Subpart C—West Coast Groundfish Fisheries
Source: 75 FR 60897, Oct. 1, 2010, unless otherwise noted.

§ 660.10 Purpose and scope.
(a) Subparts C through G of this part implement the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan
(PCGFMP) developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council. Subparts C through G govern fishing
vessels of the U.S. in the EEZ off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. All weights are in
round weight or round-weight equivalents, unless specified otherwise.
(b) Any person fishing subject to subparts C through G of this part is bound by the international boundaries
described in this section, notwithstanding any dispute or negotiation between the U.S. and any
neighboring country regarding their respective jurisdictions, until such time as new boundaries are
established or recognized by the U.S.

§ 660.11 General definitions.
These definitions are specific to the fisheries covered in subparts C through G of this part.
Acceptable Biological Catch (ABC) means a harvest specification that is set below the overfishing limit to
account for scientific uncertainty in the estimate of OFL, and other scientific uncertainty.
Active sampling unit means the portion of the groundfish fleet in which an observer coverage plan is being
applied.
Address of Record means the business address a person has provided to NMFS for NMFS use in providing
notice of agency actions and other business with that person.
Allocation. (See § 600.10 of this chapter)
Annual Catch Limit (ACL) is a harvest specification set equal to or below the ABC threshold in consideration of
conservation objectives, socioeconomic concerns, management uncertainty and other factors. The ACL is
a harvest limit that includes all sources of fishing-related mortality including landings, discard mortality,
research catches, and catches in exempted fishing permit activities. Sector-specific annual catch limits
can be specified, especially in cases where a sector has a formal, long-term allocation of the harvestable
surplus of a stock or stock complex.
Annual Catch Target (ACT) is a management target set below the annual catch limit and may be used as an
accountability measure in cases where there is great uncertainty in inseason catch monitoring to ensure
against exceeding an annual catch limit. Since the annual catch target is a target and not a limit it can be
used in lieu of harvest guidelines or strategically to accomplish other management objectives. Sectorspecific annual catch targets can also be specified to accomplish management objectives.
Artificial lure means any manufactured or man-made non-scented/non-flavored (regardless if scent or flavor is
added in the manufacturing process or added afterwards) device complete with hooks, intended to attract
fish. Artificial lures include, but are not limited to: spoons, spinners, artificial flies, and plugs. Artificial
lures are made of metal, plastic, wood, or other non-edible materials.

legally incapacitated and a trustee is appointed to act on his behalf, nor if the ownership of shares among
existing members changes, nor if a member leaves the corporation or partnership and is not replaced.
Changes in the ownership of publicly held stock will not be deemed changes in ownership of the
corporation.
Closure or closed means, when referring to closure of a fishery or a closed fishery, that taking and retaining,
possessing, or landing the particular species or species group covered by the fishing closure is prohibited.
Unless otherwise announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER or authorized in this subpart, offloading must begin

Conservation area(s) means an enclosed geographic area defined by coordinates expressed in degrees latitude
and longitude where NMFS may prohibit fishing with particular gear types. Conservation areas include
Groundfish Conservation Areas (GCA), Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas (EFHCA) and Deep-sea
Ecosystem Conservation Areas (DECA).
(1) Groundfish Conservation Area or GCA means a conservation area created or modified and enforced
to control catch of groundfish or protected species. Regulations at § 660.60(c)(3) describe the
various purposes for which NMFS may implement certain types of GCAs through routine
management measures. Regulations at § 660.70 further describe and define coordinates for certain
GCAs, including: Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Areas; Cowcod Conservation Areas; Groundfish
Exclusion Areas; waters encircling the Farallon Islands; and waters encircling the Cordell Bank. GCAs
also include closures bounded by the EEZ or depth-based lines approximating depth contours,
including Bycatch Reduction Areas or BRAs, or bounded by depth contours and lines of latitude,
including Block Area Closures, or BACs, and Rockfish Conservation Areas, or RCAs, which may be
closed to fishing with particular gear types. BRA, BAC, and RCA boundaries may change seasonally
according to conservation needs. Regulations at §§ 660.71 through 660.74, and § 660.76 define
depth-based boundary lines with latitude/longitude coordinates that may be used to enact depthbased closures. Regulations in this section describe commonly used geographic coordinates that
define lines of latitude. Fishing prohibitions associated with GCAs are in addition to those
associated with other conservation areas.
(i)

Block Area Closures or BACs are bounded on the north and south by commonly used
geographic coordinates defined in this section, and on the east and west by the EEZ, and
boundary lines approximating depth contours, defined with latitude and longitude coordinates
at §§ 660.71 through 660.74 (10 fm (18 m) through 250 fm (457 m)), and § 660.76 (700 fm
(1,280 m)). BACs may be implemented or modified as routine management measures, per the
provisions of § 660.60(c). BACs may be implemented to control catch of groundfish by vessels
taking and retaining groundfish in the EEZ seaward of Washington, Oregon, and California for
vessels using any gear type (trawl or non-trawl). BACs may be implemented to minimize
bycatch of Chinook salmon and coho salmon by bottom trawl or midwater trawl vessels in the
EEZ seaward of Oregon and California, and by midwater trawl vessels in the EEZ seaward of
Washington, but shoreward of the boundary line approximating the 250 fm (457 m) depth
contour as defined in § 660.74. BACs may vary in their geographic boundaries, duration, and the
gears to which they apply. Their geographic boundaries, applicable gear type(s) and/or specific
fishery program, and effective dates will be announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER. BACs may be
implemented within tribal Usual and Accustomed fishing areas but may only apply to non-tribal
vessels. BACs may have a specific termination date as described in the FEDERAL REGISTER, or
may be in effect until modified. BACs that are in effect until modified by NMFS are set out in the
trip limit tables of subparts D through F of this part.

(ii) Bycatch Reduction Areas or BRAs are conservation areas that apply to vessels using midwater
groundfish trawl gear during the Pacific whiting primary season, as described at §§ 660.60(d)
and 660.131(c).

(vi) Groundfish Exclusion Areas or GEAs are closed areas intended to mitigate potential impacts to
sensitive environments from certain groundfish fishing activity. GEAs may prohibit fishing by
certain groundfish sectors or certain groundfish gear types. Geographic coordinates for GEAs
are defined at § 660.70.
(vii) Rockfish Conservation Areas or RCAs. RCA restrictions are detailed in subparts D through G of
this part. RCAs may apply to a single gear type or to a group of gear types such as “trawl RCAs”
or “non-trawl RCAs.” Specific latitude and longitude coordinates for RCA boundaries that
approximate the depth contours selected for trawl, non-trawl, and recreational RCAs are
provided in §§ 660.71 through 660.74. Also provided in §§ 660.71 through 660.74, are
references to islands and rocks that serve as reference points for the RCAs.
(A) Trawl (Limited Entry and Open Access Non-groundfish Trawl Gears) RCAs. The trawl RCAs
are intended to protect a complex of species, such as overfished shelf rockfish species,
and have boundaries defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates approximating
depth contours. Boundaries for the limited entry trawl RCA throughout the year are
provided in Table 1 (North) subpart D of this part. Boundaries for the open access nongroundfish trawl RCA throughout the year are provided in Table 3 (South) subpart F of this
part. Boundaries of the trawl RCAs may be modified by NMFS inseason pursuant to §
660.60(c).
(B) Non-Trawl (Limited Entry Fixed Gear and Open Access Non-trawl Gears) RCAs. Non-trawl
RCAs are intended to protect a complex of species, such as overfished shelf rockfish
species, and have boundaries defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates
approximating depth contours. Boundaries for the non-trawl RCA throughout the year are
provided in Table 2 (North) and Table 2 (South) of subpart E of this part, and Table 3
(North) and Table 3 (South) of subpart F of this part, and may be modified by NMFS
inseason pursuant to § 660.60(c).
(C) Recreational RCAs. Recreational RCAs are closed areas intended to protect overfished
rockfish species. In the EEZ seaward of California, recreational RCAs are also intended to
limit catch of non-overfished groundfish species. Recreational RCAs may either have
boundaries defined by general depth contours or boundaries defined by specific latitude
and longitude coordinates approximating depth contours. Boundaries for the recreational
RCAs throughout the year are provided in the text in subpart G of this part under each
state (Washington, Oregon and California) and may be modified by NMFS inseason
pursuant to § 660.60(c).
(viii) Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Areas or YRCAs are defined at § 660.70.
(2) Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Area or EFHCA means an area created and enforced to
contribute to the protection of groundfish essential fish habitat. Regulations at §§ 660.75 through
660.79 define EFHCA boundaries. Fishing prohibitions associated with EFHCAs, which are found at
§§ 660.12, 660.112, 660.212, and 660.312, are in addition to those prohibitions associated with
other conservation areas.

processing means either of the following:
(i)

Any activity that takes place shoreside; and that involves: Cutting groundfish into smaller
portions; or freezing, cooking, smoking, drying groundfish; or packaging that groundfish for
resale into 100 pound units or smaller; for sale or distribution into a wholesale or retail market.

(ii) The purchase and redistribution in to a wholesale or retail market of live groundfish from a

trip in the non-trawl electronic logbook application with valid responses for all data fields in the
application, except for information not yet ascertainable, prior to entering port, subject to the
following requirements:
(A) Setting gear. Logbook entries for setting gear, including vessel information, gear
specifications, set date/time/location, must be completed within 2 hours of setting gear.
The authorized representative of each vessel may record or document this information in
a format outside of the electronic logbook application (e.g., waterproof paper).
Information recorded outside of the electronic logbook application must be available for
review at-sea by authorized law enforcement personnel upon request, and must be
entered into the electronic application per subparagraph C.
(B) Retrieving gear. Logbook entries for retrieving gear, including date/time recovered and

law enforcement personnel upon request, and must be entered into the electronic
application per subparagraph C.
(C) Non-Trawl Electronic Logbook Submission. The authorized representative of the vessel
must complete and submit entries in the non-trawl electronic logbook application within
24 hours of the completion of offload, including information under subparagraphs A and B
that was captured but not recorded in the electronic logbook application while fishing.
(4) Non-Trawl Paper Logbook. For a minimum of one year from the effective date of the final rule,
vessels subject to this non-trawl logbook requirement are permitted to submit a paper logbook form
in lieu of the requirement to fill out the non-trawl electronic logbook application. The West Coast
Regional Administrator will prescribe the paper logbook forms required under this section. NMFS will
issue a public notice at least 90 calendar days prior to ending the optional provision to submit a
paper logbook. The authorized representative of the vessel must complete the non-trawl logbook
form on all groundfish trips, subject to the same requirements as for the non-trawl electronic
logbook application, listed above in § 660.13(a)(3)(i) through (ii). The authorized representative of
the vessel must deliver the NMFS copy of the non-trawl logbook form by mail, email, or in person to
NMFS or its agent within 30 days of landing. The authorized representative of the vessel responsible
for submitting the non-trawl logbook forms must maintain a copy of all submitted logbooks for a
minimum of three years after the fishing activity ended.
(b) Any person who is required to do so by the applicable state law must make and/or file, retain, or make
available any and all reports (i.e., logbooks, state landing receipts, etc.) of groundfish harvests and
landings containing all data, and in the exact manner, required by the applicable state law.

is fished. The declaration may be made from sea and must be made to NMFS before a different
type (bottom or midwater only) of groundfish trawl gear is fished.

(ii) Limited entry midwater trawl vessels targeting Pacific whiting may change their declarations
while at sea between the Pacific whiting shorebased IFQ sector and the mothership sector as
specified at paragraph (d)(4)(iv)(A) of this section. The declaration must be made to NMFS
before a different sector is fished.
(2) Declaration reports for all vessels using non-groundfish trawl gear. The operator of any vessel that is
not registered to a limited entry permit and which uses non-groundfish trawl gear to fish in the EEZ
(3-200 nm offshore), must provide NMFS OLE with a declaration report, as specified at paragraph
(d)(4)(iv) of this section, before the vessel leaves port to fish in the EEZ.
(3) Declaration reports for open access vessels using non trawl gear (all types of open access gear other
than non-groundfish trawl gear). The operator of any vessel that is not registered to a limited entry
permit, must provide NMFS with a declaration report, as specified at paragraph (d)(4)(iv) of this
section, before the vessel leaves port on a trip in which the vessel is used to take and retain or
possess groundfish in the EEZ or land groundfish taken in the EEZ.
(4) Declaration reports.
(i)

The operator of a vessel specified in paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), and (d)(3) of this section must
provide a declaration report to NMFS OLE prior to leaving port on the first trip in which the
vessel meets the requirement specified at § 660.14(b) to have a VMS.

(ii) A declaration report will be valid until another declaration report revising the existing gear,
monitoring, or fishery, declaration is received by NMFS OLE. The vessel operator must send a
new declaration report before leaving port on a trip that meets one of the following criteria:
(A) A gear type that is different from the gear type most recently declared for the vessel will be
used, or
(B) A monitoring type that is different from the monitoring type most recently declared for the
vessel will be used, or
(C) A vessel will fish in a fishery other than the fishery most recently declared.
(iii) During the period of time that a vessel has a valid declaration report on file with NMFS OLE, it
cannot fish with a gear and monitoring type other than a gear type and monitoring type
declared by the vessel or fish in a fishery other than the fishery most recently declared.

(iv) Declaration reports will include: The vessel name and/or identification number, gear type, and
monitoring type where applicable, (as defined in paragraph (d)(4)(iv)(A) of this section). Upon
receipt of a declaration report, NMFS will provide a confirmation code or receipt to confirm that
a valid declaration report was received for the vessel. Retention of the confirmation code or
receipt to verify that a valid declaration report was filed and the declaration requirement was
met is the responsibility of the vessel owner or operator. Vessels using non-trawl gear may
declare more than one gear type with the exception of vessels participating in the Shorebased
IFQ Program (i.e., gear switching) and those vessels declaring to fish inside the Non-Trawl RCA
with non-bottom contact stationary vertical jig gear or groundfish troll gear (i.e., if one of these
declarations is used, no other declaration may be made on that fishing trip); however, vessels
using trawl gear may only declare one of the trawl gear types listed in paragraph (d)(4)(iv)(A) of
this section on any trip and may not declare non-trawl gear on the same trip in which trawl gear
is declared.
(A) One of the following gear types or sectors, and monitoring type where applicable, must be
declared:
(1) Limited entry fixed gear, not including shorebased IFQ (declaration code 10);
(2) Limited entry groundfish non-trawl, shorebased IFQ, observer (declaration code 11);

§ 660.14 Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) requirements.
(a) What is a VMS? A VMS consists of a NMFS OLE type-approved mobile transceiver unit that automatically
determines the vessel's position and transmits it to a NMFS OLE type-approved communications service
provider. The communications service provider receives the transmission and relays it to NMFS OLE.
(b) Who is Required to Have a VMS? The following vessels are required to install a NMFS OLE type-approved
mobile transceiver unit and to arrange for a NMFS OLE type-approved communications service provider to
receive and relay transmissions to NMFS OLE prior to fishing:
(1) Any vessel registered for use with a limited entry “A” endorsed permit (i.e., not an MS permit) that
fishes in state or Federal waters seaward of the baseline from which the territorial sea is measured
off the States of Washington, Oregon or California (0-200 nm offshore).
(2) Any vessel that uses non-groundfish trawl gear to fish in the EEZ.
(3) Any vessel that uses open access gear to take and retain, or possess groundfish in the EEZ or land
groundfish taken in the EEZ.
(c) How are Mobile Transceiver Units and Communications Service Providers Approved by NMFS OLE?
(1) NMFS OLE will publish type-approval specifications for VMS components in the FEDERAL REGISTER or
notify the public through other appropriate media.
(2) Mobile transceiver unit manufacturers or communication service providers will submit products or
services to NMFS OLE for evaluation based on the published specifications.
(3) NMFS OLE may publish a list of NMFS OLE type-approved mobile transceiver units and
communication service providers for the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery in the FEDERAL REGISTER or
notify the public through other appropriate media. As necessary, NMFS OLE may publish
amendments to the list of type-approved mobile transceiver units and communication service
providers in the FEDERAL REGISTER or through other appropriate media. A list of VMS transceivers that
have been type-approved by NMFS OLE may be mailed to the permit owner's address of record.
NMFS will bear no responsibility if a notification is sent to the address of record and is not received
because the applicant's actual address has changed without notification to NMFS, as required at §
660.25(b)(4)(i)(B).
(d) What are the Vessel Owner's Responsibilities? If you are a vessel owner that must participate in the VMS
program, you or the vessel operator must:

page 37 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.14(d)(1)

(1) Obtain a NMFS OLE type-approved mobile transceiver unit and have it installed on board your vessel
in accordance with the instructions provided by NMFS OLE. You may obtain a copy of the VMS
installation and operation instructions from the NMFS OLE West Coast Region, VMS Program
Manager upon request at 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-6349, phone: 888-585-5518 or
[email protected].
(2) Activate the mobile transceiver unit, submit an activation report at least 72 hours prior to leaving port
on a trip in which VMS is required, and receive confirmation from NMFS OLE that the VMS
transmissions are being received before participating in a fishery requiring the VMS. Instructions for
submitting an activation report may be obtained from the NMFS OLE West Coast Region, VMS
Program Manager upon request at 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-6349, phone:
888-585-5518 or [email protected]. An activation report must again be submitted to NMFS OLE
following reinstallation of a mobile transceiver unit or change in service provider before the vessel
may be used to fish in a fishery requiring the VMS.
(i)

Activation reports. If you are a vessel owner who must use VMS and you are activating a VMS
transceiver unit for the first time or reactivating a VMS transceiver unit following a reinstallation
of a mobile transceiver unit or change in service provider, you must fax NMFS OLE an activation
report that includes: Vessel name; vessel owner's name, address and telephone number, vessel
operator's name, address and telephone number, USCG vessel documentation number/state
registration number; if applicable, the groundfish permit number the vessel is registered to;
VMS transceiver unit manufacturer; VMS communications service provider; VMS transceiver
identification; identifying if the unit is the primary or backup; and a statement signed and dated
by the vessel owner confirming compliance with the installation procedures provided by NMFS
OLE.

(ii) Transferring ownership of VMS unit. Ownership of the VMS transceiver unit may be transferred
from one vessel owner to another vessel owner if all of the following documents are provided
to NMFS OLE: A new activation report, which identifies that the transceiver unit was previously
registered to another vessel; a notarized bill of sale showing proof of ownership of the VMS
transceiver unit; documentation from the communications service provider showing proof that
the service agreement for the previous vessel was terminated and that a service agreement
was established for the new vessel.
(3) Operate and maintain the mobile transceiver unit in good working order continuously, 24 hours a day
throughout the fishing year, unless such vessel is exempted under paragraph (d)(4) of this section.
(i)

Position frequency. The mobile transceiver unit must transmit a signal accurately indicating the
vessel's position at least once every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day, throughout the year unless an
exemption in paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of this section applies or a valid exemption report, as
described in paragraph (d)(4) of this section, has been received by NMFS OLE. The signal
indicating the vessel's position can consist of either: A single position report transmitted every
15 minutes; or a series of position reports, at no more than a 15 minute interval, combined and
transmitted at least once every hour.

(ii) Exemptions to position frequency requirement —
(A) Electronic monitoring exemption. If a vessel has an electronic monitoring system installed
and in use for the duration of a given fishing year, the mobile transceiver unit must
transmit a signal at least once every hour.

Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.14(d)(3)(ii)(B)

(B) Midwater trawl exemption. If a limited entry trawl vessel is fishing with midwater trawl gear
under declarations in § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A), the mobile transceiver unit must transmit a
signal at least once every hour.
(C) In port exemption. If a vessel remains in port for an extended period of time, the mobile
transceiver unit must transmit a signal at least once every four hours. The mobile
transceiver unit must remain in continuous operation at all times unless the vessel is
exempt under paragraph (d)(4) of this section.
(D) Pink shrimp trawl exemption. If a vessel is fishing for pink shrimp using non-groundfish
trawl gear under declarations in § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A), the mobile transceiver unit must
transmit a signal at least once every hour.
(4) VMS exemptions. A vessel that is required to operate and maintain the mobile transceiver unit
continuously 24 hours a day throughout the fishing year may be exempted from this requirement if a
valid exemption report, as described at paragraph (d)(4)(ix) of this section, is received by NMFS OLE
and the vessel is in compliance with all conditions and requirements of the VMS exemption
identified in this section and specified in the exemption report.
(i)

Haul out exemption. When it is anticipated that a vessel will be continuously out of the water for
more than 7 consecutive days and a valid exemption report has been received by NMFS OLE,
electrical power to the VMS mobile transceiver unit may be removed and transmissions may be
discontinued. Under this exemption, VMS transmissions can be discontinued from the time the
vessel is removed from the water until the time that the vessel is placed back in the water.

(ii) Outside areas exemption. When the vessel will be operating seaward of the EEZ off Washington,
Oregon, or California continuously for more than 7 consecutive days and a valid exemption
report has been received by NMFS OLE, the VMS mobile transceiver unit transmissions may be
reduced or discontinued from the time the vessel leaves the EEZ off the coasts of Washington,
Oregon or California until the time that the vessel re-enters the EEZ off the coasts of
Washington, Oregon or California. Under this exemption, the vessel owner or operator can
request that NMFS OLE reduce or discontinue the VMS transmissions after receipt of an
exemption report, if the vessel is equipped with a VMS transceiver unit that NMFS OLE has
approved for this exemption.
(iii) Permit exemption. If the limited entry permit had a change in vessel registration so that it is no
longer registered to the vessel (for the purposes of this section, this includes permits placed
into “unidentified” status), the vessel may be exempted from VMS requirements providing the
vessel is not used in a fishery requiring VMS off the States of Washington, Oregon or California
(0-200 nm offshore) for the remainder of the fishing year. If the vessel is used to fish in this
area for any species of fish at any time during the remaining portion of the fishing year without
being registered to a limited entry permit, the vessel is required to have and use VMS.
(iv) Long-term departure exemption. A vessel participating in the open access fishery that is
required to have VMS under paragraph (b)(2) of this section may be exempted from VMS
provisions after the end of the fishing year in which it used non-groundfish trawl gear, providing
the vessel submits a completed exemption report signed by the vessel owner that includes a
statement signed by the vessel owner indicating that the vessel will not use non-groundfish
trawl gear to fish in the EEZ during the new fishing year. A vessel participating in the open
access fishery that is required to have VMS under paragraph (b)(3) of this section also may be
exempted from VMS provisions after the end of the fishing year in which it fished in the open

