APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER
OF AMENDMENT 80 COOPERATIVE QUOTA
GENERAL INFORMATION
In order for an inter-cooperative transfer to be approved, both parties must be already established and
recognized by NMFS as a cooperative. NMFS will notify the transferor and transferee once the application has
been received and approved. A transfer of CQ is not effective until approved by NMFS.
An Amendment 80 cooperative may transfer all or part of its CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative.
Amendment 80 cooperatives may transfer CQ during a calendar year with the following restrictions:
♦

An Amendment 80 cooperative may only transfer CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative.

♦

An Amendment 80 cooperative may only receive CQ from another Amendment 80 cooperative.

♦

An Amendment 80 cooperative receiving Amendment 80 species CQ by transfer must assign that
Amendment 80 species CQ to a member(s) of the Amendment 80 cooperative for the purposes of use
caps calculation as established under § 679.92(a).

This application cannot be processed or approved unless all parties to the proposed transfer (including the
proposed transferor, the proposed transferee, and the receiving Qualifying Member) have met all the
requirements and conditions of the Amendment 80 Program. Any person who held an Amendment 80 CQ
permit during a calendar year must submit to NMFS an EDR for that calendar year for each Amendment 80
CQ permit held by that person (see § 679.94).
