Distribution Information
No Distributions available.
Access Constraints:Access is restricted to personnel authorized in accordance with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. A signed non-disclosure agreement must be on file for all authorized personnel. The APSD Data Request staff are the POC for non-disclosure forms.
Access to individual reports is restricted to NOAA employees and our partners who have signed non-disclosure agreements. Summary data may be made available based on the "rule of 3", i.e., there must be at least three entities included in a summary for the summary information to be made publically available. Data may be made available if there is no information included that could uniquely link the information to an individual entity (person, vessel operating unit, business, etc.).

Extents
Generally from the US/Canadian maritime boundary south to the Virginia/North Carolina maritime boundary, seaward to the perimeter of the EEZ (200 miles from shore).
2001-11-01 - 2009-11-01
Beginning in November 2001, vessels holding a limited-access Golden tilefish permit (Full-Time Tier 1, Full-Time Tier 2 or Part-Time) were required to submit trip-level catch reports via the NMFS IVR call-in system.
2009-11-01 - Present
Effective November 1, 2009, tilefish permit categories became open-access only (Commercial/Incidental or Party/Charter) and tilefish vessels must also fish under the authorization of an IFQ Allocation permit to possess more than the incidental trip limit. A vessel fishing under a tilefish IFQ Allocation Permit must submit a tilefish catch report by using the interactive voice response (IVR) phone line system within 48 hours after returning to port and offloading.

Access Information
Security Class: | Sensitive |
---|---|
Security Classification System: |
IVR reports are considered to be business confidential and may not be released without signed approval of the permit holder on record for the time period requested. |
Data Access Policy: |
Access to IVR data is governed by 50CFR600 - Confidentiality of Information. Access by state fishery management agency staff and Fisheries Management Council staff may be allowed through Memorandum of Understanding that are signed by the NE Regional Administrator and Directors of the State Agency or Councils that describe the need and uses of the data and list the individuals who will have access to the data. Contractors may be granted access provided they are working under contract to NOAA or a cooperating partner (state, Council, Commission) on a specific project under the oversight of a partner. |
Data Access Procedure: |
Contact POC to request access. |
Data Access Constraints: |
Access is restricted to personnel authorized in accordance with NOAA Administrative Order 216-100. A signed non-disclosure agreement must be on file for all authorized personnel. The APSD Data Request staff are the POC for non-disclosure forms. |
Data Use Constraints: |
Access to individual reports is restricted to NOAA employees and our partners who have signed non-disclosure agreements. Summary data may be made available based on the "rule of 3", i.e., there must be at least three entities included in a summary for the summary information to be made publically available. Data may be made available if there is no information included that could uniquely link the information to an individual entity (person, vessel operating unit, business, etc.). Individually identifiable information may not be released without written authorization from the provider or by court order. |

Data Quality
Representativeness: |
Data is considered representative of the Tilefish fishery. |
---|---|
Accuracy: |
IVR Reported data is considered a hail or 'best estimate' of what the vessel landed. Vessel Trip Reports or dealer reported data should be used for more accurate reporting totals. |
Completeness Report: |
IVR reported data can be considered complete within the boundaries of IVR reporting requirements. Vessel Trip Reports or dealer reported data should be used for more accurate reporting totals. |
Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
GARFO has established an "industry data investigation" (IDI) team whose responsibility is to investigate and correct data errors on GARFO's critical datasets including vessel trip reports, dealer reports, and various associated fishing activity reports. This includes IVR datasets. QC on these datasets is performed regularly since data is securely displayed on various web portals to its owners. JIRA is the tool used for tracking quality control. |
Data Management
Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: | Yes |
---|---|
Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: | Unknown |
Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: | Yes |
Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: | Yes |
If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate: | Not needed |
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: | 1 week |
Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: | NCEI-MD |
Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: | 1 month |
How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?: |
Access to this data is tightly controlled. Most access is read-only. Write access is given only after data owners have authorized (accompanied by a signed NDA), and data is usually edited via an access controlled application. Data is QAQC'd on a regular basis, and backed up both to disk and tape on a daily basis. |
Lineage
Lineage Statement: |
The IVR system is a telephone based reporting system which allows fishermen to call in data for their fishing activity. They authenticate with a permit number and PIN, then keypunch in responses to various questions. When the call is ended, data is automatically transmitted to GARFO databases. Data can then be edited or accessed via different methods, including direct table access, internal GUI access, internal fishtank access, and Fish Online access. GARFO has recently deployed a web interface for collecting this data, an optional method for fishermen to report. |
