SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council will hold a

through an approved software application in preparation for required
commercial electronic reporting.

2021, beginning at 4 p.m. and concluding by 6 p.m. For details, see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher M. Moore, Ph.D., Executive
Director, Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, telephone: (302)
526-5255.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a Council-hosted eVTR training
workshop open to the public and targeted towards commercial operators.
Beginning on November 10, 2021, all commercial vessels with federal
permits for species managed by the Mid-Atlantic or New England Council
will be required to submit vessel trip reports (VTRs) electronically as
eVTRs within 48 hours of the end of a trip (unless required sooner as
with some sector allocations). This action does not change any other
existing requirements associated with VTRs. These changes were
[[Page 57639]]
recommended by the MAFMC and NEFMC in order to increase the timeliness
and availability of data submitted through VTRs, reduce the reporting
burden on commercial vessel operators, and increase the accuracy and
quality of data. The training workshop will review step by step
instructions for filling out an eVTR using an approved software
application.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids
