§ 242.5 Eligibility for subsistence use.
(a) You may take fish and wildlife on
public lands for subsistence uses only if
you are an Alaska resident of a rural
area or rural community. The regulations in this part may further limit
your qualifications to harvest fish or
wildlife resources for subsistence uses.
If you are not an Alaska resident or are
a resident of a non-rural area or community listed in § 242.23, you may not
take fish or wildlife on public lands for
subsistence uses under the regulations
in this part.
(b) Where the Board has made a customary and traditional use determination regarding subsistence use of a specific fish stock or wildlife population,
in accordance with, and as listed in,
§ 242.24, only those Alaskans who are
residents of rural areas or communities
designated by the Board are eligible for
subsistence taking of that population
or stock on public lands for subsistence
uses under the regulations in this part.

If you do not live in one of those areas
or communities, you may not take fish
or wildlife from that population or
stock, on public lands under the regulations in this part.
(c) Where customary and traditional
use determinations for a fish stock or
wildlife population within a specific
area have not yet been made by the
Board (e.g., ‘‘no determination’’), all
Alaskans who are residents of rural
areas or communities may harvest for
subsistence from that stock or population under the regulations in this
part.
(d) The National Park Service may
regulate further the eligibility of those
individuals qualified to engage in subsistence uses on National Park Service
lands in accordance with specific authority in ANILCA, and National Park
Service regulations at 36 CFR Part 13.
§ 242.6 Licenses, permits, harvest tickets, tags, and reports.
(a) If you wish to take fish and wildlife on public lands for subsistence
uses, you must be an eligible rural
Alaska resident and:
(1) Possess the pertinent valid Alaska
resident hunting and trapping licenses
(no license required to take fish or
shellfish, but you must be an Alaska
resident) unless Federal licenses are required or unless otherwise provided for
in subpart D of this part;
(2) Possess and comply with the provisions of any pertinent Federal permits (Federal Subsistence Registration
Permit or Federal Designated Harvester Permit) required by subpart D of
this part; and
(3) Possess and comply with the provisions of any pertinent permits, harvest tickets, or tags required by the
State unless any of these documents or
individual provisions in them are superseded by the requirements in subpart D of this part.
(b) In order to receive a Federal Subsistence Registration Permit or Federal Designated Harvester Permit or

(c) If you have been awarded a permit
to take fish and wildlife, you must
have that permit in your possession
during the taking and must comply
with all requirements of the permit
and the regulations in this section pertaining to validation and reporting and
to regulations in subpart D of this part
pertaining to methods and means, possession and transportation, and utilization. Upon the request of a State or
Federal law enforcement agent, you
must also produce any licenses, permits, harvest tickets, tags, or other
documents required by this section. If
you are engaged in taking fish and
wildlife under the regulations in this
part, you must allow State or Federal
law enforcement agents to inspect any
apparatus designed to be used, or capable of being used to take fish or wildlife, or any fish or wildlife in your possession.
(d) You must validate the harvest
tickets, tags, permits, or other required documents before removing
your kill from the harvest site. You
must also comply with all reporting
provisions as set forth in subpart D of
this part.
(e) If you take fish and wildlife under
a community harvest system, you
must report the harvest activity in accordance with regulations specified for
that community in subpart D of this
part, and as required by any applicable
permit conditions. Individuals may be
responsible for particular reporting requirements in the conditions permitting a specific community’s harvest.
Failure to comply with these conditions is a violation of the regulations
in this part. Community harvests are
reviewed annually under the regulations in subpart D of this part.
(f) You may not make a fraudulent
application for Federal or State licenses, permits, harvest tickets or tags
or intentionally file an incorrect harvest report.

§ 242.7

Restriction on use.

(a) You may not use fish or wildlife
or their parts, taken pursuant to the
regulations in this part, unless provided for in this part.

(b) You may not exchange in customary trade or sell fish or wildlife or
their parts, taken pursuant to the regulations in this part, unless provided
for in this part.
(c) You may barter fish or wildlife or
their parts, taken pursuant to the regulations in this part, unless restricted
in §§ 242.25, 242.26, 242.27, or 242.28.
§ 242.8

Penalties.

