Access Information

Security Class: Sensitive
Security Classification System:

Password Restricted. Rule of 3: Data summaries must include at least 3 dealers to be considered non-sensitive. See:

NOAA FORM 58-5 (1-84) TRANSMITTAL 127,

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

NOAA Administrative Order 216-100

NOAA ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER SERIES

Date of Issuance: July 26, 1994

Security Handling Description:

Sensitive data may only be released to entities having a signed non-disclosure agreement on file with the Director of the Information Resources Management Division (IRMD). Otherwise, sensitivity may be suppressed by the following methods used for aggregation of sensitive data:

Data that are submitted as sensitive can be released to the public under the following circumstances:

1. Combined or aggregated data. Sensitive data can be released if the data are aggregated or summarized in a manner that prevents the identification of the person or organization that submitted the data. The "rule of three" and identification of majority allocations" are the primary data suppression methods.

2. Obscure (scramble) or remove the data identifier. For some types of data, sensitive data Can be released as non-sensitive if the identity of the person, vessel, company, etc. that submitted the data is not included or is scrambled as part of the data that are released.

3. Submitter. Sensitive data collected under federal authority Can be released to the original entity (person, vessel, business, etc.) that submitted the data.

4. Sensitive data waived. The protection of sensitive data can be waived by the person or business that submitted the data.

Data Access Policy:

See NOAA Administrative Order 216-100

NOAA ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER SERIES

Date of Issuance: July 26, 1994

Data Access Procedure:

These standards and procedures apply to all employees of the SEFSC that need access to sensitive fisheries statistics. This includes full time or term employees, contractors, volunteers, and/or other employees associated with the SEFSC, but not directly employed by either organization. Any SEFSC employee that needs or desires access to sensitive data must have read NOA 216-100 and submitted a signed nondisclosure statement to the Director, Information Resources Management Division (IRMD). The non-disclosure statement must be approved by the Director of IRMD and maintained on file by IRMD. It is the responsibility of the Director of IRMD to certifY upon request, that a person or organization that requests access to sensitive data is authorized access to those data. All employees that have access to and/or use sensitive data (federal and non-federal) are responsible to protect those data from unauthorized access or release. Contractors or grantees that have an agreement with NMFS can be granted

access to sensitive data as an authorized user (See NOA 216-100 1 Section 6.03e). It should be clearly understood that sensitive data cannot be released simply by an individual signing a nondisclosure statement. There must be a clear and demonstrable need for the sensitive data that are requested as part of a contract or grant. Sensitive data can only be released for the specific contract or grant. Upon completion of the contract or grant, the recipient must either return the data or state that it has been destroyed. The contractor or grantee cannot use the data for any purpose other than the uses stated in the agreement. The Contracting Officers Technical Representative (COTR) or the Technical Monitor (TM) that has been assigned to the contract or grant, respectively, has the following? responsibilities:

1. The COTR/TM has the responsibility to determine whether the contractor/grantee is eligible to receive the sensitive data that are requested in the agreement.

2. The COTR/TM has the responsibility to assure that all persons included in the agreement have read NOA 2l6-l00 and have signed a nondisclosure statement. A statement must be signed by each person that will have access to the sensitive data under the agreement, i.e., a blanket statement cannot be used for the company or firm. The COTR/TM also has the responsibility to make sure that the Director, IRMD has signed and approved the nondisclosure statement and the statement is on file with IRMD.

3. The COTR/TM has the responsibility to assure that sensitive data are not released in any publication, report, oral presentation, or other means to the public by the contractor or grantee.

Data Access Constraints:

To access sensitive data a completed non-disclosure agreement must be on file with NOAA-SEFSC. Otherwise Data that are submitted as sensitive can be released to the public under the following circumstances:

The "rule of three" and identification of majority allocations" are the primary data suppression methods.

2. Obscure (scramble) or remove the data identifier. For some types of data, senstive data Can be released as non-sensitve if the identity of the person, vessel, company, etc. that submitted the data is not included or is scrambled as part of the data that are released.

3. Submitter. Sensitive data collected under federal authority Can be released to the original entity (person, vessel, business, etc.) that submitted the data.

4. Sensitive data waived. The protection of sensitive data can be waived by the person or business that submitted the data.

Gear Code Additions and Edits Made to GEAR_LIST, DIALECT_GEAR_LIST, TRIP_GEAR_TYPE_GEAR

Gear Code HL_POW was replaced by HL_TROLL in lookups and data. (The spanish name is SILGA for trolling hook and line). HL_POW_REEL was added to (spanish name is MALACATE for hook and line, electric reel). HL_HAND code gear name ('HAND') was renamed 'HANDLINE' in lookup and 'CORDEL DE MANO' in dialect lookup. Bottom Longline (CODE HL_BLL) was renamed (PALANGRE DE FONDO)IN dialect lookup. Drift Longline (code HL_DLL) was renamed (PALANGRE horizontal DE superfecie) IN dialect lookup. Vertical Longline (code HL_VLL) was renamed (PALANGRE vertical) IN dialect lookup. HL_BUOY (yo-yo) was dropped from dialect list. New code 'HL_BOTTOM' (Bottom Fishing Hook and Line) was added to lookup and listed as 'CALA' in dialect list. Another gear code addition: GILL_NET_BOTT for Gill Nets Fished on or near the sea bottom. Translates to Trasmallo in dialect list for SP01. The code of GILL_NET, named SURFACE GILL NET, was retained for surface gill nets and translates now to FILETE in dialect list for SP01. 2011-11-23 16:21:17

Description:

New Maintain Fisher Feature: Inactivate Fisher

Detail This new feature will allow users of CCL to inactivate a fisher (e.i. expire their profile). When to do this? When a fisher is assigned a permit number which is being used by a someone else. If a permit number is reused by a different fisher, this feature allows the users to inactivate the old user and issue the permit number to a new/active fisher. System restriction: Only one ACTIVE users can have a permit number for an island.

New feature summary:

=> Ability to make a fisher inactive/active)

=> When searching, see active/inactive status of a user

=> Reuse permit numbers when prior user is inactive

Some Database changes.

p_l_fisher_permit includes: is_inactive

p_f_fisher_permit includes: is_inactive and max_trip_dt

p_u_fisher_permit input: v_is_inactive = 1 to inactivate user

Issues

Issue 1

CC ID: 389062
Issue Date: 2017-03-27
Author: Bennett, Joshua
Issue:

Non-compliance. Not all fishers report. Because of this 'correction factors' are issued by Puerto Rico to account for the non-reporting. These factors, even though they are applied on a detail level are only truly applicable by yearly summary from 1983 - 1992. From 1993 - 2015 they were applied by year and coast, although expansion by year and fishing center were possible from 2007 and more recent. At this time the survey method is being reviewed as well as the compliance issue which is at the root of the problem.
