ACTIVE AND INACTIVE TIME PERIODS IN THE DCPL
The operator must indicate whether the vessel was active or inactive during the time period. A
catcher/processor using longline or pot gear is active when processing or when all or part of the longline
or pot gear is in the water. An inactive period is defined as a time period other than active.
Record January 1 on page 1.
The operator must record the first day of the year, January 1, on page one of the DCPL regardless of
whether the vessel was active or inactive. The operator must record time periods consecutively.
Required information for inactive periods.
If inactive, the operator must record the following information on one logsheet in the DCPL:
Catcher/processor name, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) processor code, FFP
number or Federal crab vessel permit number, operator printed name, operator signature, and page
number.
Mark “inactive.”

surrender of a FFP, write “surrender of permit” as reason for inactivity.
Record the date (mm/dd) of the last day when inactive under “End date.”
Inactive two or more quarters.
If the inactive time period extends across two or more successive quarters, the operator must complete a

quarter and the second logsheet to indicate the first and last day of the second inactive quarter.
REQUIRED INFORMATION, IF ACTIVE
If the catcher/processor is active, the operator must record in the DCPL, for one or more days on each
logsheet, the information listed below.
For up to 7 days on one logsheet

If fishing under more than one management program of the same type, use a
separate logsheet for each

Retain and Record Discard Quantities Over the MRA.
When a catcher vessel is fishing in an IFQ fishery and the fishery for Pacific cod or rockfish is closed to
directed fishing but not in Prohibited Species Closure (PSC) status in that reporting area as described in
§ 679.20, the operator must retain and record up to and including the maximum retainable amount (MRA)
for Pacific cod or rockfish as defined in Table 10 or 11 to part 679. Quantities over this amount must be
discarded and recorded as discard in the logbook.
IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION
Page Number.
Number the pages in each logbook consecutively, beginning on the first page of the DCPL with page 1
for January 1 and continuing for the remainder of the fishing year.
Printed Name and Signature of Operator.
The operator’s name must be printed in the DCPL. The operator must sign each completed logsheet of
the DCPL as verification of acceptance of the responsibility noted above. The operator’s signature is due
within two hours after completion of the catch delivery.
