Instructions for

Application for Amendment 80 Limited Access Fishery Permit

An Amendment 80 limited access fishery permit is required for an Amendment 80 Quota Share (QS) holder to catch, process, and receive Amendment 80 species assigned to the Amendment 80 limited access fishery, or use halibut and crab prohibited species catch (PSC) assigned to the Amendment 80 limited access fishery.

An Amendment 80 limited access fishery permit is issued annually to an Amendment 80 QS holder who has submitted:

♦ A timely and complete application for the Amendment 80 limited access fishery as described at § 679.91 that is approved by NMFS; and

♦ A timely and complete Economic Data Report (EDR) for all Amendment 80 QS permits held by that person as described under § 679.94 that is subsequently approved by NMFS.

The Amendment 80 EDR is renamed in 2016 as Trawl Catcher/Processor Economic Data Report. Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) has been designated by NMFS to be the Data Collection Agent (DCA) for the Amendment 80 EDR program. PSMFC mails EDR announcements and filing instructions to Amendment 80 QS permit holders by April 1. You may also use the web based EDR form or download the EDR form in fillable PDF format. To request that a printed EDR be mailed to you, please call 1-877-741-8913, or email your request to [email protected].

NOTE that the Amendment 80 regulations published at 50 CFR 679.94 direct EDR submitters to mail or fax completed EDR forms to the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. The updated submission address and fax number are listed below:
