Background Section 403(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act directs the Secretary of Commerce, in cooperation with the states and the National Sea Grant College Program, to establish appropriate training programs for fishery observers and to ensure that they are competent to perform their mission. In April 1999, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) contracted with the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC), to conduct a Needs Assessment Survey to determine the core competencies for fishery observer training programs. The survey addressed observer competency in such areas as vessel safety, fisheries science, and statistical analysis. Subsequent reviews of the national and regional observer programs resulted in further recommendations for improvements in observer safety training. In January 2004, NMFS observer safety trainers met and developed safety training standards for all NMFS fisheries observers. These standards require that all observer safety trainers successfully complete a United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved MSIT course prior to conducting safety training. Currently certified trainers are also required to complete a 3-day refresher course every 3 years. The objectives of this contract are to increase the number of regional observer training staff, increase the quality of safety training provided to observers by enhancing safetytrainers’ methods of instruction in regional observer safety trainings, and maintain consistent observer safety training standards nationwide. In order to meet these objectives, the National Observer Program (NOP) is seeking a provider to conduct a United States Coast Guard (USCG) approved Marine Safety Instructor Training (MSIT) certification and refresher course. This work statement provides for a MSIT course and refresher training for up to 20 observer trainers, to be conducted simultaneously. II.