access fishery, providing the vessel submits a completed exemption report signed by the vessel
owner that includes a statement signed by the vessel owner indicating that the vessel will not
be used to take and retain or possess groundfish in the EEZ or land groundfish taken in the EEZ
during the new fishing year.
(v) Maintenance Exemption. When it is anticipated that a vessel will be without power or in a
maintenance condition for more than 4 consecutive hours, preventing operation of the vessel's
VMS unit, and if a valid exemption report has been received by NMFS OLE, electrical power to
the VMS mobile transceiver unit may be removed and transmissions may be discontinued.
Under this exemption, VMS transmissions can be discontinued from the time the vessel is in
the maintenance condition until the time the maintenance is completed.
(vi) Sale of Vessel Exemption. When a new vessel owner purchases a vessel with VMS and does not
intend to participate in an activity requiring VMS, but the previous vessel owner had not
received a VMS exemption prior to the sale, VMS transmissions may be discontinued by the
new vessel owner. Under this exemption, VMS transmissions can be discontinued indefinitely,
upon purchase of the vessel, and no subsequent VMS transmissions will be required unless the
new vessel owner engages in an activity requiring VMS.
(vii) Emergency exemption. Vessels required to have VMS under paragraph (b) of this section may
be exempted from VMS provisions in emergency situations that are beyond the vessel owner's
control, including but not limited to: Fire, flooding, or extensive physical damage to critical areas
of the vessel. A vessel owner may apply for an emergency exemption from the VMS
requirements specified in paragraph (b) of this section for his/her vessel by sending a written
request to NMFS OLE specifying the following information: The reasons for seeking an
exemption, including any supporting documents (e.g., repair invoices, photographs showing
damage to the vessel, insurance claim forms, etc.); the time period for which the exemption is
requested; and the location of the vessel while the exemption is in effect. NMFS OLE will issue
a written determination granting or denying the emergency exemption request. A vessel will not
be covered by the emergency exemption until NMFS OLE issues a determination granting the
exemption. If an exemption is granted, the duration of the exemption will be specified in the
NMFS OLE determination.
(viii) Submission of exemption reports. Signed long-term departure exemption reports must be
submitted by fax or by emailing an electronic copy of the actual report. In the event of an
emergency in which an emergency exemption request will be submitted, initial contact with
NMFS OLE must be made by telephone, fax or email within 24 hours from when the incident
occurred. Emergency exemption requests must be requested in writing within 72 hours from
when the incident occurred. Maintenance exemption requests must include signed written
documentation of the work being done and the name of the company doing the work, if
applicable. Sale of Vessel exemption requests must include documentation of purchase of the
vessel by the new owner. Other exemption reports must be submitted through the VMS or
another method that is approved by NMFS OLE and announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER.
Submission methods for exemption requests, except maintenance, sale of vessel, long-term
departures and emergency exemption requests, may include email, facsimile, or telephone.
NMFS OLE will provide, through appropriate media, instructions to the public on submitting
exemption reports. Instructions and other information needed to make exemption reports may
be mailed to the vessel owner's address of record. NMFS will bear no responsibility if a
notification is sent to the address of record for the vessel owner and is not received because
the vessel owner's actual address has changed without notification to NMFS. Owners of

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.14(d)(4)(ix)

vessels required to use VMS who do not receive instructions by mail are responsible for
contacting NMFS OLE during business hours at least 3 days before the exemption is required to
be submitted to obtain information needed to make exemption reports. NMFS OLE must be
contacted during business hours (Monday through Friday between 0800 and 1700 Pacific
Time).
(ix) Valid exemption reports. For an exemption report to be valid, it must be received by NMFS at
least 2 hours and not more than 24 hours before the exempted activities defined at paragraphs
(d)(4)(i) through (vi) of this section occur. An exemption report is valid until NMFS receives a
report canceling the exemption. An exemption cancellation must be received at least 2 hours
before the vessel re-enters the EEZ following an outside areas exemption; at least 2 hours
before the vessel is placed back in the water following a haul out exemption; at least 2 hours
before the vessel operates following a maintenance exemption; at least 2 hours before the
vessel resumes fishing for a species of fish or with gear requiring VMS in state or Federal
waters off the States of Washington, Oregon, or California after it has received a permit
exemption; or at least 2 hours before a vessel resumes fishing in the open access fishery after
a long-term departure exemption. If a vessel is required to submit an activation report under
paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section before returning to fish, that report may substitute for the
exemption cancellation. Initial contact must be made with NMFS OLE not more than 24 hours
after the time that an emergency situation occurred in which VMS transmissions were
disrupted and followed by a written emergency exemption request within 72 hours from when
the incident occurred. If the emergency situation upon which an emergency exemption is based
is resolved before the exemption expires, an exemption cancellation must be received by NMFS
at least 2 hours before the vessel resumes fishing.
(5) When aware that transmission of automatic position reports has been interrupted, or when notified
by NMFS OLE that automatic position reports are not being received, contact NMFS West Coast
Region, VMS Program Manager upon request at 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115-6349,
phone: 888-585-5518 or [email protected] and follow the instructions provided to you. Such
instructions may include, but are not limited to, manually communicating to a location designated by
NMFS OLE the vessel's position or returning to port until the VMS is operable.
(6) After a fishing trip during which interruption of automatic position reports has occurred, the vessel's
owner or operator must replace or repair the mobile transceiver unit prior to the vessel's next fishing
trip. Repair or reinstallation of a mobile transceiver unit or installation of a replacement, including
change of communications service provider shall be in accordance with the instructions provided by
NMFS OLE and require the same certification.
(7) Make the mobile transceiver units available for inspection by NMFS OLE personnel, USCG personnel,
state enforcement personnel or any authorized officer.
(8) Ensure that the mobile transceiver unit is not tampered with, disabled, destroyed, operated, or
maintained improperly.
(9) Pay all charges levied by the communication service provider as necessary to ensure continuous
operation of the VMS transceiver units.

§ 660.15 Equipment requirements.
(a) Applicability. This section contains the equipment and operational requirements for scales used to weigh
catch at sea, scales used to weigh catch at IFQ first receivers, hardware and software for electronic fish
tickets, and computer hardware for electronic logbook software. Unless otherwise specified by regulation,
the operator or manager must retain, for 3 years, a copy of all records described in this section and make
the records available upon request to NMFS staff or an authorized officer.
(b) Scales used to weigh fish at sea. Vessel owners, operators, and managers are jointly and severally
responsible for their vessel's compliance with the requirements specified in this section.
(1) Performance and technical requirements for scales in the MS and C/P Co-op Programs. A scale used
to weigh fish in the MS and C/P Co-op Programs must meet the type evaluation, initial inspection,
and annual reinspection requirements set forth in 50 CFR 679.28(b)(1) and (2), and must be
approved by NMFS to weigh fish at sea.
(2) Annual inspection. Once a scale is installed on a vessel and approved by NMFS for use to weigh fish
at sea, it must be reinspected annually within 12 months of the date of the most recent inspection to
determine if the scale meets all of the applicable performance and technical requirements as
described in 50 CFR 679.28(b).
(3) Daily testing. Each scale used to weigh fish must be tested at least once each calendar day to ensure
that each scale meets the maximum permissible error requirements described at paragraph (b)(4) of
this section.
(4) Daily at-sea scale tests. To verify that the scale meets the maximum permissible errors specified in
this paragraph, each scale used to weigh fish must be tested at least one time during each calendar
day when use of the scale is required. The tests must be performed in an accurate and timely
manner.
(i)

Flow or Belt scales —
(A) Maximum permissible errors. The maximum permissible errors for the daily at-sea scale
test is plus or minus 3 percent of the known weight of the test material.
(B) Test Procedure. A test must be conducted by weighing no less than 400 kg (882 lb) of test
material, supplied by the scale manufacturer or approved by a NMFS-authorized scale
inspector, on the scale under test. The test material may be run across the scale multiple
times in order to total 400 kg; however, no single run of test material across the scale may
weigh less than 40 kg (88.2 lb). The known weight of test material must be determined at
the time of each scale test by weighing it on a platform scale approved for use under 50
CFR 679.28(b)(7).

(ii) Platform scales required for observer sampling or to determine known weight of test material on
mothership and catcher/processor vessels —
(A) Maximum permissible errors. The maximum permissible errors for the daily at-sea scale
test for platform scales is plus or minus 0.5 percent of the weight tested.

(B) Test Procedure. A platform scale used for observer sampling must be tested at 10, 25, and
50 kg (or 20, 50, and 100 lb if the scale is denominated in pounds) using approved test
weights. Any combination of test weights that will allow the scale to be tested at 10 kg, 25
kg, and 50 kg may be used. A platform scale used to weigh fish must be tested at a weight
equal to the largest amount of fish that will be weighed on the scale in one weighing.
(C) Approved test weights. Each test weight must have its weight stamped on or otherwise
permanently affixed to it. The weight of each test weight must be annually certified by a
National Institute of Standards and Technology-approved metrology laboratory or
approved for continued use by the NMFS authorized inspector at the time of the annual
scale inspection.
(iii) Requirements for all at-sea scale tests. The following conditions must be met:
(A) Notify the observer at least 15 minutes before the time that the test will be conducted, and
conduct the test while the observer is present.
(B) Conduct the scale test by placing the test material or test weights on or across the scale
and recording the following information on the at-sea scale test report form:
(1) Vessel name;
(2) Month, day, and year of test;
(3) Time test started to the nearest minute in local time;
(4) Known weight of test materials or test weights;
(5) Weight of test material or test weights recorded by scale;
(6) Percent error as determined by subtracting the known weight of the test material or
test weights from the weight recorded on the scale, dividing that amount by the
known weight of the test material or test weights, and multiplying by 100; and
(7) Signature of operator.
(C) Maintain the scale test report form from all at-sea scale tests, including test report forms
from failed scale tests on board the vessel until the end of the fishing year during which
the tests were conducted, and make the report forms available to observers, NMFS staff,
or authorized officers. In addition, the scale test report forms must be retained for 3 years
after the end of the fishing year during which the tests were performed. Each scale test
report form must be signed by the operator immediately following completion of each
scale test.
(5) Scale maintenance. The scale must be maintained in proper operating condition throughout its use;
adjustments made to the scale must be made to bring the performance errors as close as
practicable to a zero value; and no adjustment may be made that will cause the scale to weigh fish
inaccurately.
(6) Printed reports from the scale (not applicable to observer sampling scales). Printed reports are
provided to NMFS as required by this paragraph. Printed reports from the scale must be maintained
on board the vessel until the end of the year during which the reports were made, and made available
to observers, NMFS staff or authorized officers. In addition, printed reports must be retained for 3
years after the end of the year during which the printouts were made.

Processor vessels required to weigh fish under the regulations in this section must provide and
maintain a NMFS-approved video monitoring system as specified in paragraph (e) of this section.
(c) Scales used to weigh fish at IFQ first receivers—performance and technical requirements. Scale
requirements in this paragraph are in addition to those requirements set forth by the State in which the
scale is located, and nothing in this paragraph may be construed to reduce or supersede the authority of
the State to regulate, test, or approve scales within the State. Scales used to weigh fish that are also
required to be approved by the State must meet the following requirements:
(1) Verification of approval. The scale must display a valid sticker indicating that the scale is currently
approved in accordance with the laws of the state where the scale is located.
(2) Visibility. The IFQ first receiver must ensure that the scale and scale display are visible
simultaneously to the catch monitor. Catch monitors, NMFS staff, NMFS-authorized personnel, or
authorized officers must be allowed to observe the weighing of fish on the scale and be allowed to
read the scale display at all times.
(3) Printed scale weights.
(i)

An IFQ first receiver must ensure that printouts of the scale weight of each delivery or offload
are made available to the catch monitor, NMFS staff, to NMFS-authorized personnel, or to
authorized officers at the time printouts are generated. An IFQ first receiver must maintain
printouts on site until the end of the fishing year during which the printouts were made and
make them available upon request by the catch monitor, NMFS staff, NMFS-authorized
personnel, or authorized officers for 3 years after the end of the fishing year during which the
printout was made.

(ii) All scales identified in a catch monitoring plan (see § 660.140(f)(3)) must produce a printed
record for each landing, or portion of a landing, weighed on that scale. NMFS may exempt,
through approval of the NMFS-accepted catch monitoring plan, scales not designed for
automatic bulk weighing from part or all of the printed record requirements. IFQ first receivers
that receive no more than 200,000 pounds of groundfish in any calendar month may be exempt
under § 660.140(j)(2). For scales that must produce a printed record, the printed record must
include:
(A) The IFQ first receiver's name;
(B) The weight of each load in the weighing cycle;
(C) The total weight of fish in each landing, or portion of the landing that was weighed on that
scale;
(D) For belt scales and weight belts, the total cumulative weight of all fish or other material
weighed on the scale since the last inspection;
(E) The date the information is printed; and
(F) The name and vessel registration or documentation number of the vessel making the

(4) Inseason scale testing. IFQ first receivers must allow, and provide reasonable assistance to NMFS
staff, NMFS-authorized personnel, and authorized officers to test scales used to weigh IFQ fish. A
scale that does not pass an inseason test may not be used to weigh IFQ fish until the scale passes
an inseason test or is approved for continued use by the weights and measures authorities of the
State in which the scale is located.
(i)

Inseason testing criteria. To pass an inseason test, NMFS staff or authorized officers must be
able to verify that:
(A) The scale display and printed information are clear and easily read under all conditions of
normal operation;
(B) Weight values are visible on the display until the value is printed;
(C) The scale does not exceed the maximum permissible errors specified in this paragraph:
(1) Flow scales (also known as belt scales and weight belts). The maximum permissible
error is plus or minus 0.25 percent of the known weight of the test material with
repeatability between tests of no more than 0.25 percent. Percent error is determined
by subtracting the known weight of the test material or test weights from the weight
recorded on the scale, dividing that amount by the known weight of the test material
or test weights, and multiplying by 100.

sends a notification or correspondence to the address of record and it is not received because the
applicant's actual address has changed without notification to NMFS.
(4) Statement of reasons for appeals. Applicants must submit a full written statement in support of the
appeal, including a concise statement of the reasons the IAD determination has a direct and adverse
effect on the applicant and should be reversed or modified. The appellate officer will limit his/her
review to the issues stated in the appeal; all issues not set out in the appeal will be waived.
(5) Decisions on appeals. The Regional Administrator or designee will issue a final written decision on
the appeal which is the final decision of the Secretary of Commerce.

(2) Remove any entangled lines or hooks from the bird without further injuring the bird;
(3) Place the bird in a safe enclosed place;
(4) If the hook has been ingested or is inaccessible, keep the bird in a safe, enclosed
place and submit it to NMFS or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service immediately upon
the vessel's return to port. Do not give the bird food or water.
(5) Assess whether the bird meets the following criteria for release:
(i)

Able to hold its head erect and respond to noise and motion stimuli;

(ii) Able to breathe without noise;
(iii) Capable of flapping and retracting both wings to normal folded position on its
back;
(iv) Able to stand on both feet with toes pointed forward; and
(v) Feathers are dry.
(6) If bird does not meet criteria for release:
(i)

Immediately contact NMFS or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the numbers
listed on the West Coast Seabird Avoidance Measures flyer and request
veterinary guidance;

(ii) Follow the veterinary guidance regarding the handling and release of the bird.
(D) If dead, freeze the bird immediately with an identification tag attached directly to the
specimen listing the species, location and date of mortality, and band number if the bird
has a leg band. Attach a duplicate identification tag to the bag or container holding the
bird. Any leg bands present must remain on the bird. Contact NMFS or the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service at the numbers listed on the West Coast Seabird Avoidance Measures
flyer, inform them that you have a dead short-tailed albatross on board, and submit the
bird to NMFS or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service within 72 hours following completion of
the fishing trip.
(E) All incidents involving the hooking of short-tailed albatross must be reported to U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service Law Enforcement by the vessel operator within 72 hours of taking an
albatross by phoning 360-753-7764 (WA); 503-682-6131 (OR); or 916-414-6660 (CA).
(F) If a NMFS observer is on board at the time of a hooking event, the observer shall be
responsible for the disposition of any captured short-tailed albatross and for reporting to
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Law Enforcement. Otherwise, the vessel operator shall be
responsible.
(2) Gear requirements and performance standards. The operator of a vessel identified in paragraph (b)(1)
of this section must comply with the following gear requirements:
(i)

For vessels with masts, poles, or rigging using snap gear as defined at § 660.11, the following
requirements apply:
(A) Vessels must deploy a minimum of a single streamer line in accordance with the
requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(iv) of this section, except as provided in paragraph

(B) Streamer lines must be a minimum length of 147.6 ft (45 m).
(C) Streamer lines must be deployed so that streamers are in the air a minimum of 65.6 ft (20
m) aft of the stern and within 6 ft 7 in (2 m) horizontally of the point where the main
groundline enters the water before the first hook is set. A minimum of 4 streamers must
be out of the water aft of the stern.
(ii) For vessels with masts, poles, or rigging using bottom longline other than snap gear, as defined
in paragraph (6)(i) of the definition of fishing gear in § 660.11, the following requirements apply:
(A) Streamer lines must be a minimum length of 300 feet (91.4 m).
(B) The number of streamer lines required and the streamer line deployment requirements
vary by vessel length as follows:
(1) Vessels greater than or equal to 26 feet (7.9 m) and less than 55 feet (16.8 m) LOA
must use a minimum of one streamer line. Streamer line must be deployed before
the first hook is set in such a way that streamers are in the air for a minimum of
131.2 ft (40 m) aft of the stern and within 6.6 ft (2 m) horizontally of the point where
the main groundline enters the water. A minimum of 8 streamers must be out of the
water aft of the stern.
(2) Vessels greater than or equal to 55 feet (16.8 m) LOA must use paired streamer lines.
At least one streamer line must be deployed before the first hook is set in such a way
that streamers are in the air for a minimum of 131.2 ft (40 m) aft of the stern and
within 6.6 ft (2 m) horizontally of the point where the main groundline enters the
water. A minimum of 8 streamers must be out of the water aft of the stern. The
second streamer line must be deployed within 90 seconds thereafter.
(i)

For vessels deploying gear from the stern, the streamer lines must be deployed
from the stern, one on each side of the main groundline.

(ii) For vessels deploying gear from the side, the streamer lines must be deployed
from the stern, one over the main groundline and the other on one side of the
main groundline.
(iii) Vessels without masts, poles, or rigging. A minimum of 1 buoy bag line must be used by
vessels without superstructure, including masts, poles, or rigging. The buoy bag line must hang
over the area where baited hooks may be accessible to seabirds, which is generally within 6.5
feet (2 m) of the sea surface.
(iv) The following weather safety exemptions apply, based on vessel length:
(A) Vessels greater than or equal to 26 feet (7.9 m) and less than 55 feet (16.8 m) LOA are
exempted from the requirements of paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section when a National
Weather Service Small Craft Advisory for Winds is in effect, or other National Weather
Service Advisory for wind speeds exceeding those that trigger a Small Craft Advisory for
Winds. This exemption applies only during the time and within the area indicated in the
National Weather Service Weather Advisory or in an area seaward of such an area.

§ 660.24 Limited entry and open access fisheries.
(a) General. All commercial fishing for groundfish must be conducted in accordance with the regulations
governing limited entry and open access fisheries, except such fishing by treaty Indian tribes as may be
separately provided for.
(b) [Reserved]

§ 660.25 Permits.
(a) General. Each of the permits or licenses in this section has different conditions or privileges as part of the
permit or license. The permits or licenses in this section confer a conditional privilege of participating in
the Pacific coast groundfish fishery, in accordance with Federal regulations in 50 CFR part 660, subparts C
through G.
(b) Limited entry permit —
(1) Eligibility and registration —
(i)

General. In order for a vessel to be used to fish in the limited entry fishery, the vessel owner
must hold a limited entry permit and, through SFD, must register that vessel for use with a
limited entry permit. When participating in the limited entry fishery, a vessel is authorized to fish
with the gear type endorsed on the limited entry permit registered for use with that vessel,
except that the MS permit does not have a gear endorsement. There are three types of gear
endorsements: Trawl, longline, and pot (or trap). All limited entry permits, except the MS permit,
have size endorsements; a vessel registered for use with a limited entry permit must comply
with the vessel size requirements of this subpart. A sablefish endorsement is also required for
a vessel to be used to fish in the primary season for the limited entry fixed gear sablefish
fishery, north of 36° N. lat. Certain limited entry permits will also have endorsements required
for participation in a specific fishery, such as the MS/CV endorsement and the C/P
endorsement.

(ii) Eligibility. Only a person eligible to own a documented vessel under the terms of 46 U.S.C.
12113 (a) may be issued or may hold a limited entry permit.
(iii) Registration. Limited entry permits will normally be registered for use with a particular vessel at
the time the permit is issued, renewed, or replaced. If the permit will be used with a vessel other
than the one registered on the permit, the permit owner must register that permit for use with
the new vessel through the SFD. The reissued permit must be placed on board the new vessel
in order for the vessel to be used to fish in the limited entry fishery.

50 CFR 660.25(b)(1)(iii) (enhanced display)

page 65 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(1)(iii)(A)

(A) For all limited entry permits, including MS permits, MS/CV-endorsed permits, and C/Pendorsed permits when they are not fishing in the at-sea whiting fisheries, registration of a
limited entry permit to be used with a new vessel will take effect no earlier than the first
day of the next major limited entry cumulative limit period following the date SFD receives
the change in vessel registration form and the original permit.
(B) For MS permits, MS/CV-endorsed permits, and C/P-endorsed permits when they are
fishing in the at-sea whiting fisheries, registration of a limited entry permit to be used with
a new vessel will take effect on the date NMFS approves and issues the permit.
(iv) Limited entry permits indivisible. Limited entry permits may not be divided for use by more than
one vessel.
(v) Initial administrative determination (IAD). SFD will make a determination regarding permit
endorsements, renewal, replacement, change in permit ownership and change in vessel
registration. SFD will notify the permit owner in writing with an explanation of any determination
to deny a permit endorsement, renewal, replacement, change in permit ownership or change in
vessel registration. The SFD will decline to act on an application for permit endorsement,
renewal, replacement, or change in registration of a limited entry permit if the permit is subject
to sanction provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C. 1858(a) and implementing
regulations at 15 CFR part 904, subpart D, apply.
(2) Mothership (MS) permit. The MS permit conveys a conditional privilege for the vessel registered to it,
to participate in the MS fishery by receiving and processing deliveries of groundfish in the Pacific
whiting mothership sector. An MS permit is a type of limited entry permit. An MS permit does not
have any endorsements affixed to the permit. The provisions for the MS permit, including eligibility,
renewal, change of permit ownership, vessel registration, fees, and appeals are described at §
660.150 (f).
(3) Endorsements —
(i)

“A” endorsement. A limited entry permit with an “A” endorsement entitles the vessel registered
to the permit to fish in the limited entry fishery for all groundfish species with the type(s) of
limited entry gear specified in the endorsement, except for sablefish harvested north of 36° N.
lat. during times and with gears for which a sablefish endorsement is required. See paragraph
(b)(3)(iv) of this section for provisions on sablefish endorsement requirements. An “A”
endorsement is affixed to the limited entry permit. The limited entry permit with an “A”
endorsement may be registered to another person (i.e., change in permit ownership), or to a
different vessel (i.e., change in vessel registration) under paragraph (b)(4) of this section. An “A”
endorsement expires on failure to renew the limited entry permit to which it is affixed. An MS
permit is not considered a limited entry “A”-endorsed permit.

(ii) Gear endorsement. There are three types of gear endorsements: Trawl, longline, and pot (trap).
When limited entry “A”-endorsed permits were first issued, some vessel owners qualified for
more than one type of gear endorsement based on the landings history of their vessels. Each
limited entry “A”-endorsed permit has one or more gear endorsement(s). Gear endorsement(s)
assigned to the permit at the time of issuance will be permanent and shall not be modified.
While participating in the limited entry fishery, the vessel registered to the limited entry “A”endorsed permit is authorized to fish the gear(s) endorsed on the permit. While participating in
the limited entry, fixed gear primary fishery for sablefish described at § 660.231, a vessel
registered to more than one limited entry permit is authorized to fish with any gear, except trawl
50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(ii) (enhanced display)

page 66 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iii)

gear, endorsed on at least one of the permits registered for use with that vessel. Vessels
registered to limited entry permits may be used to fish with open access gear, subject to the
crossover provisions at § 660.60(h)(7)(ii), except that vessels registered to sablefish-endorsed
permits fishing in the sablefish primary season described at § 660.231, may not fish with open
access gear against those limits. An MS permit does not have a gear endorsement.
(iii) Vessel size endorsements —
(A) General. Each limited entry “A”-endorsed permit will be endorsed with the LOA for the size
of the vessel that initially qualified for the permit, except when permits are combined into
one permit to be registered for use with a vessel requiring a larger size endorsement, the
new permit will be endorsed for the size that results from the combination of the permits.
(B) Limitations of size endorsements.
(1) A limited entry permit may be registered for use with a vessel up to 5 ft (1.52 m)
longer than, the same length as, or any length shorter than, the size endorsed on the
existing permit without requiring a combination of permits or a change in the size
endorsement.
(2) The vessel harvest capacity rating for each of the permits being combined is that
indicated in Table 3 of subpart C for the LOA (in feet) endorsed on the respective
limited entry permit. Harvest capacity ratings for fractions of a foot in vessel length
will be determined by multiplying the fraction of a foot in vessel length by the
difference in the two ratings assigned to the nearest integers of vessel length. The
length rating for the combined permit is that indicated for the sum of the vessel
harvest capacity ratings for each permit being combined. If that sum falls between
the sums for two adjacent lengths on Table 3 of subpart C, the length rating shall be
the higher length.
(C) Size endorsement requirements for sablefish-endorsed permits. Notwithstanding
paragraphs (b)(3)(iii)(A) and (B) of this section, when multiple permits are “stacked” on a
vessel, as described in paragraph (b)(4)(iii), at least one of the permits must meet the size
requirements of those sections. The permit that meets the size requirements of those
sections is considered the vessel's “base” permit, as defined in § 660.11, subpart C. If
more than one permit registered for use with the vessel has an appropriate length
endorsement for that vessel, NMFS SFD will designate a base permit by selecting the
permit that has been registered to the vessel for the longest time. If the permit owner
objects to NMFS' selection of the base permit, the permit owner may send a letter to
NMFS SFD requesting the change and the reasons for the request. If the permit requested
to be changed to the base permit is appropriate for the length of the vessel, NMFS SFD will
reissue the permit with the new base permit. Any additional permits that are stacked for
use with a vessel participating in the limited entry fixed gear primary sablefish fishery may
be registered for use with a vessel even if the vessel is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) longer or
shorter than the size endorsed on the permit.
(iv) Sablefish endorsement and tier assignment —
(A) General. Participation in the limited entry fixed gear sablefish fishery during the primary
season north of 36° N. lat., described in § 660.231, Subpart E, requires that an owner of a
vessel hold (by ownership or lease) a limited entry permit, registered for use with that
vessel, with a longline or trap (or pot) endorsement and a sablefish endorsement. Up to
50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iv)(A) (enhanced display)

page 67 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iv)(A)(1)

three permits with sablefish endorsements may be registered for use with a single vessel.
Limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements are assigned to one of three different
cumulative trip limit tiers, based on the qualifying catch history of the permit.
(1) A sablefish endorsement with a tier assignment will be affixed to the permit and will
remain valid when the permit is registered to another permit owner (i.e., change in
permit ownership) or to another vessel (i.e., change in vessel registration).
(2) A sablefish endorsement and its associated tier assignment are not separable from
the limited entry permit, and therefore, may not be registered to another permit owner
(i.e., change in permit ownership) or to another vessel (i.e., change in vessel
registration) separately from the limited entry permit.
(B) Ownership requirements and limitations.
(1) No partnership or corporation may own a limited entry permit with a sablefish
endorsement unless that partnership or corporation owned a limited entry permit
with a sablefish endorsement on November 1, 2000. Otherwise, only individual
human persons may own limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements.
(2) No individual person, partnership, or corporation in combination may have ownership
interest in or hold more than 3 permits with sablefish endorsements either
simultaneously or cumulatively over the primary season, except for an individual
person, or partnerships or corporations that had ownership interest in more than 3
permits with sablefish endorsements as of November 1, 2000. The exemption from
the maximum ownership level of 3 permits only applies to ownership of the particular
permits that were owned on November 1, 2000. An individual person, or partnerships
or corporations that had ownership interest in 3 or more permits with sablefish
endorsements as of November 1, 2000, may not acquire additional permits beyond
those particular permits owned on November 1, 2000. If, at some future time, an
individual person, partnership, or corporation that owned more than 3 permits as of
November 1, 2000, sells or otherwise permanently transfers (not holding through a
lease arrangement) some of its originally owned permits, such that they then own
fewer than 3 permits, they may then acquire additional permits, but may not have
ownership interest in or hold more than 3 permits.
(3) A partnership or corporation will lose the exemptions provided in paragraphs
(b)(3)(iv)(B)(1) and (2) of this section on the effective date of any change in the
corporation or partnership from that which existed on November 1, 2000. A “change”
in the partnership or corporation is defined at § 660.11. A change in the partnership
or corporation must be reported to SFD within 15 calendar days of the addition of a
new shareholder or partner.
(4) Any partnership or corporation with any ownership interest in a limited entry permit
with a sablefish endorsement or in the vessel registered to the permit shall document
the extent of that ownership interest with NMFS via the Identification of Ownership
Interest Form sent to the permit owner through the annual permit renewal process
and whenever a change in permit owner, vessel owner, and/or vessel registration
occurs as described at paragraph (b)(4)(v) and (vi) of this section. NMFS will not
renew a sablefish-endorsed limited entry permit through the annual renewal process
described at paragraph (b)(4)(i) of this section, or approve a change in permit owner,
50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iv)(B)(4) (enhanced display)

page 68 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iv)(B)(5)

vessel owner, and/or vessel registration unless the Identification of Ownership
Interest Form has been completed. Further, if NMFS discovers through review of the
Identification of Ownership Interest Form that an individual person, partnership, or
corporation owns or holds more than 3 permits and is not authorized to do so under
paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B)(2) of this section, the individual person, partnership or
corporation will be notified and the permits owned or held by that individual person,
partnership, or corporation will be void and reissued with the vessel status as
“unidentified” until the permit owner owns and/or holds a quantity of permits
appropriate to the restrictions and requirements described in paragraph
(b)(3)(iv)(B)(2) of this section. If NMFS discovers through review of the Identification
of Ownership Interest Form that a partnership or corporation has had a change in
membership since November 1, 2000, as described in paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B)(3) of
this section, the partnership or corporation will be notified, NMFS will void any
existing permits, and reissue any permits owned and/or held by that partnership or
corporation in “unidentified” status with respect to vessel registration until the
partnership or corporation is able to register ownership of those permits to persons
authorized under this section to own sablefish-endorsed limited entry permits.
(5) A person, partnership, or corporation that is exempt from the owner-on-board
requirement may sell all of their permits, buy another sablefish-endorsed permit
within one year of the date of approval of the last change in permit ownership, and
retain their exemption from the owner-on-board requirements. An individual person,
partnership or corporation could only obtain a permit if it has not added or changed
individuals since November 1, 2000, excluding individuals that have left the
partnership or corporation or that have died.
(C) Ownership limitation exemption. As described in (b)(3)(iv)(B) of this section, no individual
person, partnership, or corporation in combination may own and/or hold more than three
sablefish-endorsed permits. A vessel owner that meets the qualifying criteria described in
paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(C)(1) of this section may request an exemption from the ownership
limitation.
(1) Qualifying criteria. The three qualifying criteria for an ownership limitation exemption
are: The vessel owner currently has no more than 20 percent ownership interest in a
vessel registered to the sablefish endorsed permit, the vessel owner currently has
ownership interest in Alaska sablefish individual fishing quota, and the vessel has
fished in the past 12-month period in both the West Coast groundfish limited entry
fixed gear fishery and the Sablefish IFQ Program in Alaska. The best evidence of a
vessel owner having met these qualifying criteria will be state fish tickets or landing
receipts from the West Coast states and Alaska. The qualifying vessel owner may
seek an ownership limitation exemption for sablefish endorsed permits registered to
no more than two vessels.
(2) Application and issuance process for an ownership limitation exemption. The SFD will
make the qualifying criteria and application instructions available online at
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/west-coast. A vessel owner who believes that
they may qualify for the ownership limitation exemption must submit evidence with
their application showing how their vessel has met the qualifying criteria described at
paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(C)(1) of this section. The vessel owner must also submit a
Sablefish Permit Ownership Limitation Exemption Identification of Ownership

Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(3)(iv)(C)(3)

Interest form that includes disclosure of percentage of ownership in the vessel and
disclosure of individual shareholders in any entity. Paragraph (i) of this section sets
out the relevant evidentiary standards and burden of proof. Applications may be
submitted at any time to NMFS at: NMFS West Coast Region, Sustainable Fisheries
Division, ATTN: Fisheries Permit Office—Sablefish Ownership Limitation Exemption,
7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115. After receipt of a complete application,
the SFD will issue an IAD in writing to the applicant determining whether the
applicant qualifies for the exemption. If an applicant chooses to file an appeal of the
IAD, the applicant must follow the appeals process outlined at paragraph (g) of this
section and, for the timing of the appeals, at paragraph (g)(4)(ii) of this section.
(3) Exemption status. If at any time a change occurs relative to the qualifying criteria
described at paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(C)(1), the vessel owner to whom the ownership
limitation exemption applies must notify NMFS within 30 calendar days. If such
changes mean the vessel owner no longer meets the qualifying criteria, the
ownership limitation exemption becomes automatically null and void 30 calendar
days after the date the vessel owner no longer meets the qualifying criteria. At any
time, NMFS may request that the vessel owner submit a new exemption application.
If NMFS at any time finds the vessel owner no longer meets the qualifying criteria
described at paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(C)(1) of this section NMFS will issue an IAD, which
may be appealed, as described at paragraph (g) of this section.
(v) MS/CV endorsement. An MS/CV endorsement on a trawl limited entry permit conveys a
conditional privilege that allows a vessel registered to it to fish in either the co-op or non-coop
fishery in the MS Co-op Program described at § 660.150, subpart D. The provisions for the MS/
CV-endorsed limited entry permit, including eligibility, renewal, change of permit ownership,
vessel registration, combinations, accumulation limits, fees, and appeals are described at §
660.150. Each MS/CV endorsement has an associated catch history assignment (CHA) that is
permanently linked as originally issued by NMFS and which cannot be divided or registered
separately to another limited entry trawl permit. Regulations detailing this process and MS/CVendorsed permit combinations are outlined in § 660.150(g)(2), subpart D.
(vi) C/P endorsement. A C/P endorsement on a trawl limited entry permit conveys a conditional
privilege that allows a vessel registered to it to fish in the C/P Co-op Program described at §
660.160. The provisions for the C/P-endorsed limited entry permit, including eligibility, renewal,
change of permit ownership, vessel registration, combinations, fees, and appeals are described
at § 660.160(e).
(vii) Endorsement and exemption restrictions. “A” endorsements, gear endorsements, sablefish
endorsements and sablefish tier assignments, and C/P endorsements may not be registered to
another permit owner (i.e., change in permit ownership or ownership interest) or to another
vessel (i.e., change in vessel registration) separately from the limited entry permit. At-sea
processing exemptions, specified at paragraph (b)(6) of this section, are associated with the
vessel and not with the limited entry permit and may not be registered to another permit owner
or to another vessel without losing the exemption.
(4) Limited entry permit actions —renewal, combination, stacking, joint registration, change of permit
owner or vessel owner, and change in vessel registration—
(i)

Renewal of limited entry permits and gear endorsements.

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(i)(A)

(A) Limited entry permits expire at the end of each calendar year, and must be renewed
between October 1 and November 30 of each year in order to remain in force the following
year.
(B) Notification to renew limited entry permits will be issued by SFD prior to September 15
each year to the permit owner's most recent address in the SFD record. The permit owner
shall provide SFD with notice of any address change within 15 days of the change.
(C) Limited entry permit renewal requests received in SFD between November 30 and
December 31 will be effective on the date that the renewal is approved. A limited entry
permit that is allowed to expire will not be renewed unless the permit owner requests
reissuance by March 31 of the following year and the SFD determines that failure to renew
was proximately caused by illness, injury, or death of the permit owner.
(D) Limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements, as described at paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of
this section, will not be renewed until SFD has received complete documentation of permit
ownership as required under paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B)(4) of this section.
(E) Limited entry permits with an MS/catcher vessel (CV) endorsement will not be renewed
until SFD has received complete documentation of permit ownership as required under §
660.150(g).
(F) A limited entry permit will not be renewed until a complete economic data collection form
is submitted as required under § 660.113(b), (c) and (d), subpart D. The permit renewal
will be marked incomplete until the required information is submitted.
(G) An MS permit or a limited entry permit with a C/P endorsement will not be renewed, if it
was the permit owner that failed to pay, until payment of all cost recovery program fees
required pursuant to § 660.115 has been made. The IAD, appeals, and final decision
process for the cost recovery program is specified at § 660.115(d)(3)(ii).
(ii) Combining limited entry “A” permits. Two or more limited entry permits with “A” gear
endorsements for the same type of limited entry gear may be combined and reissued as a
single permit with a larger size endorsement as described in paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this
section.
(A) Sablefish-endorsed permit. With respect to limited entry permits endorsed for longline and
pot (trap) gear, a sablefish endorsement will be issued for the new permit only if all of the
permits being combined have sablefish endorsements. If two or more permits with
sablefish endorsements are combined, the new permit will receive the same tier
assignment as the tier with the largest cumulative landings limit of the permits being
combined.
(B) MS/CV-endorsed permit. When an MS/CV-endorsed permit is combined with another MS/
CV-endorsed permit or with another limited entry trawl permit with no MS/CV or C/P
endorsement, the resulting permit will be MS/CV-endorsed with the associated CHA as
specified at § 660.150(g)(2)(iv) and (v). If an MS/CV-endorsed permit is combined with a
C/P-endorsed permit, the MS/CV endorsement and CHA will not be reissued on the
combined permit.

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(ii)(C)

(C) C/P-endorsed permit. A C/P-endorsed permit that is combined with a limited entry trawl
permit that is not C/P-endorsed will result in a single C/P-endorsed permit with a larger
size endorsement. An MS/CV endorsement on one of the permits being combined will not
be reissued on the resulting permit.
(iii) Stacking limited entry permits. “Stacking” limited entry permits, as defined at § 660.11, refers to
the practice of registering more than one sablefish-endorsed permit for use with a single
vessel. Only limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements may be stacked. Up to 3 limited
entry permits with sablefish endorsements may be registered for use with a single vessel
during the sablefish primary season described at § 660.231, subpart E. Privileges,
responsibilities, and restrictions associated with stacking permits to fish in the sablefish
primary fishery are described at § 660.231, subpart E and at paragraph (b)(3)(iv) of this section.
(iv) Joint registration of limited entry permits —
(A) General. “Joint registration” of limited entry permits, as defined at § 660.11, is the practice
of simultaneously registering both trawl-endorsed and longline or trap/pot-endorsed
limited entry permits for use with a single vessel.
(B) Restrictions. Subject to vessel size endorsements in paragraph (b)(3)(iii), any limited entry
permit with a trawl endorsement and any limited entry permit with a longline or trap/pot
endorsement may be jointly registered for use with a single vessel but only in one of the
following configurations:
(1) a single trawl-endorsed limited entry permit and one, two or three sablefish-endorsed
fixed gear (longline and/or fishpot endorsed) limited entry permits; or
(2) a single trawl-endorsed limited entry permit and one longline-endorsed limited entry
permit for use with a single vessel.
(v) Changes in permit owner and/or vessel owner —
(A) General. Change in permit owner and/or vessel owner applications must be submitted to
NMFS with the appropriate documentation described at paragraphs (b)(4)(viii) and (ix) of
this section. The permit owner may convey the limited entry permit to a different person.
The new permit owner will not be authorized to use the permit until the change in permit
owner has been registered with and approved by NMFS. NMFS will not approve a change
in permit owner for a limited entry permit with a sablefish endorsement that does not
meet the ownership requirements for such permit described at paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B) of
this section. NMFS will not approve a change in permit owner for a limited entry permit
with an MS/CV endorsement that does not meet the ownership requirements for such
permit described at § 660.150(g)(3). NMFS considers the following as a change in permit
owner that would require registering with and approval by NMFS, including but not limited
to: Selling the permit to another individual or entity; adding an individual or entity to the
legal name on the permit; or removing an individual or entity from the legal name on the
permit. A change in vessel owner includes any changes to the name(s) of any or all vessel
owners, as registered with U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) or a state. The new owner(s) of a
vessel registered to a limited entry permit must report any change in vessel ownership to
NMFS within 30 calendar days after such change has been registered with the USCG or a
state licensing agency.

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(v)(B)

(B) Effective date. The change in permit ownership or change in the vessel holding the permit
will be effective on the day the change is approved by NMFS, unless there is a concurrent
change in the vessel registered to the permit. Requirements for changing the vessel
registered to the permit are described at paragraph (b)(4)(vi) of this section.
(C) Sablefish-endorsed permits. If a permit owner submits an application to register a
sablefish-endorsed limited entry permit to a new permit owner or vessel owner during the
primary sablefish season described at § 660.231 (generally April 1 through December 31),
the initial permit owner must certify on the application form the cumulative quantity, in
round weight, of primary season sablefish landed against that permit as of the application
signature date for the then current primary season. The new permit owner or vessel owner
must sign the application form acknowledging the amount of landings to date given by the
initial permit owner. This certified amount should match the total amount of primary
season sablefish landings reported on state landing receipts. As required at § 660.12(b),
any person landing sablefish must retain on board the vessel from which sablefish is
landed, and provide to an authorized officer upon request, copies of any and all reports of
sablefish landings from the primary season containing all data, and in the exact manner,
required by the applicable state law throughout the primary sablefish season during which
a landing occurred and for 15 days thereafter.
(D) Change in MS/CV endorsement registration. The requirements for a change in MS/CV
endorsement registration between limited entry trawl permits are specified at §
660.150(g)(2)(iv).
(vi) Changes in vessel registration of limited entry permits and gear endorsements —
(A) General. A permit may not be used with any vessel other than the vessel registered to that
permit. For purposes of this section, a permit change in vessel registration occurs when,
through SFD, a permit owner registers a limited entry permit for use with a new vessel.
Permit change in vessel registration applications must be submitted to SFD with the
appropriate documentation described at paragraph (b)(4)(viii) of this section. Upon receipt
of a complete application, and following review and approval of the application, the SFD
will reissue the permit registered to the new vessel. Applications to change vessel
registration on limited entry permits with sablefish endorsements will not be approved
until SFD has received complete documentation of permit ownership as described at
paragraph (b)(3)(iv)(B)(4) and as required under paragraph (b)(4)(viii) of this section.
Applications to change vessel registration on limited entry permits with trawl
endorsements or MS permits will not be approved until SFD has received complete EDC
forms as required under § 660.114, subpart D.
(B) Application. Change in vessel registration applications must be submitted to NMFS with
the appropriate documentation described at paragraphs (b)(4)(viii) and (ix) of this section.
At a minimum, a permit owner seeking to change vessel registration of a limited entry
permit shall submit to NMFS a signed application form and his/her current limited entry
permit before the first day of the cumulative limit period in which they wish to fish. If a
permit owner provides a signed application and current limited entry permit after the first
day of a cumulative limit period, the permit will not be effective until the succeeding
cumulative limit period. NMFS will not approve a change in vessel registration until it
receives a complete application, the existing permit, a current copy of the USCG 1270, and
other required documentation.
50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(vi)(B) (enhanced display)

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(vi)(C)

(C) Effective date. Changes in vessel registration on permits will take effect no sooner than
the first day of the next major limited entry cumulative limit period following the date that
SFD receives the signed permit change in vessel registration form and the original limited
entry permit, except that changes in vessel registration on MS permits and C/P-endorsed
permits will take effect immediately upon reissuance to the new vessel, and a change in
vessel registration on MS/CV-endorsed permits will take effect immediately upon
reissuance to the new vessel only on the second change in vessel registration for the year.
No change in vessel registration is effective until the limited entry permit has been
reissued as registered with the new vessel.
(D) Sablefish-endorsed permits. If a permit owner submits an application to register a
sablefish-endorsed limited entry permit to a new vessel during the primary sablefish
season described at § 660.231 (generally April 1 through December 31), the initial permit
owner must certify on the application form the cumulative quantity, in round weight, of
primary season sablefish landed against that permit as of the application signature date
for the then current primary season. The new permit owner or vessel owner associated
with the new vessel must sign the application form acknowledging the amount of landings
to date given by the initial permit owner. This certified amount should match the total
amount of primary season sablefish landings reported on state landing receipts. As
required at § 660.12(b), any person landing sablefish must retain on board the vessel from
which sablefish is landed, and provide to an authorized officer upon request, copies of any
and all reports of sablefish landings from the primary season containing all data, and in
the exact manner, required by the applicable state law throughout the primary sablefish
season during which a landing occurred and for 15 days thereafter.
(vii) Restriction on frequency of changes in vessel registration —
(A) General. A permit owner may designate the vessel registration for a permit as
“unidentified,” meaning that no vessel has been identified as registered for use with that
permit. No vessel is authorized to use a permit with the vessel registration designated as
“unidentified.” A vessel owner who removes a permit from his vessel and registers that
permit as “unidentified” is not exempt from VMS requirements at § 660.14, unless
specifically authorized by that section. When a permit owner requests that the permit's
vessel registration be designated as “unidentified,” the transaction is not considered a
change in vessel registration for purposes of this section. Any subsequent request by a
permit owner to change from the “unidentified” status of the permit in order to register the
permit with a specific vessel will be considered a change in vessel registration and subject
to the restriction on frequency and timing of changes in vessel registration.
(B) Limited entry fixed gear and trawl-endorsed permits (without MS/CV or C/P endorsements).
Limited entry fixed gear and trawl-endorsed permits (without MS/CV or C/P
endorsements) may not be registered for use with a different vessel more than once per
calendar year, except in cases of death of a vessel owner or if the vessel registered to the
permit is totally lost as defined in § 660.11. The exception for death of a vessel owner
applies for a vessel owned by a partnership or a corporation if the person or persons with
at least 50 percent of the ownership interest in the entity dies.
(C) Limited entry permits with an MS/CV endorsement. Limited entry permits with an MS/CV
endorsement may be registered to another vessel up to two times during the calendar year
as long as the second change in vessel registration is back to the original vessel. The
50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(vii)(C) (enhanced display)

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(vii)(D)

original vessel is either the vessel registered to the permit as of January 1, or if no vessel
is registered to the permit as of January 1, the original vessel is the first vessel to which
the permit is registered after January 1. After the original vessel has been established, the
first change in vessel registration would be to another vessel, but any second change in
vessel registration must be back to the original vessel. On the second change in vessel
registration back to the original vessel, that vessel must be used to fish exclusively in the
MS Co-op Program described at § 660.150 for the remainder of the calendar year, and
declare into the limited entry mid water trawl, Pacific whiting mothership sector as
specified at § 660.13(d)(4)(iv).
(D) Limited entry MS permits and limited entry permits with a catcher/processor (C/P)
endorsement. Vessels registered to both a MS permit and a C/P endorsed permit may
operate in both the at-sea MS sector and C/P sector during the same calendar year, but
not on the same trip. Prior to leaving port, a vessel registered under both a MS permit and
a C/P endorsed permit must declare through VMS the sector in which it will participate for
the duration of the trip, as specified at § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A).
(viii) Application and supplemental documentation. Permit owners may request a change in vessel
registration and/or change in permit owner or vessel owner by submitting a complete
application form. In addition, a permit owner applying for a change in vessel registration and/or
change in permit owner of a limited entry permit has the burden to submit evidence to prove
that qualification requirements are met. If a change in vessel owner occurs, the new vessel
owner has the burden to submit evidence to prove that qualification requirements are met. The
following evidentiary standards apply:
(A) For a request to change a vessel registration and/or change a permit owner or vessel
owner, the permit owner must provide NMFS with a current copy of the USCG Form 1270
for vessels of 5 net tons or greater, or a current copy of a state registration form for
vessels under 5 net tons.
(B) For a request to change a vessel registration and/or change a permit owner or vessel
owner for sablefish-endorsed permits with a tier assignment for which a corporation or
partnership is listed as permit owner and/or vessel owner, an Identification of Ownership
Interest Form must be completed and included with the application form.
(C) For a request to change a vessel registration and/or change a permit owner or vessel
owner for a MS/CV-endorsed limited entry permit, an Identification of Ownership Interest
Form must be completed and included with the application form.
(D) For a request to change the vessel registration to a permit, the permit owner must submit
to SFD a current marine survey conducted by a certified marine surveyor in accordance
with USCG regulations to authenticate the length overall of the vessel being newly
registered with the permit. Marine surveys older than 3 years at the time of the request for
change in vessel registration will not be considered “current” marine surveys for purposes
of this requirement.
(E) For a request to change a permit's ownership where the current permit owner is a
corporation, partnership or other business entity, the applicant must provide to SFD a
corporate resolution that authorizes the conveyance of the permit to a new owner and
which authorizes the individual applicant to request the conveyance on behalf of the
corporation, partnership, or other business entity.

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(4)(viii)(F)

(F) For a request to change a permit's ownership that is necessitated by the death of the
permit owner(s), the individual(s) requesting conveyance of the permit to a new owner
must provide SFD with a death certificate of the permit owner(s) and appropriate legal
documentation that either: Specifically registers the permit to a designated individual(s);
or, provides legal authority to the transferor to convey the permit ownership or to request a
change in vessel registration.
(G) For a request to change a permit's ownership that is necessitated by divorce, the individual
requesting the change in permit ownership must submit an executed divorce decree that
awards the permit to a designated individual(s).
(H) Such other relevant, credible documentation as the applicant may submit, or the SFD or
Regional Administrator may request or acquire, may also be considered.
(ix) Application forms available. Application forms for a change in vessel registration, permit owner,
or vessel owner are available at: NMFS West Coast Region, Sustainable Fisheries Division,
ATTN: Fisheries Permit Office, 7600 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115; or
https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/west-coast. Contents of the application, and required
supporting documentation, are also specified in the application form. Only complete
applications will be processed.
(x) Records maintenance. The SFD will maintain records of all limited entry permits that have been
issued, renewed, registered, or replaced.
(5) Small fleet.
(i)

Small limited entry fisheries fleets that are controlled by a local government, are in existence as
of July 11, 1991, and have negligible impacts on the groundfish resource, may be certified as
consistent with the goals and objectives of the limited entry program and incorporated into the
limited entry fishery. Permits issued under this subsection will be issued in accordance with the
standards and procedures set out in the PCGFMP and will carry the rights explained therein.

(ii) A permit issued under this section may be registered only to another vessel that will continue to
operate in the same certified small fleet, provided that the total number of vessels in the fleet
does not increase. A vessel may not use a small fleet limited entry permit for participation in
the limited entry fishery outside of authorized activities of the small fleet for which that permit
and vessel have been designated.
(6) At-sea processing exemptions —
(i)

Sablefish at-sea processing exemption. No new applications for sablefish at-sea processing
exemptions will be accepted. As specified at § 660.212(d)(3), subpart E, vessels are prohibited
from processing sablefish at sea that were caught in the sablefish primary fishery without a
sablefish at-sea processing exemption. Any sablefish at-sea processing exemptions were
issued to a particular vessel and that permit and vessel owner who requested the exemption.
The exemption is not part of the limited entry permit. The exemption cannot be registered with
any other vessel, vessel owner, or permit owner for any reason. The exemption only applies to
at-sea processing of sablefish caught in the sablefish primary fishery. The sablefish at-sea
processing exemption will expire upon registration of the vessel to a new owner or if the vessel
is totally lost, as defined at § 660.11.

Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(b)(6)(ii)

(ii) Non-whiting at-sea processing exemption. No new applications for non-whiting at-sea
processing exemptions will be accepted. As specified at § 660.112(b)(1)(xii), subpart D, vessels
are prohibited from processing non-whiting groundfish at sea that were caught in the
Shorebased IFQ Program without a non-whiting at-sea processing exemption. Any non-whiting
at-sea processing exemptions were issued to a particular vessel and that permit and/or vessel
owner who requested the exemption. The exemption is not part of the limited entry permit. The
exemption is not transferable to any other vessel, vessel owner, or permit owner for any reason.
The exemption only applies to at-sea processing of non-whiting groundfish caught in the
Shorebased IFQ Program. The non-whiting at-sea processing exemption will expire upon
registration of the vessel to a new owner or if the vessel is totally lost, as defined at § 660.11.
(c) Quota share (QS) permit. A QS permit conveys a conditional privilege to a person to own QS or IBQ for
designated species and species groups and to fish in the Shorebased IFQ Program described § 660.140,
subpart D. A QS permit is not a limited entry permit. The provisions for the QS permit, including eligibility,
renewal, change of permit ownership, accumulation limits, fees, and appeals are described at § 660.140,
subpart D.
(d) First receiver site license. The first receiver site license conveys a conditional privilege to a first receiver to
receive, purchase, or take custody, control or possession of landings from the Shorebased IFQ Program.
The first receiver site license is issued for a person and a unique physical site consistent with the terms
and conditions required to account for and weigh the landed species. A first receiver site license is not a
limited entry permit. The provisions for the First Receiver Site License, including eligibility, registration,
change of ownership, fees, and appeals are described at § 660.140(f), subpart D.
(e) Co-op permit —
(1) MS co-op permit. An MS co-op permit conveys a conditional privilege to an eligible co-op entity to
receive and manage a coop's allocation of designated species and species groups. An MS co-op
permit is not a limited entry permit. The provisions for the MS co-op permit, including eligibility,
annual registration, fees, and appeals are described in the MS Co-op Program at § 660.150, subpart
D.
(2) C/P co-op permit. A C/P co-op permit conveys a conditional privilege to an eligible co-op entity to
receive and manage a coop's allocation of designated species and species groups. A C/P co-op
permit is not a limited entry permit. The provisions for the C/P co-op permit, including eligibility,
annual registration, fees, and appeals are described in the C/P Co-op Program at § 660.160, subpart
D.
(f) Permit fees. The Regional Administrator is authorized to charge fees to cover administrative expenses
related to issuance of permits including initial issuance, renewal, permit registration, vessel registration,
replacement, and appeals. The appropriate fee must accompany each application.
(g) Permit appeals process —
(1) General. For permit actions, including issuance, renewal, change in vessel registration and/or change
in permit owner or vessel owner, and endorsement upgrade, the Assistant Regional Administrator for
Sustainable Fisheries will make an IAD on the action. In cases where the applicant disagrees with
the IAD, the applicant may appeal that decision. Final decisions on appeals of IADs regarding
issuance, renewal, change in vessel registration and/or change in permit owner or vessel owner, and
endorsement upgrade, will be made in writing by the Regional Administrator acting on behalf of the
Secretary of Commerce and will state the reasons therefore. This section describes the procedures

page 77 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.25(g)(2)

for appealing the IAD on permit actions made in this title under subparts C through G of part 660.
Additional information regarding appeals of an IAD related to the trawl rationalization program is
contained in the specific program sections under subpart D of part 660.
(2) Who May Appeal? Only a person who received an IAD that disapproved any part of their application
may file a written appeal. For purposes of this section, such person will be referred to as the
“applicant.”
(3) Submission of appeals.
(i)

The appeal must be in writing, must allege credible facts or circumstances to show why the
criteria in this subpart have been met, and must include any relevant information or
documentation to support the appeal.

(ii) Appeals must be mailed or faxed to: NMFS West Coast Region, Sustainable Fisheries Division,
ATTN: Appeals, 7600 Sand Point Way NE., Seattle, WA, 98115; Fax: 206-526-6426; or delivered
to National Marine Fisheries Service at the same address.
(4) Timing of appeals.
(i)

For permit actions related to the application and initial issuance process for QS permits, MS
permits, MS/CV endorsements, and C/P endorsements for the trawl rationalization program
listed in subpart D of part 660, if an applicant appeals an IAD, the appeal must be postmarked,
faxed, or hand delivered to NMFS no later than 60 calendar days after the date on the IAD. If the
applicant does not appeal the IAD within 60 calendar days, the IAD becomes the final decision
of the Regional Administrator acting on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce.

