Overview of Observer Fees Alaska Region

New Observer Program Full Coverage At least 100% coverage on every trip Vessels pays daily observer cost (“pay as you go”) Partial Coverage NMFS deploys observers (industry doesn’t pick the trips) Annual Deployment Plan: describes how NMFS will deploy observers into partial coverage fleet Can change each year Coverage rates: depends on funds Program funded by 1.25% fee on landings Everyone pays, whether they are chosen to take an observer or not U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 2

Full Coverage Cost = Pay As You Go Full Coverage Vessels: All CPs* All Motherships CVs when participating in catch share program with transferable PSC: AFA & CDQ pollock in BS CDQ groundfish, except for pot & jig Checked into GOA Rockfish Program Full Coverage Processors: when receiving BS pollock U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 3 *With 3 exceptions

Partial Coverage Processing Plants: In 2013, plant observers will monitor GOA pollock offloads to count & obtain genetic samples of salmon bycatch Vessels: 2 partial coverage deployment methods 1.Vessel-selection 2.Trip-selection U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 4

Fees Each year, NMFS publishes standard price by port, species, and gear (standard ex-vessel value) 1.25% fee applied to each all landings Fee liability split 50/50 between processor & vessel Estimate of fee will be displayed in eLandings Final fee invoice Jan 15 each year Fees due Feb 15 If fees are not paid, renewal of FFP or Registered Buyer permits may not approved Annual FFP & RB permits (instead of 3-years) U.S. Department of Commerce | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | NOAA Fisheries | Page 5
