DISCARD RATES AND IN‐SEASON DISCARD ESTIMATES. The Sector manager (or his/her designated 29 representative) will derive stock specific discards for each trip. If the trip is observed by either an at‐ 30 sea monitor or a Northeast Fisheries Observer Program (NEFOP) observer, discards will be derived 31 based on data collected during that trip and will account for all hauls (observed and unobserved) on 32 that trip. If the trip is not observed, discards will be derived using the NMFS‐provided discard rate 33 resulting from the NMFS method to estimate 'in‐season' discard rates, which may not include data 34 from research trips or sector trips using certain exemptions. 35
DISCARD RATES AND IN‐SEASON DISCARD ESTIMATES. The Sector will commence FY 2010 with discard rates provided by NMFS and will apply in‐season discard rates as provided by NMFS.

At the time of this submission, a Strawman proposing a different way to derive assumed discards for a sector that takes into account a more accurate representation of the diverse fishing practices of the Sectors has been submitted to the Agency for consideration. If after consultation and collaboration this idea is deemed feasible for the Sector and the Agency, for Fishing Year 2013-2014 this section will be updated accordingly for utilization in FY 2014-2015.
DISCARD RATES AND IN‐SEASON DISCARD ESTIMATES. The Sector manager (or his/her designated 22 representative) will derive stock specific discards for each trip. As specified by NMFS the 23 methodology for calculating discards will vary by monitoring type. 24
