INSTRUCTIONS

APPLICATION FOR

TRANSFER OF SCALLOP LLP LICENSE


The information requested on this application is for the express purpose of ensuring that transfers of scallop licenses are properly executed as requested by the parties to the transfer and to ensure that all provisions of the federal regulations governing the transfer of such licenses, 50 CFR 679.4(l)(4), have been met.

GENERAL INFORMATION


The Scallop License Limitation Program is authorized in Federal regulations at 50 CFR Part 679, and provides that any vessel that is deployed in the scallop fisheries in Federal waters off Alaska must carry a valid scallop license.


A license is transferable; i.e., once issued, it may be transferred by its holder(s) to another person(s) who may then use the license aboard a vessel deployed in the Federal scallop fishery in the waters off Alaska (subject to the restrictions of the license).


Scallop licenses have no area endorsements, all licenses are statewide.



RESTRICTIONS

Gear: If a vessel did not make a legal landing of scallops outside Cook Inlet (State of Alaska Registration Area H) in 1 of the 3 years 1996, 1997, or 1998, through October 9, 1998, the license would be restricted to a single 6 foot (1.8 m) dredge.


Maximum Length Overall (MLOA): Each license displays an MLOA (in feet). MLOA is restricted to 100% of the LOA of the qualifying vessel or, 100% of the LOA of the largest vessel used in the recent qualifying period.