If you are convicted of violating any
provision of 50 CFR Part 100 or 36 CFR
Part 242, you may be punished by a fine
or by imprisonment in accordance with
the penalty provisions applicable to
the public land where the violation occurred.
§ 242.9 Information collection requirements.
(a) The rules in this part contain information collection requirements subject to Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) approval under 44 U.S.C.
3501–3520. They apply to fish and wildlife harvest activities on public lands
in Alaska. Subsistence users will not
be required to respond to an information collection request unless a valid
OMB number is displayed on the information collection form.
(1) Section 242.6, Licenses, permits,
harvest tickets, tags, and reports. The
information collection requirements
contained in § 242.6 (Federal Subsistence Registration Permit or Federal
Designated Harvester Permit forms)
provide for permit-specific subsistence
activities not authorized through the
general adoption of State regulations.
Identity and location of residence are
required to determine if you are eligible for a permit and a report of success
is required after a harvest attempt.
These requirements are not duplicative
with the requirements of paragraph
(a)(3) of this section. The regulations in
§ 242.6 require this information before a
rural Alaska resident may engage in
subsistence uses on public lands. The
Department estimates that the average
time necessary to obtain and comply
with this permit information collection requirement is 0.25 hours.
(2) Section 242.20, Request for reconsideration. The information collection

requirements contained in § 242.20 provide a standardized process to allow individuals the opportunity to appeal decisions of the Board. Submission of a
request for reconsideration is voluntary but required to receive a final
review by the Board. We estimate that
a request for reconsideration will take
4 hours to prepare and submit.
(3) The remaining information collection requirements contained in this
part imposed upon subsistence users
are those adopted from State regulations. These collection requirements
would exist in the absence of Federal
subsistence regulations and are not
subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act. The burden in this situation is
negligible, and information gained
from these reports is systematically
available to Federal managers by routine computer access requiring less
than 1 hour.
(b) You may direct comments on the
burden estimate or any other aspect of
the burden estimate to: Information
Collection Officer, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1849 C Street, N.W., MS 222
ARLSQ, Washington, D.C. 20240; and
the Office of Management and Budget,
Paperwork Reduction Project (Subsistence), Washington, D.C. 20503. Additional information requirements may
be imposed if Local Advisory Committees or additional Regional Councils,
subject to the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), are established
under subpart B of this part. Such requirements will be submitted to OMB
for approval prior to their implementation.

wildlife on public lands for nonsubsistence uses or close public lands to the
take of fish and wildlife for nonsubsistence uses when necessary for the conservation of healthy populations of fish
or wildlife, to continue subsistence
uses of fish or wildlife, or for reasons of
public safety or administration. The
Board may also reopen public lands to
nonsubsistence uses if new information
or changed conditions indicate that the
closure is no longer warranted;
(vii) Restrict the taking of a particular fish or wildlife population on
public lands for subsistence uses, close
public lands to the take of fish and
wildlife for subsistence uses, or otherwise modify the requirements for take
from a particular fish or wildlife population on public lands for subsistence
uses when necessary to ensure the continued viability of a fish or wildlife
population, or for reasons of public
safety or administration. As soon as
conditions warrant, the Board may
also reopen public lands to the taking
of a fish and wildlife population for
subsistence users to continue those
uses;
(viii) Establish priorities for the subsistence taking of fish and wildlife on
public lands among rural Alaska residents;

processes relating to the subsistence
taking of fish and wildlife to ensure
continued opportunities for subsistence;
(xviii) Evaluate whether hunting,
fishing, or trapping activities which
occur on lands or waters in Alaska
other than public lands interfere with
subsistence hunting, fishing, or trapping on the public lands to such an extent as to result in a failure to provide
the subsistence priority, and after appropriate consultation with the State
of Alaska, the Regional Councils, and
other Federal agencies, make a recommendation to the Secretaries for
their action;
(xix) Identify, in appropriate specific
instances, whether there exists additional Federal reservations, Federal reserved water rights or other Federal interests in lands or waters, including
those in which the United States holds
less than a fee ownership, to which the
Federal subsistence priority attaches,
and make appropriate recommendation
to the Secretaries for inclusion of
those interests within the Federal Subsistence Management Program; and
(xx) Take other actions authorized by
the Secretaries to implement Title
VIII of ANILCA.

