recover costs associated with the management, data collection and
analysis, and enforcement of these programs. The Trawl Program's cost
recovery program requires fish sellers to submit fees to fish buyers
who then submit those fees to NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS). Fish buyers must also submit information to NMFS on the volume
and value of harvested groundfish when submitting the fees. Information
is collected from monthly and annual reports as well as non-payment
documents when necessary.
This program is authorized under the Pacific coast groundfish
fishery regulations, trawl rationalization cost recovery program at 50
CFR 660.115.

profit.
