Fishing permit numbers are assigned an affiliation identification number which combines permits into owner groups depending on who is listed as the permit owner and what other permits these individuals may own (or partially own). Revenue information is also included. These data are used in the preparation of Regulatory Flexibility Analyses which require classifying business entities (thus the need for affiliating vessels) as either large or small businesses (thus the need for revenue data). completed Kitts, Andrew 508-495-4702 15 Carlson Lane Falmouth MA 02540 USA andrew.kitts@noaa.gov pointOfContact Lee, Min-Yang A 508-495-4704 15 Carlson Lane Falmouth MA 02540 USA min-yang.lee@noaa.gov custodian annually Permit data Regulatory Flexibility Analyses vessel owner affiliation theme June 1 annual temporal Northeast Region place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/NEFSC > Northeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
