Abstract: This is a revision to include Catcher Processor (C/P) endorsed permit owners in collections of ownership interest information during the permit renewal and application process. Currently owners of Catcher Vessel and Mother Ship limited entry privilege permits in the Trawl Catch Share Program are required to submit Trawl Identification of Ownership Interest forms when renewing or applying for a permit. C/P endorsed vessel permit owners are organized under the at-sea C/P sector cooperative; each year the coop manager submits a cooperative permit application form identifying C/P endorsed permits owners. The proposed change would include all C/P endorsed vessel permit owners within the C/P coop sector to submit Trawl Identification of Ownership Interest forms with information at a similar level to other vessel permit owners participating in the Catch Share Program.
