Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
Standard prices are generated for cost recovery programs in the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) halibut and sablefish, BSAI Rationalized crab, and Central Gulf of Alaska Rockfish Program fisheries and for the North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut Fisheries Observer Program. Standard prices will be generated for American Fisheries Act (AFA) pollock, Aleutian Islands pollock, Amendment 80, and Community Development Quota (CDQ) fisheries beginning in 2016. Standard prices are determined from industry reported volume and value reports or the State of Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) Gross Earnings data which are based on the Alaska Department of Fish and Game fish tickets and Commercial Operator's Annual Reports (COAR).
Notes: Only a maximum of 4000 characters will be included.
Notes: Data collection is considered ongoing if a time frame of type "Continuous" exists.
Notes: All time frames from all extent groups are included.
Alaska, North Pacific, Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands, BSAI, Gulf of Alaska, GOA
Notes: All geographic areas from all extent groups are included.
(e.g., digital numeric data, imagery, photographs, video, audio, database, tabular data, etc.)
(e.g., satellite, airplane, unmanned aerial system, radar, weather station, moored buoy, research vessel, autonomous underwater vehicle, animal tagging, manual surveys, enforcement activities, numerical model, etc.)

Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. The support role must be in effect.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Metadata Contact" is used. This field is required if applicable.
3. Responsible Party for Data Management
Program Managers, or their designee, shall be responsible for assuring the proper management of the data produced by their Program. Please indicate the responsible party below.
Notes: The name of the Person of the most recent Support Role of type "Data Steward" is used. The support role must be in effect.
4. Resources
Programs must identify resources within their own budget for managing the data they produce.
5. Data Lineage and Quality
NOAA has issued Information Quality Guidelines for ensuring and maximizing the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information which it disseminates.
(describe or provide URL of description):
Lineage Statement:
Lineage for standard prices depends on the program for which the standard prices are determined and the source data of ex-vessel or first wholesale prices.
In the IFQ halibut/sablefish program, the ex-vessel volume and value reports are submitted through eFish, NMFS' online application. Volume and value data are loaded into the NMFS Oracle database. Standard prices are calculated from the volume and value data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database.
In the BSAI rationalized crab fisheries, the ex-vessel volume and value reports are submitted through eFish, NMFS' online application. Volume and value data are loaded into the NMFS Oracle database. Standard prices are calculated from the volume and value data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database.
In the CGOA Rockfish program, the ex-vessel volume and value reports are submitted through eFish, NMFS' online application. Volume and value data are loaded into the NMFS Oracle database. Standard prices are calculated from the volume and value data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database.
For the North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut Observer Program, standard prices for halibut IFQ or CDQ, sablefish IFQ, and sablefish accruing against the fixed gear sablefish CDQ reserve will be calculated from the volume and value report submitted for the IFQ halibut/sablefish program. For groundfish, the State of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission's (CFEC) gross revenue data are obtained from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN). These data are stored on NMFS' Oracle databases. Standard prices are calculated from the gross revenue data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database.
For the American Fisheries Act (AFA) pollock, Aleutian Islands pollock (AIP), and CDQ Bering Sea pollock, the State of Alaska's Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission's (CFEC) gross revenue data are obtained from the Alaska Fisheries Information Network (AKFIN). These data are stored on NMFS' Oracle databases. Standard prices are calculated from the gross revenue data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database. For Amendment 80 (A80) and Community Development Quota (CDQ) Pacific cod, a Pacific cod volume and value report is submitted through eFish, NMFS' online application. Volume and value data are loaded into the NMFS Oracle database. Standard prices are calculated from the volume and value data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database. For CDQ halibut and sablefish, the standard prices calculated for observer program fees will be used. A first wholesale volume and value report will be submitted using eFish, NMFS' online application, for the remaining groundfish species subject to cost recovery fees. Volume and value data are loaded into the NMFS Oracle database. Standard prices are calculated from the volume and value data and also stored in NMFS' Oracle database.
(describe or provide URL of description):
Authentication and authorization are required in order for the representatives of registered buyers, registered crab receivers, cooperative quota permit holders, Amendment 80 and CDQ catcher/processors, and shoreside processors or motherships to submit volume and value data through eFish, NMFS' online application. Established business rules validate the information submitted.
NMFS staff review the standard prices after they have been calculated and publish them in the Federal Register for public review.
6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
Standard price data may be sensitive under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act (2007) and can only be shared with authorized persons or in summary format for public dissemination.
Notes: The name of the Organization of the most recent Support Role of type "Distributor" is used. The support role must be in effect. This information is not required if an approved access waiver exists for this data.
Notes: This field is required if a Distributor has not been specified.

Notes: All URLs listed in the Distribution Info section will be included. This field is required if applicable.
Access to sensitive data shall only be granted to an individual that meets certain criteria. Access can only be granted to an individual if a signed and effective Confidentiality Agreement, Data Access Sharing Agreement, Memorandum of Understanding, Standard Statement of Nondisclosure, or similar agreement is in place. These signed agreements shall indicate that individuals have reviewed and understand the provisions in the manual governing the legal use of sensitive data. The signed agreements are maintained by the Alaska Regional Records office. The name of each individual that has signed a statement of nondisclosure for using sensitive data will be added to the Alaska Region list of authorized confidential data users.
Notes: This field is required if applicable.
