Instructions for Completing the
SUBSISTENCE HALIBUT
COMMUNITY HARVEST PERMIT (CHP) LOG
The Halibut Subsistence Fishery is authorized by Federal regulations at 50 CFR Part 300 and
provides for eligible persons to conduct subsistence halibut fishing in Convention waters off
Alaska.
Subsistence halibut means halibut caught by a rural resident or a member of an Alaska Native
tribe for direct personal or family consumption as food, sharing for personal or family
consumption as food, or for customary trade.

The Community Harvest Permit (CHP) Program allows an eligible tribe or community to select
individual harvesters who may possess particular expertise in halibut fishing to harvest halibut
on behalf of the community or tribe under reduced gear and harvest restrictions. NMFS will
issue a laminated CHP permit card and a harvest log to the tribe or community for each approved
registration application. The tribe or community must designate a coordinator as part of the
registration process. An eligible community or tribe may possess only one CHP at any given
time and the CHP expires 1 year from the date of issuance. Renewal of the CHP is the
responsibility of the tribe or community.
Alaska Native Tribe means, for purposes of the subsistence fishery for Pacific halibut in waters
in and off Alaska, a federally recognized Alaska Native tribe that has customary and traditional
use of halibut.
It is the responsibility of the CHP coordinator to issue the laminated CHP permit card to an
eligible fisherman. The fisherman must have the CHP permit card as well as his/her SHARC on
his/her person when fishing under the CHP.
