salmon and halibut by allowing fish that
would otherwise be discarded to be
donated to needy individuals through
tax-exempt organizations. Vessels and
processing plants participating in the
donation program voluntarily retain and
process salmon and halibut bycatch. An
authorized, tax-exempt 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 an information collection so
that NMFS can monitor the authorized
distributors’ ability to effectively
supervise program participants and
ensure that donated fish are properly
processed, stored, and distributed.
