Vessel operators who wish to participate in the Treaty Fishery may submit expressions of interest in order to determine eligibility for the fishery, and must submit annual vessel license and registration (including registration of vessel monitoring system (VMS) units) applications and periodic written reports of catch and unloading of fish from licensed vessels. They are also required to ensure the continued operation of VMS units on board licensed vessels, which is expected to require periodic maintenance of the units. The license and registration application information is used to determine the operational capability and financial responsibility of vessel operators. Information obtained from vessel catch and unloading reports is used to assess fishing effort and fishery resources in the region and to track the E:\FR\FM\10DEN1.SGM 10DEN1
