If I need to amend submitted reports, why do I have to make separate amendments: both through the eLandings system; and for the IFQ portion, through NOAA Data Clerks?
All data reported through eLandings are received into large data collection repository, and from there it is distributed to the management agencies like NOAA and ADF&G. The “master” or “fish ticket” information may be amended through eLandings; but once NOAA receives the information, it is posted to your IFQ and IPQ permit accounts and is also used in computing vessels caps, etc. IFQ and IPQ accounts are subject to change through quota transfers and therefore must be carefully changed by hand if revisions must be made after the fact. This will help ensure, for example, that a report amendment does not trigger an apparent fishery violation when none has occurred.
