Additional capabilities beyond those stated here are acceptable, provided that the minimum requirements are satisfied. 4.2.1. A form is defined as: (a) 1–40 characters describing the form, (b) Delivery address (i.e., e-mail or other network identifier), (c) Form number as defined by NMFS to uniquely identify the form, (d) Form version number (numeric with one decimal place; i.e., 1.2), and (e) a collection of 1–30 fields and associated logic rules. 4.2.2. Each field (within a form) is defined by the following elements. Except where noted, all elements of the field definition are mandatory: (a) Label (0 to 40 characters, alpha numeric), (b) Context Help Text (0 to 200 characters, alpha numeric), (c)Type (Either; enumeration, numeric, alpha, alphanumeric or Boolean), (d) Default Value, (e) Optional/Mandatory/Hidden/ Logic indicator, (f) Min/Max values (for numeric fields only) in range 0.000 to 999,999, (g) Decimal places (for numeric fields only) 0–3, and (h) Min/Max characters (for alpha/alphanumeric fields only). 4.2.3. Up to 100 code/value/help text pairs (enumerations only) must be provided, where codes are defined as 1– 20 alphanumeric characters, values are 1–80 alphanumeric characters and help text is 0–200 characters. Such fields are typically used to permit a user to select from a range of options (i.e., geographic areas, gear types, fish species). Codes are used to compress the form data for efficient transmission. Help text would typically be displayed only when the user selects a specific value from the enumeration. 4.2.4. Form Validation: Each field must be defined as; Optional, Mandatory or Logic Driven. Mandatory fields must be entered by the user before the form is complete, optional fields that do not require data entry, and logic driven fields have their attributes determined by earlier form selections. Specifically; it must be possible for selection of an enumeration to change the optional/mandatory setting, min/ max values, or the permitted enumeration values on a later field within the same form. 4.2.5. State Information: The capability to populate a form based on the last values used must be available. This provides the user with an easy mechanism to ’modify’ or ’update’ a prior submission - without unnecessary re-entry of data. The user must be able to review a minimum of 20 past form submissions and ascertain for each form when the form was transmitted and whether delivery was successfully completed to the vendor’s processing VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:12 Oct 26, 2005 Jkt 208001 center. In the case of a transmission failure, the user must be provided with details of the cause and have the opportunity to retry the form submission. 4.2.6. Inclusion of VMS Position Report: In addition to the manually entered fields, the forms package must permit the inclusion of VMS position report fields such as latitude, longitude, date and time. Such fields must be obtained from the GPS function of the MTU and transmitted along with the manually entered form data within the same transaction. 4.2.7. Delivery Format for Form Data: It is preferred that form data be transferred from the terminal to NMFS using the same transport as for either text messages or VMS position reports (the selected option to be at the election of the E-MTU vendor). Currently supported protocols for transfer are; FTP, SMTP, XML and HTTP Post. The field coding within the data must follow either CSV or XML formatting rules. For CSV format the form must contain an identifier and the version number, and then the fields in the order defined on the form. In the CSV format strings that may contain ’’,’’ (comma) characters must be quoted. XML representations must use the field label to define the XML element that contains each field value. Section 5. Customer Service The MTU supplier or its designated entities shall provide customer service that is professional, courteous, and responsive. It should provide MTU diagnostic and troubleshooting support to OLE and the fishermen. No services shall be billed to any NOAA or OLE office without being specifically contracted for in writing by an authorized entity. Services shall include: 5.1. Service level, warranty, and maintenance agreements. Clarify constraints, if any, on the geographic territory, personnel availability, and escalation procedures for problem resolution covered by such services. 5.2. Facilities and procedures in place to assist the fisherman in maintaining and repairing their MTU, including response and general system turn around time. 5.3. Help in the determination and isolation of the cause of communications anomalies. 5.4. Assist in the resolution of communications anomalies that are traced to the MTU. 5.5. All services will be considered to be free of charge unless specifically listed in service or purchase agreements. PO 00000 Frm 00010 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Section 6. Other Information 6.1. The MTU must have the durability and reliability necessary to provide acceptable service in a marine environment where the unit may be subjected to saltwater (spray) in smaller vessels, and in larger vessels where the unit may be maintained in a wheelhouse. The unit, cabling and antenna must be resistant to moisture and shock associate with the marine environments. 6.2. The MTU must comply with any additional requirements specified in the regulations for the VMS implementation for which application is made. The requestor must review the applicable NMFS rules requiring the use of VMS and respond here to any specific requirements listed therein. 6.3. All personally identifying information provided by vessels owners or other authorized personnel for the purchase or activation of MTU or EMTU, or for the participation in any NMFS VMS-approved fishery must be protected from unauthorized disclosure. Personally identifying information includes, but is not limited to, names, addresses, telephone numbers, social security account numbers, credit card numbers, vessel names, federal, state, and local documentation numbers, email addresses, and crew lists. Any information sent electronically to the OLE must be transmitted by a secure means that prevents interception, spoofing, or viewing by unauthorized individuals. Any release of such information must be requested and approved in writing by the vessel owner or authorized personnel, or the OLE.