have been customarily and traditionally used for subsistence. These determinations shall identify the specific
community’s or area’s use of specific
fish stocks and wildlife populations.
For areas managed by the National
Park Service, where subsistence uses
are allowed, the determinations may be
made on an individual basis.
(b) A community or area shall generally exhibit the following factors,
which exemplify customary and traditional use. The Board shall make customary and traditional use determinations based on application of the following factors:
(1) A long-term consistent pattern of
use, excluding interruptions beyond
the control of the community or area;
(2) A pattern of use recurring in specific seasons for many years;
(3) A pattern of use consisting of
methods and means of harvest which
are characterized by efficiency and
economy of effort and cost, conditioned
by local characteristics;
(4) The consistent harvest and use of
fish or wildlife as related to past methods and means of taking; near, or reasonably accessible from, the community or area;
(5) A means of handling, preparing,
preserving, and storing fish or wildlife
which has been traditionally used by
past generations, including consideration of alteration of past practices
due to recent technological advances,
where appropriate;
(6) A pattern of use which includes
the handing down of knowledge of fishing and hunting skills, values, and lore
from generation to generation;
(7) A pattern of use in which the harvest is shared or distributed within a
definable community of persons; and
(8) A pattern of use which relates to
reliance upon a wide diversity of fish
and wildlife resources of the area and
which provides substantial cultural,
economic, social, and nutritional elements to the community or area.
(c) The Board shall take into consideration the reports and recommendations of any appropriate Regional
Council regarding customary and traditional uses of subsistence resources.
(d) Current determinations are listed
in § 242.24.

§ 242.17 Determining
priorities
for
subsistence uses among rural Alaska residents.
(a) Whenever it is necessary to restrict the subsistence taking of fish
and wildlife on public lands in order to
protect the continued viability of such
populations, or to continue subsistence
uses, the Board shall establish a priority among the rural Alaska residents
after considering any recommendation
submitted by an appropriate Regional
Council.
(b) The priority shall be implemented
through appropriate limitations based
on the application of the following criteria to each area, community, or individual determined to have customary
and traditional use, as necessary:
(1) Customary and direct dependence
upon the populations as the mainstay
of livelihood;
(2) Local residency; and
(3) The availability of alternative resources.
(c) If allocation on an area or community basis is not achievable, then
the Board shall allocate subsistence opportunity on an individual basis
through application of the criteria in
paragraphs (b)(1) through (3) of this
section.
(d) In addressing a situation where
prioritized allocation becomes necessary, the Board shall solicit recommendations from the Regional
Council in the area affected.
§ 242.18 Regulation adoption process.
(a) The Board will accept proposals
for changes to the Federal subsistence
regulations in subparts C or D of this
part according to a published schedule,
except for proposals for emergency and
temporary special actions, which the
Board will accept according to procedures set forth in § 242.19. The Board
may establish a rotating schedule for
accepting proposals on various sections
of subpart C or subpart D regulations
over a period of years. The Board will
develop and publish proposed regulations in the FEDERAL REGISTER, publish
notice in local newspapers, and distribute comments on the proposed regulations in the form of proposals for
public review.
(1) Proposals shall be made available
for at least a thirty (30) day review by

substantial evidence, violates recognized principles of fish and wildlife
conservation, or would be detrimental
to the satisfaction of subsistence
needs. If a recommendation approved
by a Regional Council is not adopted
by the Board, the Board shall set forth
the factual basis and the reasons for its
decision in writing to the Regional
Council.
(5) Following consideration of the
proposals the Board shall publish final

§ 242.19 Special actions.
(a) Emergency special actions. In an
emergency situation, if necessary to
ensure the continued viability of a fish
or wildlife population, to continue subsistence uses of fish or wildlife, or for
public safety reasons, the Board may
immediately open or close public lands
for the taking of fish and wildlife for
subsistence uses, or modify the requirements for take for subsistence uses, or
close public lands to take for nonsubsistence uses of fish and wildlife, or

