This action would allow a recreational
quota entity (RQE) to be established as an eligible entity to
purchase commercial quota share (QS) in Area 2C and Area 3A, with
limitations, for use by the halibut charter sector as a whole.
Federal regulations would be amended to allow these entities to
acquire QS, annually generating a designated poundage of IFQ. The
additional IFQ pounds of halibut would be combined with the charter
catch limit determined by the catch sharing plan, to determine an
adjusted catch limit for the year by International Pacific Halibut
Commission regulatory area.
