Instructions for

APPLICATION FOR INTER-COOPERATIVE

TRANSFER OF AMENDMENT 80 COOPERATIVE QUOTA (CQ)

In order for an inter-cooperative transfer to be approved, both parties must be already established and recognized by NMFS as a cooperative. NMFS will notify the transferor and transferee once the application has been received and approved. A transfer of CQ is not effective until approved by NMFS.

An Amendment 80 cooperative may transfer all or part of its CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative. Amendment 80 cooperatives may transfer CQ during a calendar year with the following restrictions:

♦ An Amendment 80 cooperative may only transfer CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative;

♦ An Amendment 80 cooperative may only receive CQ from another Amendment 80 cooperative;

♦ An Amendment 80 cooperative receiving Amendment 80 species CQ by transfer must assign that Amendment 80 species CQ to a member(s) of the Amendment 80 cooperative for the purposes of use caps calculation as established under § 679.92(a); and

This application cannot be processed or approved unless all parties to the proposed transfer (including the proposed transferor, the proposed transferee, and the receiving Qualifying Member) have met all the requirements and conditions of the Amendment 80 Program.

Any person who held an Amendment 80 CQ permit during a calendar year must submit to NMFS an Economic Data Report (EDR) for that calendar year for each Amendment 80 CQ permit held by that person (see § 679.94).

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:
