Upon implementation of Amendment 14 to the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan, NMFS implemented a permit stacking program which allows vessels to stack up to three permits on a vessel. This provision is known as a own/hold control. This limit was intended to prevent concentration of harvest privileges in a few persons, partnerships, or corporations. However, unforeseen complications have arisen as many persons, partnerships or corporations have harvest privileges in both Alaska sablefish and West Coast sablefish fisheries. This new collection of information would create a process for those vessels that have been adversely affected by the limit, and who meet certain qualifications, to apply for an exemption to the three-permit rule.
