Instructions APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER OF CHINOOK SALMON PSC ALLOCATIONS |
NMFS will issue Bering Sea Chinook salmon prohibited species catch (PSC) allocations to the catcher/processor sector entity, the mothership sector entity, inshore cooperatives, and CDQ groups. NMFS will issue separate PSC allocations for the A season and the B season. PSC remaining from the A season could be used in the B season (“rollover”).
The entity receiving a transferable Chinook salmon PSC allocation from NMFS is authorized to transfer all or a portion of the entity’s salmon PSC allocation to another entity or receive a transfer from another entity (authorized to sign transfer request forms), and be responsible for any penalties assessed for exceeding the entity’s salmon PSC allocation.
Transfers are a voluntary request to NMFS, initiated by the entity transferring surplus Chinook salmon allocations, to move a specific amount of a Chinook salmon PSC allocation from one entity’s account to another entity’s account. NMFS will review the transferor’s catch account to ensure sufficient salmon is available to transfer. If enough Chinook salmon are in the account, NMFS will make that transfer effective immediately. Transfers to eligible entities may occur at any time in a season but transfers cannot be made between the B and A seasons. Entities may receive transfers of PSC to cover overages (“post-delivery transfers”).
Requests for transfers may be submitted to NMFS either electronically or non-electronically through a form available on the NMFS Alaska Region website (http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov).
Type or print legibly in ink; retain a copy of completed application for your records.