restrict the requirements for take for
nonsubsistence uses.
(1) If the timing of a regularly scheduled meeting of the affected Regional
Council so permits without incurring
undue delay, the Board may seek Council recommendations on the proposed
emergency special action. Such a
Council recommendation, if any, will
be subject to the requirements of
§ 242.18(a)(4).
(2) The emergency action will be effective when directed by the Board,
may not exceed 60 days, and may not
be extended unless the procedures for
adoption of a temporary special action,
as set forth in paragraph (b) of this section, have been followed.
(b) Temporary special actions. After
adequate notice and public hearing, the
Board may temporarily close or open
public lands for the taking of fish and
wildlife for subsistence uses, or modify
the requirements for subsistence take,
or close public lands for the taking of
fish and wildlife for nonsubsistence
uses, or restrict take for nonsubsistence uses.
(1) The Board may make such temporary changes only after it determines that the proposed temporary
change will not interfere with the conservation of healthy fish and wildlife
populations, will not be detrimental to
the long-term subsistence use of fish or
wildlife resources, and is not an unnecessary restriction on nonsubsistence
users. The Board may also reopen public lands to nonsubsistence uses if new
information or changed conditions indicate that the closure is no longer
warranted.
(i) Prior to implementing a temporary special action, the Board will
consult with the State of Alaska and
the Chairs of the Regional Councils of
the affected regions.
(ii) If the timing of a regularly scheduled meeting of the affected Regional
Council so permits without incurring
undue delay, the Board will seek Council recommendations on the proposed
temporary special action. Such Council
recommendations, if any, will be subject
to
the
requirements
of
§ 242.18(a)(4).
(2) The length of any temporary action will be confined to the minimum

time period or harvest limit determined by the Board to be necessary
under the circumstances. In any event,
a temporary opening or closure will
not extend longer than the end of the
current regulatory cycle.
(c) The Board may reject a request
for either an emergency or a temporary
special action if the Board concludes
that there are no time-sensitive circumstances necessitating a regulatory
change before the next regular proposal
cycle. However, a special action request that has been rejected for this
reason may be deferred, if appropriate
and after consultation with the proponent, for consideration during the
next regular proposal cycle. The Board
will consider changes to customary and
traditional use determinations in subpart C of this part only during the regular proposal cycle.
(d) The Board will provide notice of
all regulatory changes adopted via special action by posting the change on
the Office of Subsistence Management
Web
site
(http://alaska.fws.gov/asm/
index.cfml). When appropriate, notice
may also include distribution of press
releases to newspapers, local radio stations, and local contacts, as well as direct notification to the proponent and
interested parties. The Board will publish notice and reasons justifying the
special action in the FEDERAL REGISTER as soon as practicable.
(e) The decision of the Board on any
proposed special action will constitute
its final administrative action.
(f) Regulations authorizing any individual agency to implement closures or
restrictions on public lands managed
by the agency remain unaffected by the
regulations in this part.
(g) Fish and wildlife may not be
taken in violation of any restriction,
closure, or change authorized by the
Board.

like the action changed.
(e) Upon receipt of a request for reconsideration, the Board shall transmit
a copy of such request to any appropriate Regional Council and the Alaska
Department of Fish and Game (ADFG)
for review and recommendation. The
Board shall consider any Regional
Council and ADFG recommendations in
making a final decision.
(f) If the request is justified, the
Board shall implement a final decision
on a request for reconsideration after
compliance with 5 U.S.C. 551–559 (APA).

or other furbearers before 3:00 a.m. following the day in which airborne travel
occurred (except for flights in regularly scheduled commercial aircraft).
This restriction does not apply to subsistence taking of deer (except on NPS
lands) and of caribou on the Nushagak
Peninsula (a portion of Units 17A and
17C) during Jan. 1–Mar. 31, provided the
hunter is 300 feet from the airplane;
moreover, this restriction does not
apply to subsistence setting of snares
or traps, or the removal of furbearers
from traps or snares.
(17) Taking a bear cub or a sow accompanied by cub(s).
(c) Defense of life and property. Wildlife taken in defense of life or property
is not a subsistence use; wildlife so
taken is subject to State regulations.
(d) Trapping furbearing animals. The
following methods and means of trapping furbearers for subsistence uses
pursuant to the requirements of a trapping license are prohibited, in addition
to the prohibitions listed at paragraph
(b) of this section:
(1) Disturbing or destroying a den,
except that you may disturb a muskrat

(5) Using a net or fish trap (except a
blackfish or fyke trap); and

(e) Possession and transportation of
wildlife. (1) Except as specified in paragraphs (e)(2) or (f)(1) of this section, or
as otherwise provided, you may not
take a species of wildlife in any unit,
or portion of a unit, if your total take
of that species already obtained any-

where in the State under Federal and
State regulations equals or exceeds the
harvest limit in that unit.
(2) An animal taken under Federal or
State regulations by any member of a
community with an established community harvest limit for that species
counts toward the community harvest
limit for that species. Except for wildlife taken pursuant to § 242.10(d)(5)(iii)
or as otherwise provided for by this
part, an animal taken as part of a community harvest limit counts toward
every community member’s harvest
limit for that species taken under Federal or State of Alaska regulations.
(f) Harvest limits. (1) The harvest limit
specified for a trapping season for a
species and the harvest limit set for a

