Geographic Area 1

Generally from the US/Canadian maritime boundary south to the Virginia/North Carolina maritime boundary, seaward to the perimeter of the EEZ (200 miles from shore).

Time Frame 1
1961 - 1994-03-01

Dealers submitted reports to NMFS on a voluntary basis; paper reports were submitted on NOAA Form 88-30 or it's equivalent. A sub-set of the paper reports were augmented with catch and effort data, which were derived from interviews with vessel operators or based on Port Agent knowledge and experience.

Time Frame 2
1994-03-01 - 2004-05-01

Mandatory reporting was implemented for several species; non-permitted dealers continued to report on a voluntary basis. Concurrent with mandatory dealer reporting, mandatory vessel reporting was implemented. Reports submitted under the mandatory reporting requirements were no longer augmented with catch and effort data, and vessels were submitting that information through the Vessel Trip Report Program.

Time Frame 3
2004-05-01 - Present

Mandatory electronic reporting was implemented for federally permitted dealers. Dealers have the option of submitting electronic reports through the SAFIS system, the SCBI system, or via file upload.

To capture commercial fisheries landings, including economic information, from federally permitted fish dealers in the northeast.

Other Citation Details:

50 CFR 648.7

Supplemental Information:

Depending on the permits held and the time period of reporting, dealers may have submitted purchase reports using the weighout system (NOAA Form 88-30), the electronic reporting system, the Atlantic bluefin tuna reporting system, or the surfclam/ocean quahog reporting system. See each sub-section for details.

Access Information

Security Class: Confidential
Security Classification System:

Dealer reports are considered to be business confidential and may not be released without signed approval of the business owner on record for the time period requested.

Data Access Policy:

Access to dealer data is governed by 50CFR600 - Confidentiality of Information. Access by state fishery management agency staff and Fisheries Management Council staff may be allowed through Memorandum of Understanding that are signed by the NE Regional Administrator and Directors of the State Agency or Councils that describe the need and uses of the data and list the individuals who will have access to the data. Contractors may be granted access provided they are working under contract to NOAA or a cooperating partner (state, Council, Commission) on a specific project under the oversight of a partner.

Data Access Procedure:

Contact POC to request access.

Data Access Constraints:

Access is restricted to personnel authorized in accordance with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. A signed non-disclosure agreement must be on file for all authorized personnel. The APSD Data Request staff are the POC for non-disclosure forms.

Data Use Constraints:

Access to individual reports is restricted to NOAA employees and our partners who have signed non-disclosure agreements. Summary data may be made available based on the "rule of 3", i.e., there must be at least three entities included in a summary for the summary information to be made publically available. Data may be made available if there is no information included that could uniquely link the information to an individual entity (person, vessel operating unit, business, etc.). Individually identifiable information may not be released without written authorization from the provider or by court order.

Metadata Use Constraints:

There are no constraints on the use of the metadata associated with this program.
