NMFS issued a portion of the Processor Quota Share (PQS) for the Bering Sea snow crab fishery and the Saint Matthew Island blue king crab fishery without a ROFR designation. Saint Paul and Saint George are the only two communities in the North Region that have historically received and processed Bering Sea snow crab and Saint Matthew Island blue king crab; therefore, they would be the affected communities for the purposes of an exemption from the regional delivery requirements.


The Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) entity representing Saint Paul is the Central Bering Sea Fishermen's Association (CBSFA). The CDQ representative for Saint George is the Aleutian Pribilof Island Community Development Association (APICDA). After NMFS notified APICDA and CBSFA of the deadline to designate a community representative for each of the two communities, St. Paul responded by designating CBSFA and St. George designated APICDA.


APICDA and CBSFA had 180 days from the effective date of the final rule (78 FR 28523, May 15, 2013) to inform NMFS in writing that they had designated a single community representative responsible for signing the framework agreement, the Preseason Application, the exemption contract, and the Inseason Application.


On or before December 9, 2013, APICDA and CBSFA notified NMFS in writing that they had designated a single community representative responsible for these two communities
