Who needs to be listed on an experimental fishing permit?

EFP, authorized, agent, holder, license

In addition to the EFP holder, any person who will be conducting authorized activities independent of the EFP holder will need to be named on the permit as an authorized agent. The authorized agent may serve in place of the EFP holder for all activities requiring the presence or action of the EFP holder. In addition, all vessels operating under the EFP will be required to be identified on the permit. Crewmembers working for the EFP holder or authorized agent are not required to be named on the permit but may be required to possess a crewmember license, as determined by the special conditions of the EFP.
