All hook-and line, longline pot, and
pot-and-line marker buoys carried on
board or used by any vessel regulated
under 50 CFR part 679 must be marked
with the vessel’s Federal Fisheries
Permit number or Alaska Department of
Fish and Game vessel registration
number. Regulations that marker buoys
be marked with identification
information are essential to facilitate
fisheries enforcement and actions
concerning damage, loss, and civil
proceedings. The ability to link fishing
gear to the vessel owner or operator is
crucial to enforcement of regulations.
Longline Pot Gear Vessel Registration
and Tags
A vessel owner using longline pot
gear to fish for IFQ sablefish in the GOA
must annually register their vessel with
the National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS) and be assigned pot tags for that
vessel. Each pot tag is printed with a
unique serial number for identification,
and is specific to the IFQ regulatory area
to which the tag is registered and where
the pot gear will be fished. A valid pot
tag must be securely attached to each
pot used to fish for IFQ sablefish in the
GOA.
Vessel owners submit the form
‘‘Vessel Registration and Request for
IFQ Sablefish Pot Gear Tags’’ to
annually register their vessels and to
request new pot tags if a vessel does not
have previously issued tags. Tags
assigned to a vessel in previous years
are valid as long as the tag can be
secured to a pot and the serial number
is legible. Vessel owners submit the
form ‘‘Request for Replacement of
Longline Pot Gear Tags’’ if previously
issued tags need to be replaced.
NMFS requires all vessel operators
using longline pot gear in the GOA
sablefish IFQ fishery to complete
logbooks (see OMB Control Numbers
0648–0213). When the number of pots