(2) If the subsistence taking of an
ungulate, except sheep, is restricted to
one sex in the local area, you may not
possess or transport the carcass of an
animal taken in that area unless sufficient portions of the external sex organs remain attached to indicate conclusively the sex of the animal, except
that in Units 1–5 antlers are also considered proof of sex for deer if the antlers are naturally attached to an entire
carcass, with or without the viscera;
and except in Units 11, 13, 19, 21, and 24,
where you may possess either sufficient portions of the external sex organs (still attached to a portion of the
carcass) or the head (with or without
antlers attached; however, the antler

where it is to be consumed.
(3) If a moose harvest limit requires
an antlered bull, an antler size, or configuration restriction, you may not
possess or transport the moose carcass
or its parts unless both antlers accompany the carcass or its parts. If you
possess a set of antlers with less than
the required number of brow tines on
one antler, you must leave the antlers
naturally attached to the unbroken,
uncut skull plate; however, this paragraph (g)(3) does not apply to a moose
carcass or its parts that have been
butchered and placed in storage or otherwise prepared for consumption after
arrival at the place where it is to be
stored or consumed.
(h) Removing harvest from the field.
You must leave all edible meat on the
bones of the front quarters and hind
quarters of caribou and moose harvested in Units 9, 17, 18, and 19B prior
to October 1 until you remove the meat
from the field or process it for human
consumption. You must leave all edible
meat on the bones of the front quarters, hind quarters, and ribs of moose
harvested in Unit 21 prior to October 1
until you remove the meat from the
field or process it for human consumption. You must leave all edible meat on
the bones of the front quarters, hind
quarters, and ribs of caribou and moose
harvested in Unit 24 prior to October 1

quarters, or ribs from a harvested
moose or caribou may be processed for
human consumption and consumed in
the field; however, meat may not be removed from the bones for purposes of
transport out of the field. You must
leave all edible meat on the bones of
the front quarters, hind quarters, and
ribs of caribou and moose harvested in
Unit 25 until you remove the meat
from the field or process it for human
consumption.
(i) Returning of tags, marks, or collars.

Sealing requirements for bear apply to
brown bears taken in all Units, except
as specified in this paragraph, and
black bears of all color phases taken in
Units 1–7, 11–17, and 20.
(2) You may not possess or transport
from Alaska the untanned skin or skull
of a bear unless the skin and skull have
been sealed by an authorized representative of ADF&G in accordance with
State or Federal regulations, except
that the skin and skull of a brown bear
taken under a registration permit in
Units 5, 9B, 9E, 17, 18, 19A and 19B
downstream of and including the Aniak
River drainage, 21D, 22, 23, 24, and 26A

the area.
(3) You must keep a bear skin and
skull together until a representative of
the ADF&G has removed a rudimentary premolar tooth from the skull

however, this provision does not apply
to brown bears taken within Units 5,
9B, 9E, 17, 18, 19A and 19B downstream
of and including the Aniak River drainage, 21D, 22, 23, 24, and 26A and which
are not removed from the Unit.
(i) In areas where sealing is required
by Federal regulations, you may not
possess or transport the hide of a bear
that does not have the penis sheath or
vaginal orifice naturally attached to
indicate conclusively the sex of the
bear.
(ii) If the skin or skull of a bear
taken in Units 9B, 17, 18, and 19A and
19B downstream of and including the
Aniak River drainage is removed from
the area, you must first have it sealed
by an ADF&G representative in Bethel,
Dillingham, or McGrath; at the time of
sealing, the ADF&G representative
must remove and retain the skin of the
skull and front claws of the bear.

You may take wildlife, outside of established season or harvest limits, for
food in traditional religious ceremonies, which are part of a funerary or

mortuary cycle, including memorial
potlatches, under the following provisions:
(1) The harvest does not violate recognized principles of wildlife conservation and uses the methods and means
allowable for the particular species
published in the applicable Federal regulations. The appropriate Federal land
manager will establish the number,
species, sex, or location of harvest, if
necessary, for conservation purposes.
Other regulations relating to ceremonial harvest may be found in the unitspecific regulations in paragraph (n) of
this section.
(2) No permit or harvest ticket is required for harvesting under this section; however, the harvester must be a
Federally qualified subsistence user
with customary and traditional use in
the area where the harvesting will
occur.
(3) In Units 1–26 (except for Koyukon/
Gwich’in potlatch ceremonies in Units
20F, 21, 24, or 25):
(i) A tribal chief, village or tribal
council president, or the chief’s or
president’s designee for the village in
which the religious/cultural ceremony
will be held, or a Federally qualified
subsistence user outside of a village or
tribal-organized ceremony, must notify
the nearest Federal land manager that
a wildlife harvest will take place. The
notification must include the species,
harvest location, and number of animals expected to be taken.
(ii) Immediately after the wildlife is
taken, the tribal chief, village or tribal
council president or designee, or other
Federally qualified subsistence user
must create a list of the successful
hunters and maintain these records, including the name of the decedent for
whom the ceremony will be held. If requested, this information must be
available to an authorized representative of the Federal land manager.
(iii) The tribal chief, village or tribal
council president or designee, or other
Federally qualified subsistence user
outside of the village in which the religious/cultural ceremony will be held
must report to the Federal land manager the harvest location, species, sex,
and number of animals taken as soon
as practicable, but not more than 15
days after the wildlife is taken.

§ 242.27

Subsistence taking of fish.

(a) Applicability. (1) Regulations in
this section apply to the taking of fish
or their parts for subsistence uses.
(2) You may take fish for subsistence
uses at any time by any method unless
you are restricted by the subsistence
fishing regulations found in this section. The harvest limit specified in this
section for a subsistence season for a
species and the State harvest limit set
for a State season for the same species
are not cumulative, except as modified
by regulations in paragraph (e) of this
section. This means that if you have
taken the harvest limit for a particular
species under a subsistence season
specified in this section, you may not,
after that, take any additional fish of
that species under any other harvest
limit specified for a State season.
(3) You may not possess, transport,
give, receive, or barter subsistencetaken fish or their parts that have been
taken contrary to Federal law or regulation or State law or regulation (un-

less superseded by regulations in this
part).
(b) Methods, means, and general restrictions. (1) Unless otherwise specified in
this section or under terms of a required subsistence fishing permit (as
may be modified by regulations in this
section), you may use the following
legal types of gear for subsistence fishing:
(i) A set gillnet;
(ii) A drift gillnet;
(iii) A purse seine;
(iv) A hand purse seine;
(v) A beach seine;
(vi) Troll gear;
(vii) A fish wheel;
(viii) A trawl;
(ix) A pot;
(x) A longline;
(xi) A fyke net;
(xii) A lead;
(xiii) A herring pound;

(xix) A rod and reel; and
(xx) A spear.
(2) You must include an escape mechanism on all pots used to take fish or
shellfish. The escape mechanisms are
as follows:
(i) A sidewall, which may include the
tunnel, of all shellfish and bottomfish
pots must contain an opening equal to
or exceeding 18 inches in length, except
that in shrimp pots the opening must
be a minimum of 6 inches in length.
The opening must be laced, sewn, or secured together by a single length of untreated, 100 percent cotton twine, no
larger than 30 thread. The cotton twine
may be knotted at each end only. The
opening must be within 6 inches of the
bottom of the pot and must be parallel
with it. The cotton twine may not be
tied or looped around the web bars.
Dungeness crab pots may have the pot
lid tie-down straps secured to the pot
at one end by a single loop of untreated, 100 percent cotton twine no
larger than 60 thread, or the pot lid
must be secured so that, when the
twine degrades, the lid will no longer
be securely closed.
(ii) All king crab, Tanner crab,
shrimp, miscellaneous shellfish and
bottomfish pots may, instead of complying with paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this
section, satisfy the following: a sidewall, which may include the tunnel,
must contain an opening at least 18
inches in length, except that shrimp
pots must contain an opening at least
6 inches in length. The opening must be
laced, sewn, or secured together by a
single length of treated or untreated
twine, no larger than 36 thread. A galvanic timed-release device, designed to
release in no more than 30 days in saltwater, must be integral to the length
of twine so that, when the device releases, the twine will no longer secure
or obstruct the opening of the pot. The
twine may be knotted only at each end
and at the attachment points on the
galvanic timed-release device. The
opening must be within 6 inches of the
bottom of the pot and must be parallel
with it. The twine may not be tied or
looped around the web bars.
(3) For subsistence fishing for salmon, you may not use a gillnet exceeding
50 fathoms in length, unless otherwise
specified in this section. The gillnet

