INSTRUCTIONS


This form must be completed and submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) at the address given above to provide ownership information for individuals or businesses applying for or renewing: a quota share (QS) permit and account, a vessel account, a mothership (MS) permit, or a mothership catcher vessel (MS/CV) endorsed limited entry permit. Ownership interest information will assist NMFS in determining compliance with accumulation limits for ownership and control under the trawl rationalization program. Any individual or business applying for or renewing any of the above permits, accounts, or endorsements must document those individual persons that have an ownership interest in the amount of greater than or equal to 2 percent.

Please type or print legibly in ink. Attach additional sheets as necessary. Sign in ink, keep a copy for your records, and mail the original completed form to the address listed above.


Section A – Permit or Vessel Owner Identification


  • Field 1. Permit Number or Vessel Name and USCG or State Registered Vessel Number: If you are submitting an ownership interest form with an application or renewal for a QS permit and account, or a renewal for an MS permit or MS/CV endorsed limited entry permit, list the permit number. If you are submitting an ownership interest form with an application or renewal for a vessel account, please provide the name of the vessel and its USCG or state registered vessel number.


  • Fields 2-3. Legal Name of Permit or Vessel Owner and TIN or DOB: Enter the name of the business entity or individual that owns the permit or vessel. If a business entity, list tax identification number (TIN). If an individual person, list date of birth (DOB) using the format mm/dd/yyyy.


  • Field 4. State Registered In (if business): If a business entity, list the state where that entity was established and is currently recognized as active.


  • Field 5. Business Mailing Address: Enter the business mailing address, including street or PO Box number, city, state, and zip code where the item(s) should be sent. This information should match the information provided on the application or renewal form.

  • Field 6-8. Business Phone/Fax/Email: List the business telephone and fax numbers, including area codes; fax number and email are optional. This information should match the information provided on the application or renewal form.


Section BIdentification of Shareholders and Partners

The intent of Section B (Parts 1 and 2) is to identify all of the individuals who control the business and their percent of ownership interest. Use as many pages as needed to list each entity down to the individual level. Please note that only ownership interest for shareholders with greater than or equal to 2% ownership interest in the business entity must be reported.


  • Part 1 – first level

Part 1 must be filled with the business entities or individuals listed in Section A. List the TIN for business entities and the date of birth (DOB) for individuals. List the mailing address (if different than Section A), and the % ownership interest in the permit as listed in Section A. Please see examples below.

  • Part 2 – second level

If Part 1 included any business entities, Part 2 should be completed. For example, if Part 1 listed a business entity and an individual, only the business entity would need to be entered into Part 2. If the business entity is able to be listed to the individual level in Part 2, no further identification is needed. However, if Part 2 includes a business entity, you will need to list this ownership behind this entity. All business entities owning 2% or greater interest in the permit or vessel must be listed to the individual level. Please see examples below and print additional pages and write in “third level”, “fourth level”, etc. if needed.

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?

If you answered no to any of these questions, please check here:


You must check one box.


If you have any questions about these standards or the definition of affiliation, please call West Coast Regional Economist, Abigail Harley, at 206-526-4273.
