Abstract: The IFQ Program allocates annual total catch limits for the Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program for fixed-gear Pacific halibut and sablefish fisheries off Alaska as well as the Western Alaska Community Development Quota Program (CDQ) halibut fisheries among individual fishermen and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) non-profit organizations holding quota share. Changes are made to the medical transfer form, to remove the notary requirement and make other streamlining changes.