web must contain at least 30 filaments
of equal diameter or at least 6 filaments, each of which must be at least
0.20 millimeter in diameter.
(4) Except as otherwise provided for
in this section, you may not obstruct
more than one-half the width of any
stream with any gear used to take fish
for subsistence uses.
(5) You may not use live nonindigenous fish as bait.
(6) You must have your first initial,
last name, and address plainly and legibly inscribed on the side of your fish
wheel facing midstream of the river.
(7) You may use kegs or buoys of any
color but red on any permitted gear,
except in the following areas where
kegs or buoys of any color, including
red, may be used:
(i) Yukon–Northern Area; and
(ii) Kuskokwim Area.
(8) You must have your first initial,
last name, and address plainly and legibly inscribed on each keg, buoy,
stakes attached to gillnets, stakes
identifying gear fished under the ice,
and any other unattended fishing gear
which you use to take fish for subsistence uses.
(9) You may not use explosives or
chemicals to take fish for subsistence
uses.
(10) You may not take fish for subsistence uses within 300 feet of any
dam, fish ladder, weir, culvert or other
artificial obstruction, unless otherwise
indicated.
(11) Transactions between rural residents. Rural residents may exchange in
customary trade subsistence-harvested
fish, their parts, or their eggs, legally
taken under the regulations in this
part, for cash from other rural residents. The Board may recognize regional differences and regulates customary trade differently for separate
regions of the State.
(i) Bristol Bay Fishery Management
Area—The total cash value per household of salmon taken within Federal
jurisdiction in the Bristol Bay Fishery
Management Area and exchanged in

trade to rural residents may not exceed
50 percent of the annual harvest of
salmon by the household. No more
than 50 percent of the annual household limit may be sold under paragraphs (b)(11) and (12) of this section
when taken together. These customary
trade sales must be immediately recorded on a customary trade recordkeeping form. The recording requirement and the responsibility to ensure
the household limit is not exceeded
rests with the seller.
(iii) Customary trade of Yukon River
Chinook salmon may only occur between Federally qualified rural residents with a current customary and
traditional use determination for
Yukon River Chinook salmon.
(12) Transactions between a rural resident and others. In customary trade, a
rural resident may exchange fish, their
parts, or their eggs, legally taken
under the regulations in this part, for
cash from individuals other than rural
residents if the individual who purchases the fish, their parts, or their
eggs uses them for personal or family
consumption. If you are not a rural
resident, you may not sell fish, their
parts, or their eggs taken under the
regulations in this part. The Board
may recognize regional differences and
regulates customary trade differently
for separate regions of the State.
(i) Bristol Bay Fishery Management
Area—The total cash value per household of salmon taken within Federal

taking fish under State of Alaska sport
fishing regulations.
(17) Unless restricted in this section,
or unless restricted under the terms of
a subsistence fishing permit, you may
take fish for subsistence uses at any
time.

section, as well as the head, tail, fins,
and viscera of legally taken subsistence fish.
(20) The taking of fish from waters
within Federal jurisdiction is authorized outside of published open seasons
or harvest limits if the harvested fish

(i) Prior to attempting to take fish,
the person (or designee) or Tribal Government organizing the ceremony contacts the appropriate Federal fisheries
manager to provide the nature of the
ceremony, the parties and/or clans involved, the species and the number of
fish to be taken, and the Federal waters from which the harvest will occur;
(ii) The taking does not violate recognized principles of fisheries conservation, and uses the methods and
means allowable for the particular species published in the applicable Federal
regulations (the Federal fisheries manager will establish the number, species,
or place of taking if necessary for conservation purposes);

(iii) Each person who takes fish
under this section must, as soon as
practical, and not more than 15 days
after the harvest, submit a written report to the appropriate Federal fisheries manager, specifying the harvester’s name and address, the number
and species of fish taken, and the date
and locations of the taking; and

species, location and date of catch, and
other such information as may be required for management or conservation
purposes; and
(v) If the return of catch information
necessary for management and conservation purposes is required by a
fishing permit and you fail to comply
with such reporting requirements, you
are ineligible to receive a subsistence
permit for that activity during the following calendar year, unless you demonstrate that failure to report was due
to loss in the mail, accident, sickness,
or other unavoidable circumstances.
You must also return any tags or
