If you need assistance in completing this report or need additional information, call: 907-586-7228
VMS ONBOARD.
The operator of a mothership is not required to submit to NMFS a check-in report or check-out report if the vessel is carrying onboard a
transmitting VMS that meets the requirements of § 679.28(f).
TRANSIT THROUGH REPORTING AREAS.
The operator of a mothership is not required to submit a check-in or check-out report if the vessel is transiting through a reporting area
and is not fishing or receiving fish.
TWO ADJACENT REPORTING AREAS
If on the same day a catcher/processor intends to fish in two adjacent reporting areas (an action which would require
submittal of check-out reports and check-in reports multiple times a day when crossing back and forth across a reporting area boundary),
and the two reporting areas have on that day and time an identical fishing status for every species, the operator must:
• Submit to NMFS a check-in report to the first area prior to entering the first reporting area, and
• Submit to NMFS a check-in report to the second area prior to entering the second reporting area.
• Remain within 10 nautical miles (18.5 km) of the boundary described in § 679.5(h)(2)(ii).
• Submit to NMFS a check-out report from the second area upon exiting that reporting area if the catcher/processor proceeds in
the second reporting area beyond 10 nautical miles (18.5 km) of the boundary between the two areas
COMPLETING THE REPORT
The operator of a mothership must record the following information on a check-in report and a check-out report, as appropriate.

Public reporting for this information collection is estimated to average 7 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing the instructions, searching the existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the information collection. All responses to this information collection are
mandatory and are required to manage commercial fishing efforts under 50 CFR part 679 and under section 402(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1801, et
