The FY2027 President's Budget requests $16.8M for Limited Access System, within Commerce's Limited Access System Administration Fund account. That is up 1.3% on the FY2026 figure of $16.6M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2026–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | enacted | $16.6M |
| FY2027 | request | $16.8M |
Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Commerce discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Commerce's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Collects fees, capped at three percent of ex-vessel value, to cover the incremental costs of managing, collecting data on, and enforcing Limited Access Privilege fishery programs under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Extracted from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, p. 377. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
