Instructions

Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer

Rockfish Fishery


A Rockfish Cooperative may transfer all or part of its CQ to another Rockfish Cooperative. This transfer requires the submission of an Application for Inter-Cooperative Transfer to NMFS. Once NMFS issues an annual catch amount to a cooperative, it may be fished by members of the cooperative or transferred to another cooperative. However, a cooperative in the catcher vessel sector may not transfer an annual catch amount to a cooperative in the catcher/processor sector.


This transfer of an annual catch amount is only valid during the calendar year of the transfer. A cooperative may only transfer or receive by transfer an annual catch amount if the cooperative:


♦ Notifies NMFS. A transfer is not effective until NMFS has been notified and NMFS has sent confirmation to the transferor and the transferee.


♦ Identifies the amount and type or annual catch amount transferred and the cooperative and cooperative member to which that annual catch amount is transferred. An annual catch amount received by a cooperative has to be attributed to a member of that cooperative to apply the use caps.


♦ Ensures that any transfer does not cause the receiving cooperative to exceed its use cap limitations.


Type or print legibly in ink; retain a copy of completed application for your records. Completed forms should be mailed or faxed to:
