collection are required to obtain or retain benefits and are required to manage commercial fishing efforts under 50 CFR part 679 and
under section 402(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C. 1801, et seq.) as amended by Public Law 109-479. Public reporting

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management
Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Purpose: NMFS uses the information provided in this application to determine eligibility for the applicant to receive Amendment
80 quota share (QS) and permit. An A80 QS permit authorizes the QS holder to participate in an A80 fishery. The primary purpose
for requesting the TIN is for the collection and reporting on any delinquent amounts arising out of such person’s relationship with
the government pursuant to the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-134). Personal information is
confidential and protected under the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Business information may be disclosed to the public.

Notice COMMERCE/NOAA-19, Permits and Registrations for the United States Federally Regulated Fisheries. NMFS posts some
information from this form on its public website (https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/). In addition, NMFS may share information
submitted on this application with other State and Federal agencies or fishery management commissions, including staff of the North
Pacific Fishery Management Council and Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. Other information is confidential under
section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act and NOAA Administrative Order 216-100, which sets forth procedures to protect
confidentiality of fishery statistics.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information is voluntary; however, failure to provide complete and accurate information will prevent
determination of eligibility for an A80 CQ permit.
