standardized reporting methodology
(a) Definitions. In addition to the definitions in the Magnuson-Stevens Act and 600.10, standardized reporting methodology means an established, consistent procedure or procedures used to collect, record, and report bycatch data in a fishery, which may vary from one fishery to another. Bycatch assessment is not part of the standardized reporting methodology, but must be considered as described in 600.1610(a)(2)(iv).
