You will utilize the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) Tag Distribution
System (TDS) web application (www.ptagis.org/tpw/login.htm)
to provide the number of tags requested and the month the tags will be needed. Once
your COTR has reviewed and approved your tag request, you will be notified by TDS
auto-generated email. Specification of tag recipients (by project personnel) and
distribution of approved requests (by PSMFC) will likewise be made through the TDS
application, as outlined in more detail below. Please complete your initial tag
requests by September 30 for the upcoming fiscal year (but no later than two weeks
before requested delivery date). If later in the year you need to make adjustments
to your order, please contact your COTR and/or the BPA PIT Tag Coordinator (information
below) as well as making the necessary changes in TDS.
New to PIT Tag Requests?
If your project has not previously requested tags, please contact your project’s
COTR and/or the PIT Tag Coordinator (Sharon Grant, 503-230-5215) to set up
your request. The project can then be added into TDS and each new point of contact
will be given a login and password to the system.
PIT Tag Distribution Process Overview
Step 1. Tag Request Invitation: You will receive an email in late August
requesting that you input your tag orders by the end of September for the coming
fiscal year (October through September). Until you receive this invitation, the
system will not let you place orders for the next fiscal year as only one fiscal
year is activated at a time.
Step 2. Enter the Tag Distribution System
and log into the TDS application with your PTAGIS user information
(Don’t have a login? See “New to PIT Tag requests” above).
Once logged into TDS, select your project and enter the number of tags requested
by delivery month. Distribution information may be entered at this point or after
requests have been approved (see Step 4 below).
Step 3. Once your tag request has been approved by your COTR, you will be
notified by a TDS auto-generated email.
Step 4. Distribution of tags: Complete distribution recipient information
online using the TDS application. To enter distribution information, click the green
“Distribute” tab for your project in TDS. Next, click on a requested quantity
and enter recipient information at the top right (multiple delivery locations permitted).
Each request will require the entry of its own distribution information. For detailed
instructions, see the
TDS user manual
(pages 16-23).
What you need to do
If you need to request tags for the coming fiscal year, but do not have distribution
information ready, please complete step 2 at this time.
If you need to request tags for the coming fiscal year, and have distribution information
ready, please complete Step 2 and Step 4 at this time.
If you will not be requesting tags for the coming fiscal year, log into the TDS
application and check the box at the bottom stating, “This project requires
no additional tags,” applicable to the current fiscal year only.
If for the foreseeable future, your project will not be using PIT tags, please contact
the PIT Tag Coordinator to remove your project from the active list.
