Application for
TEMPORARY MILITARY TRANSFER OF IFQ
In the event of a military mobilization affecting a quota share (QS) holder that prevents him or her from being able to
participate in the halibut or sablefish individual fishing quota (IFQ) fisheries, the Regional Administrator may approve a
temporary military transfer for the IFQ derived from the QS held by a QS holder. A temporary military transfer will be
approved if the QS holder demonstrates that he or she is unable to participate in the IFQ fishery for which he or she holds
QS because of a military mobilization or activation to duty status. A QS holder who has received an approved temporary
military transfer may transfer the IFQ derived from his or her own QS to an individual eligible to receive IFQ. To be
eligible to receive a temporary military transfer, a QS holder must:
◆ Be a member of a branch of the U.S. National Guard or other U.S. military reserve.
◆ Possess one or more catcher vessel IFQ permits.
◆ Not qualify for a hired master exception under § 679.42(i)(1).
Note: A separate application must be submitted for each temporary military transfer of IFQ.
A temporary military transfer application is available at http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov. The application must bear
the original signatures of the parties — an application sent by facsimile will not be processed.
Please allow at least ten working days for your application to be processed. Items will be sent by first class mail, unless
you provide alternate instructions and include a prepaid mailer with appropriate postage or corporate account number for
