Respondents are fishermen holding
Fishing Vessel Capital Construction Fund (FVCCF) agreements. The
FVCCF is a tax-deferral program for fishing vessel construction,
acquisition or reconstruction. Information collected on the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Form 34-82
is used in checking for respondents' compliance with program
requirements and for inconsistencies in their reporting of program
related adjustments to their income. Deposit and withdrawal
information is also required, by statute, to be annually reported
to the Secretary of Treasury.
