ACE may be transferred/converted only through the end of the current fishing year and two weeks after the
fishing year ends and must be used in accordance with the regulations at 50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(viii). Please see
a summary of conditions and restrictions on the reverse side of this form.
NOTE: If the sector’s ACE is exceeded, the sector must cease operations in that stock area until it can acquire
additional ACE through a transfer to balance the catch. A sector can resume fishing in the stock area if it
acquires more ACE.
This form is required to obtain approval for the transferring of ACE under 50 CFR 648.87(b)(1)(viii) and to monitor ACE allocation and usage for each

on this form is punishable by law.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of information displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number.
