Vessel Registration and Fisheries Information System

The Sustainable Fisheries Act, passed in October 1996, added various amendments to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act). As a result, Section 401 of the Magnuson-Stevens Act requires the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) to deliver an implementation plan for a national fishing vessel registration and fisheries information system (System) in a Report to Congress. This notice outlines the approach taken by NMFS and its Federal, regional, state, and industry partners on behalf of the Secretary to develop the implementation plan required in the Report to Congress.
