Instructions for
Application for Exemption from WAG Delivery Requirements
The eligible contract signatories (see qualifications at §680.4(o)(2)(i)) may request that NMFS exempt West designated individual
fishing quota (IFQ) and West designated individual processing quota (IPQ) for the Western Aleutian Islands golden king crab (WAG)
fishery from the West Region Delivery requirements.
Note: An exemption from West regional delivery requirements is only valid for the remainder of the crab fishing year during which
the application was submitted to and approved by NMFS.
Eligible Contract Signatories are:
♦

Quota Share (QS) holders: Any person or company that holds in excess of 20 percent of the West designated WAG QS at the
time the contract was signed, or their authorized representative.

♦

Processor Quota Share (PQS) holders: Any person or company that holds in excess of 20 percent of the West designated
WAG PQS at the time the contract was signed, or their authorized representative.

♦

Municipalities: designated officials from both the City of Adak and the City of Atka or an authorized representative

Each Eligible Contract Signatory must complete, sign, and date an Affidavit affirming that a master contract was signed to authorize
the request for exemption from the West region delivery requirements for West designated IFQ and West designated IPQ for the
WAG fishery at § 680.7(a)(2) and (a)(4). By signing the affidavit, the signatory affirms that all information is true, correct, and
complete to the best of his or her knowledge and belief.
A completed application must be received and approved by NMFS before any person may use WAG IFQ or IPQ with a West regional
designation outside of the West region during a crab fishing year.
The application is available on the NMFS Alaska region website (http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov) or from NMFS at the address below.
All information fields on the application must be accurately completed.
If NMFS approves this application, the effective date of the exemption is the date the application is approved by NMFS. Any delivery
of WAG IFQ or IPQ with a West regional designation outside of the West region prior to the effective date of the exemption is
prohibited under 680.7(a)(2) and (a)(4).
The completed application may be submitted to NMFS using any one of the following methods:
♦ Mail:
