Instructions
SUBSISTENCE HALIBUT
COMMUNITY HARVEST PERMIT (CHP) LOG
The Subsistence Halibut Fishery is authorized by Federal regulations at 50 CFR part 300 and provides for
eligible persons to conduct subsistence halibut fishing in Convention waters off Alaska. Subsistence halibut is
halibut caught by an eligible rural resident or member of an Alaska Native tribe for direct personal or family
consumption as food, sharing for personal or family consumption as food, or for customary trade. Subsistence
fishing for halibut may be conducted only by persons who qualify for such fishing pursuant to paragraph 50
CFR 300.65(g) and who hold a valid subsistence halibut registration certificate (SHARC) in that person's name.
Subsistence halibut fishing may be conducted in IPHC Regulatory Areas as shown in Figure 15 to 50 CFR part
679.
Each CHP will be valid only for the period of time specified on the permit. A CHP will expire one year from
the date of issuance to a community or Alaska Native tribe eligible to harvest halibut. A community or Alaska
Native tribe may renew its CHP. A CHP consists of five laminated CHP cards and one CHP log.
NOTE: As a prerequisite for receiving additional permits, all previously issued harvest logs must be returned
to NMFS at the time of application for a new permit. A community or tribe that fails to return previously
issued harvest logs will not receive any additional permit until all previously issued harvest logs are returned to
NMFS.
Eligible communities or Alaska Native tribes may appoint one CHP Coordinator per community or tribe. Each
fisherman must have one of the laminated CHP cards as well as his or her valid SHARC in his or her possession
when fishing under the CHP.
The CHP Coordinator must maintain the CHP Harvest Log.
Each CHP Coordinator must ensure:
● The designated harvesters who may fish under the CHP are identified on the CHP Harvest Log when the
CHP is issued to the designated harvesters;
●

The CHP remains in the possession of the CHP Coordinator or other tribal or government authority
when not in use and is issued to the designated harvesters when necessary; and

●

All required recordkeeping and data reporting of subsistence harvests under the CHP are performed.

Each CHP Harvest Log must be submitted to NMFS on or before the date of expiration by fax or mail, as
provided below.

NMFS, Alaska Region
