Application for
Amendment 80 Cooperative Quota (CQ) Permit
A copy of the cooperative membership agreement or contract must be attached to this application.
A Cooperative Quota (CQ) permit is issued annually to an Amendment 80 cooperative that submits a complete
and timely application for CQ that is subsequently approved by the Regional Administrator.
A CQ permit authorizes an Amendment 80 cooperative to participate in the Amendment 80 Program. NMFS
will issue a CQ permit annually to an Amendment 80 cooperative if that Amendment 80 cooperative has
submitted:
◆ A timely and complete application for Amendment 80 CQ.
Deadline: This completed application must be received by NMFS no later than 1700 hours A.l.t. on
November 1 of the year prior to the year for which the applicant wishes to participate in an Amendment
80 fishery, or if sent by U.S. mail, the application must be postmarked by that time.
◆ A timely and complete Annual Trawl Catcher/Processor Economic Data Report (EDR) for each
member of the Amendment 80 cooperative holding Amendment 80 QS as described under § 679.94
that is subsequently approved by the Regional Administrator.
Deadline: The annual EDR submission deadline is June 1 of the year following the year during which the
A80 QS permit was held.
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) has been designated by NMFS to be the Data Collection
Agent for the Amendment 80 EDR program. PSMFC mails EDR announcements and filing instructions
to Amendment 80 QS permit holders by April 1. You may also use the web based EDR form or
download the EDR form in fillable PDF format. To request that a printed EDR be mailed to you, please

The end of the year for which the Amendment 80 CQ fishery permit is issued;

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT
Authority: The collection of this information is authorized under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act, 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Purpose: NMFS uses information from this application to determine eligibility for a cooperative quota (CQ) permit, assign
CQ to Amendment 80 (A80) cooperatives, determine the A80 species initial total allowable catch assignments, determine
which vessels must be tracked for catch accounting, and review ownership and control information for various QS holders
to ensure that QS and CQ use caps are not exceeded. An A80 CQ permit authorizes the A80 cooperative and vessels
assigned to that cooperative to participate in the A80 CQ fishery.
Routing Uses: Disclosure of this information is subject to the published routine uses identified in the Privacy Act System
of Records Notice COMMERCE/NOAA-19, Permits and Registrations for the United States Federally Regulated
Fisheries. NMFS posts some information from this form on its public website (https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/). In
addition, NMFS may share information submitted on this application with other State and Federal agencies or fishery
management commissions, including staff of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and Pacific States Marine
Fisheries Commission. Other information is confidential under section 402(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act and NOAA
Administrative Order 216-100, which sets forth procedures to protect confidentiality of fishery statistics.
Disclosure: Furnishing this information is voluntary; however, failure to provide complete and accurate information will
prevent determination of eligibility for an A80 CQ permit.
