Regulations implementing the Northeast

Molton, Fishery Management Specialist,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Northeast Multispecies Fishery
Management Plan (FMP) includes a
requirement for industry-funded
monitoring of catch by sector vessels.
Sectors must contract with independent
third-party service providers to provide
at-sea monitoring services to their
vessels. In order to provide at-sea
monitoring services to sectors,
monitoring companies must apply to,
and be approved by, NMFS. Once
approved, service providers must meet
specified performance requirements
outlined in 50 CFR 648.87(b)(4),
including required coverage levels, in
order to maintain eligibility.
At-Sea Monitoring Service Provider
Approval Process
Applications approved this year will
cover both fishing year 2019 and fishing
year 2020 (May 1, 2019, through April
30, 2021). There will be an opportunity
in 2019 for additional monitoring
companies to apply for approval to
provide services in fishing year 2020.
The regulations at § 648.87(b)(4)
describe the criteria for approval of atsea monitoring service providers. We
approve service providers based on: (1)
Completeness and sufficiency of
applications; and (2) determination of
the applicant’s ability to meet the
performance requirements of a sector
monitoring service provider. We must
notify service providers, in writing, if
approval is withdrawn for any reason.
Approved Monitoring Service Providers
We received complete applications
from four companies: A.I.S., Inc.; East
West Technical Services, LLC; Fathom
Research, LLC; and MRAG Americas,
Inc. These four companies were
previously approved for fishing years
2017 and 2018. In fishing year 2018, a
number of sectors have realized at-sea
monitoring coverage levels below the
target coverage level. We are working
with the approved providers and sectors
to increase coverage levels, and we have
scheduled additional at-sea monitor
certification trainings to increase
monitor staffing levels.
We approved all four companies to
provide at-sea monitoring services in
fishing years 2019 and 2020 because
they have met the application
requirements, documented their ability
to comply with service provider
standards, and have a sufficient track
record of providing at-sea monitoring
services. We expect providers will have
adequate staff and resources to fulfill
performance requirements during the
approval term. We will closely monitor
the performance of approved providers,
and we will be prepared to withdraw
approval during the current approval
term, or disapprove a provider in future
fishing years if we determine
performance standards are not being
met.
