Billfish Certificate of Eligibility

OMB 0648-0216

PPersons who are first receivers of billfish, except for billfish landed in a Pacific state and remaining in the state of landing, are required to complete a Certificate of Eligibility for Billfish as a condition for the domestic trade of fresh and frozen billfish shipments. Dealers or processors who subsequently receive or possess billfish must retain a copy of the Certificate of Eligibility for Billfish while processing the billfish. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that Atlantic billfish are retained as a recreational resource, and that any billfish entering the commenrcial trade have not been harvested from the Atlantic Ocean management unit.
