Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA), which require the Secretary of
Commerce to commence improvements
to recreational fisheries surveys,
including establishing a national
saltwater angler and for-hire vessel
registry, by January 1, 2009. A final rule
that includes regulatory measures to
implement the Registry Program (RIN
0648–AW10) was adopted and codified
in 50 CFR 600, Subpart P.
The Registry Program collects
identification and contact information
from those anglers and for-hire vessels
who are involved in recreational fishing
in the United States Exclusive Economic
Zone or for anadromous fish in any
waters, unless the anglers or vessels are
exempted from the registration
requirement. Data collected includes:
For anglers: Name, address, date of
birth, telephone contact information and
region(s) of the country in which they
fish; for for-hire vessels: Owner and
operator name, address, date of birth,
telephone contact information, vessel
name and registration/documentation
number and home port or primary
operating area. This information is
compiled into a national and/or series of
regional registries that is being used to
support surveys of recreational anglers
and for-hire vessels to develop estimates
of recreational angling effort.

Qatar—F–15QA Construction,
Cybersecurity, and Force Protection
Infrastructure
The Government of Qatar has
requested support of its F–15QA multirole fighter aircraft program to include
design and construction services, new
parking/loading ramps, hot cargo pads,
taxiways, hangars, back shops, alert
facilities, weapons storage areas,
hardened shelters, squadron operations
facilities, maintenance facilities,
training facilities, information
technology support and cyber facilities,

cybersecurity services, mission critical
computer resources, support services,
force protection services, and other
related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated cost is
$1.1 billion.
This proposed sale supports the
foreign policy and national security
objectives of the United States. Qatar is
an important force for political stability
and economic progress in the Persian
Gulf region. Our mutual defense
interests anchor our relationship and
the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) plays
a predominant role in Qatar’s defense.
The proposed sale improves Qatar’s
capability to operate and sustain its F–
15QA aircraft. A robust construction,
cybersecurity, and force protection
infrastructure is vital to ensuring the
QEAF partners can utilize the F–15QA
aircraft to its full potential. Qatar will
have no difficulty absorbing this
support into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this
construction, cybersecurity, and force
protection infrastructure will not alter
the basic military balance in the region.
The prime contractor for construction,
cybersecurity, and force protection
infrastructure will be determined
through competition. The purchaser
typically requests offsets. Any offset
agreement will be defined in
negotiations between the purchaser and
the contractor.
Implementation of the construction,
cybersecurity, and force protection
aspects of this notification include the
establishment of a construction office in
Doha with as many as ten (10) U.S.
Government civilians which will adjust
in size as case workload varies.
Anticipated contractor footprint for this
effort is approximately fifteen (15) to
fifty (50) personnel, which may vary

based on phases of construction and
establishment of required services.
There will be no adverse impact to
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
