Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council will hold a
webinar question-and-answer session for stakeholders regarding
electronic vessel trip reporting (eVTR) after the recent implementation
of required commercial electronic reporting.
DATES: The question-and-answer session will be held via webinar on
Thursday, November 18, 2021, beginning at 5 p.m. For details, see
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
ADDRESSES: This meeting will be held via webinar and connection and
agenda information will be posted at the MAFMC's website:
<a href="http://www.mafmc.org">www.mafmc.org</a>.
Council address: Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, 800 N
State Street, Suite 201, Dover, DE 19901; telephone: (302) 674-2331;

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 question and
answer session 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 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. This meeting follows multiple Council
held training workshops and will act as an opportunity for follow up
questions regarding using an approved eVTR software application.
Special Accommodations
This meeting is physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Requests for sign language interpretation or other auxiliary aids
should be directed to Shelley Spedden at the Mid-Atlantic Council
Office (302) 526-5251 at least 5 days prior to the meeting date.
