Topics will include modifications to landing transaction and landing notification requirements, price reporting, offloading requirements, and other administrative procedures. Price reporting problems associated with submission of ex-vessel, share, and allocation price data are hindering NOAA Fisheries from fully evaluating the economic effects of the IFQ program. NOAA Fisheries is seeking input from fishermen, dealers, and other constituents on ways to improve price reporting.
NOAA Fisheries is also seeking input on procedural changes to landing notifications, landing transactions, offloading requirements, and other measures intended to enhance IFQ enforcement. Constituents are asked to provide recommendations for consideration at the workshops, by e-mail to SER-IFQ.Support@noaa.gov, or by calling IFQ Customer Service.
