Instructions

CDQ VESSEL REGISTRATION
FOR LLP EXEMPTION FOR SMALL HOOK & LINE CATCHER VESSELS
This form must be submitted ONLINE only.
The Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) vessel registration system provides a means for CDQ
representative to register catcher vessels greater than 32 ft length overall (LOA) and less than or equal to 46 ft LOA using
hook-and-line gear that will be exempt from the requirement to obtain and carry an License Limitation Program (LLP)
license under regulations at 50 CFR part 679 (see § 679.32(c)(3)(iii) and § 679.5(m)). The CDQ representative may add
vessels to the CDQ vessel registration list at any time by logging into the CDQ vessel registration system through eFISH.
To receive the exemption from the LLP license requirements for a vessel, the CDQ representative must
(1) register the vessel in the CDQ vessel registration system, and
(2) provide a legible copy of the LLP exemption letter to the operator of the vessel.
The CDQ vessel registration system will provide an LLP exemption letter documenting that the vessel is eligible for the
LLP exemption while groundfish CDQ fishing. The CDQ representative must provide a copy of the LLP exemption letter
to the appropriate vessel operator. The vessel operator must maintain a legible copy of the LLP exemption letter on board
at all times the vessel is groundfish CDQ fishing.
Through the online registration, each registered vessel is added to the CDQ vessel registration list on the NMFS Alaska
Region Web site at http://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov. Once registered, a vessel will remain on the CDQ vessel registration
list until removed by a CDQ representative.
A CDQ representative may remove a vessel by logging into the CDQ vessel registration system through eFISH and
indicating and certifying the removal of a vessel from the CDQ vessel registration list.
To remove the exemption from LLP license requirements for a vessel, the CDQ representative must
(1) remove the vessel in the CDQ vessel registration system, and
(2) certify the vessel operator was given notice that the vessel is being removed from the CDQ vessel registration
system and that the vessel is not groundfish CDQ fishing at the time of removal.
The CDQ vessel registration system will provide a printable confirmation that a vessel has been removed from the CDQ
vessel registration list. Once a vessel is removed from the CDQ vessel registration list, that vessel is no longer exempt
from the LLP requirements, even if the operator was still in possession of the LLP exemption letter.
CDQ Vessel Registration must be submitted online through eFISH at:
https://alaskafisheries.noaa.gov/webapps/coopaccounts/Login
Additional information is available from NMFS Sustainable Fisheries Division by telephone at 907-586-7228.
