OMB Control Number: 0648–0544.

Type of Request: Regular submission.

owners of vessels with valid permits
were required to install vessel
monitoring systems (VMS) on their
vessels. VMS units automatically send
periodic reports on the position of the
vessel. National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) uses the reports to
monitor the vessel’s location and
activities while enforcing area closures.
When a VMS is installed and turned on,
an activation checklist must be sent to
NMFS Office for Law Enforcement.
Every vessel that is required to have a
VMS unit must have that VMS unit on
and properly functioning at all times,
even when docked, and prior to each
fishing trip, or during a trip if activity
changes, a report of fishing activity must
be submitted to NMFS VMS personnel.
A power-down exemption request may
be submitted when boats are out of the
water, i.e., for maintenance/repairs in
drydock.
