vessel replacement, upgrade and permit
history applications for IFQ, Northern
Gulf of Maine (NGOM), and Incidental
Catch (IC) scallop vessels; submission of

for access areas; enrollment into the
state waters exemption program;
submission of requests for IFQ transfers;
payment of cost recovery bills for IFQ

and industry participants; and sector
operations plans for approved sector

Data collected through these programs
are incorporated into the NMFS

management program and future
management proposals.
