limited access privilege programs, such as the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery's Trawl Rationalization Program. This cost recovery program requires fish sellers to submit fees to fish buyers. Fish buyers then submit those fees to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and include information about the volume and value of groundfish.
