For a person to participate in Federal
fisheries, the National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS) requires a Federal
Fisheries Permit (FFP), a Federal
Processor Permit (FPP), or an
Experimental Fisheries Permit (EFP).
NMFS Alaska Region created a set of
groundfish permits that operators of

Section 303(b)(1) of the MagnusonStevens Act specifically recognizes the
need for permit issuance. The
requirement of a permit for marine
resource users is one of the regulatory
steps taken to carry out conservation
and management objectives. The
issuance of a permit is an essential
ingredient in the management of fishery
resources needed for identification of
the participants and expected activity
