Prohibited Species Donation Program

OMB 0648-0316

OMB 0648-0316

A Prohibited Species Donation (PSD) Program for salmon and halibut has effectively reduced regulatory discards of salmon and halibut by allowing fish that would otherwise be discarded to be donated to needy individuals through tax-exempted organizations. Vessels and processing plants participating in the donation program voluntarily retain and process salmon and halibut bycatch. An authorized, tax-exempted distributor, chosen by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is responsible for monitoring the retention and processing of fish donated by vessels and processors. The authorized distributor also coordinates the processing, storage, transportation, and distribution of salmon and halibut. The PSD Program requires a collection-of-information so NMFS can monitor the authorized distributor's ability to effectively supervise program participants and ensure donated fish are properly processed, stored, and distributed. This request is to add one stationary floating processor as a participant in the donation program.
