Summary:
S-K programs are funded through a permanent appropriation and no periodic reauthorization is required. In addition, no recent congressional oversight hearings have been held to review the activities conducted under S-K authority or how S-K funds are allocated. Questions arose in the 112th Congress as to whether the U.S. commercial fishing industry might benefit from further expansion of the activities that S-K funding could support. Some of the attention to S-K funds in the 112th Congress stemmed from renewed interest in seafood marketing, particularly related to how a national program to promote seafood might be funded, including whether S-K funds might play a role in funding such an effort. .