(ii) For all other permit actions, if an applicant appeals an IAD, the appeal must be postmarked,
faxed, or hand delivered to NMFS no later than 30 calendar days after the date on the IAD. If the
applicant does not appeal the IAD within 30 calendar days, the IAD becomes the final decision
of the Regional Administrator acting on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce.
(iii) The time period to submit an appeal begins with the date on the IAD. If the last day of the time
period is a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the time period will extend to the close of
business on the next business day.
(5) Address of record. For purposes of the appeals process, NMFS will establish as the address of
record, the address used by the applicant in initial correspondence to NMFS. Notifications of all
actions affecting the applicant after establishing an address of record will be mailed to that address,
unless the applicant provides NMFS, in writing, with any changes to that address. NMFS bears no
responsibility if a notification is sent to the address of record and is not received because the
applicant's actual address has changed without notification to NMFS.
(6) Decisions on appeals.
(i)

For the appeal of an IAD related to the application and initial issuance process for the trawl
rationalization program listed in subpart D of part 660, the Regional Administrator shall appoint
an appeals officer. After determining there is sufficient information and that all procedural
requirements have been met, the appeals officer will review the record and issue a
recommendation on the appeal to the Regional Administrator, which shall be advisory only. The
recommendation must be based solely on the record. Upon receiving the findings and
recommendation, the Regional Administrator shall issue a final decision on the appeal acting
on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce in accordance with paragraph (g)(6)(ii) of this section.

50 CFR 660.25(g)(6)(ii)

(ii) Final decision on appeal. The Regional Administrator will issue a written decision on the appeal
which is the final decision of the Secretary of Commerce.
(7) Status of permits pending appeal.
(i)

For all permit actions, except those actions related to the application and initial issuance
process for the trawl rationalization program listed in subpart D of part 660, the permit
registration remains as it was prior to the request until the final decision has been made.

(ii) For permit actions related to the application and initial issuance process for the trawl
rationalization program listed in subpart D of part 660, the status of permits pending appeal is
as follows:
(A) For permit and endorsement qualifications and eligibility appeals (i.e., QS permit, MS
permit, MS/CV endorsement, C/P endorsement), any permit or endorsement under appeal
after December 31, 2010 may not be used to fish in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery
until a final decision on the appeal has been made. If the permit or endorsement will be
issued, the permit or endorsement will be effective upon approval, except for QS permits,
which will be effective at the start of the next fishing year.
(B) For a QS or IBQ amount for specific IFQ management unit species under appeal, the QS or
IBQ amount for the IFQ species under appeal will remain as the amount assigned to the
associated QS permit in the IAD). The QS permit may be used to fish in the Pacific Coast
groundfish fishery with the QS or IBQ amounts assigned to the QS permit in the IAD. Once
a final decision on the appeal has been made and if a revised QS or IBQ amount for a
specific IFQ species will be assigned to the QS permit, the additional QS or IBQ amount
associated with the QS permit will be effective at the start of the next calendar year
following the final decision.
(C) For a Pacific whiting catch history assignment associated with an MS/CV endorsement
under appeal, the catch history assignment will remain as that previously assigned to the
associated MS/CV-endorsed limited entry permit in the IAD). The MS/CV-endorsed limited
entry permit may be used to fish in the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery with the catch
history assigned to the MS/CV-endorsed permit in the IAD. Once a final decision on the
appeal has been made, and if a revised catch history assignment will be issued, the
additional Pacific whiting catch history assignment associated with the MS/CV
endorsement will be effective at the start of the next calendar year following the final
decision.
(h) Permit sanctions.
(1) All permits and licenses issued or applied for under Subparts C through G are subject to sanctions
pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C. 1858(g) and 15 CFR part 904, subpart D.
(2) All Shorebased IFQ Program permits (QS permit, first receiver site license), QS accounts, vessel
accounts, and MS Co-op Program permits (MS permit, MS/CV-endorsed permit, and MS co-op
permit), and C/P Co-op Program permits (C/P-endorsed permit, C/P co-op permit) issued under
subpart D:
(i)

Are considered permits for the purposes of 16 U.S.C. 1857, 1858, and 1859;

In addition to the reasons stated in § 600.745(b)(1) of this chapter, an EFP may be issued under this subpart C for
the purpose of compensating the owner or operator of a vessel for collecting resource information according to a
protocol approved by NMFS. NMFS may issue an EFP allowing a vessel to retain fish as compensation in excess of
trip limits or to be exempt from other specified management measures for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery.
(a) Compensation EFP for vessels under contract with NMFS to conduct a resource survey. NMFS may issue
an EFP to the owner or operator of a vessel that conducted a resource survey according to a contract with
NMFS. A vessel's total compensation from all sources (in terms of dollars or amount of fish, including fish
from survey samples or compensation fish) will be determined through normal Federal procurement
procedures. The compensation EFP will specify the maximum amount or value of fish the vessel may take
and retain after the resource survey is completed.
(1) Competitive offers. NMFS may initiate a competitive solicitation (request for proposals or RFP) to
select vessels to conduct resource surveys that use fish as full or partial compensation, following
normal Federal procurement procedures.
(2) Consultation and approval. At a Council meeting, NMFS will consult with the Council and receive
public comment on upcoming resource surveys to be conducted if groundfish could be used as
whole or partial compensation. Generally, compensation fish would be similar to surveyed species,
but there may be reasons to provide payment with healthier, more abundant, less restricted stocks,
or more easily targeted species. For example, NMFS may decline to pay a vessel with species that
are, or are expected to be, overfished, or that are subject to overfishing, or that are unavoidably
caught with species that are overfished or subject to overfishing. NMFS may also consider levels of
discards, bycatch, and other factors. If the Council does not approve providing whole or partial
compensation for the conduct of a survey, NMFS will not use fish, other than fish taken during the
scientific research, as compensation for that survey. For each proposal, NMFS will present:
(i)

The maximum number of vessels expected or needed to conduct the survey,

(ii) An estimate of the species and amount of fish likely to be needed as compensation,

50 CFR 660.30(a)(2)(iii)

(iii) When the survey and compensation fish would be taken, and
(iv) The year in which the compensation fish would be deducted from the ACL or ACT before
determining the fishery harvest guideline or commercial harvest guideline.
(3) Issuance of the compensation EFP. Upon successful completion of the survey, NMFS will issue a
“compensation EFP” to the vessel if it has not been fully compensated. The procedures in §
600.745(b)(1) through (b)(4) of this chapter do not apply to a compensation EFP issued under this
subpart for the Pacific coast groundfish fishery (50 CFR part 660, subparts C through G).
(4) Terms and conditions of the compensation EFP. Conditions for disposition of bycatch or any excess
catch, for reporting the value of the amount landed, and other appropriate terms and conditions may
be specified in the EFP. Compensation fishing must occur during the period specified in the EFP, but
no later than the end of September of the fishing year following the survey, and must be conducted
according to the terms and conditions of the EFP.
(5) Reporting the compensation catch. The compensation EFP may require the vessel owner or operator
to keep separate records of compensation fishing and to submit them to NMFS within a specified
period of time after the compensation fishing is completed.
(6) Accounting for the compensation catch. As part of the harvest specifications process, as described
at § 660.60, subpart C, NMFS will advise the Council of the amount of fish authorized to be retained
under a compensation EFP, which then will be deducted from the next harvest specifications (ACLs
or ACTs) set by the Council. Fish authorized in an EFP too late in the year to be deducted from the
following year's ACLs or ACTs will be accounted for in the next management cycle where it is
practicable to do so.
(b) Compensation for commercial vessels collecting resource information under a standard EFP. NMFS may
issue an EFP to allow a commercial fishing vessel to take and retain fish in excess of current
management limits for the purpose of collecting resource information (§ 600.745(b) of this chapter). The
EFP may include a compensation clause that allows the participating vessel to be compensated with fish
for its efforts to collect resource information according to NMFS' approved protocol. If compensation with
fish is requested in an EFP application, or proposed by NMFS, the following provisions apply in addition to
those at § 600.745(b) of this chapter.
(1) Application. In addition to the requirements in § 600.745(b) of this chapter, application for an EFP
with a compensation clause must clearly state whether a vessel's participation is contingent upon
compensation with groundfish and, if so, the minimum amount (in metric tons, round weight) and the
species. As with other EFPs issued under § 600.745 of this chapter, the application may be
submitted by any individual, including a state fishery management agency or other research
institution.
(2) Denial. In addition to the reasons stated in § 600.745(b)(3)(iii) of this chapter, the application will be
denied if the requested compensation fishery, species, or amount is unacceptable for reasons such
as, but not limited to, the following: NMFS concludes the value of the resource information is not
commensurate with the value of the compensation fish; the proposed compensation involves
species that are (or are expected to be) overfished or subject to overfishing, fishing in times or areas
where fishing is otherwise prohibited or severely restricted, or fishing for species that would involve
unavoidable bycatch of species that are overfished or subject to overfishing; or NMFS concludes the
information can reasonably be obtained at a less cost to the resource.

50 CFR 660.30(b)(3)

(3) Window period for other applications. If the Regional Administrator or designee agrees that
compensation should be considered, and that more than a minor amount would be used as
compensation, then a window period will be announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER during which
additional participants will have an opportunity to apply. This notification would be made at the
same time as announcement of receipt of the application and request for comments required under
§ 600.745(b). If there are more qualified applicants than needed for a particular time and area, NMFS
will choose among the qualified vessels, either randomly, in order of receipt of the completed
application, or by other impartial selection methods. If the permit applicant is a state, university, or
Federal entity other than NMFS, and NMFS approves the selection method, the permit applicant may
choose among the qualified vessels, either randomly, in order of receipt of the vessel application, or
by other impartial selection methods.
(4) Terms and conditions. The EFP will specify the amounts that may be taken as scientific samples and
as compensation, the time period during which the compensation fishing must occur, management
measures that NMFS will waive for a vessel fishing under the EFP, and other terms and conditions
appropriate to the fishery and the collection of resource information. NMFS may require
compensation fishing to occur on the same trip that the resource information is collected.
(5) Accounting for the catch. Samples taken under this EFP, as well as any compensation fish, count
toward the current year's catch or landings.

§ 660.40 Rebuilding plans.
For each overfished groundfish stock with an approved rebuilding plan, this section contains the standards to be
used to establish annual or biennial ACLs, specifically the target date for rebuilding the stock to its MSY level and
the harvest control rule to be used to rebuild the stock. The harvest control rule may be expressed as a “Spawning
Potential Ratio” or “SPR” harvest rate.
(a) Yelloweye rockfish. Yelloweye rockfish was declared overfished in 2002. The target year for rebuilding the
yelloweye rockfish stock to BMSY is 2029. The harvest control rule to be used to rebuild the yelloweye
rockfish stock is an annual SPR harvest rate of 65.0 percent.
(b) [Reserved]
[82 FR 9638, Feb. 7, 2017, as amended at 83 FR 63991, Dec. 12, 2018; 85 FR 79892, Dec. 11, 2020]

§ 660.50 Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries.
(a) Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes have treaty rights. Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes have treaty rights to
harvest groundfish in their usual and accustomed fishing areas in U.S. waters. In 1994, the United States
formally recognized that the four Washington coastal treaty Indian tribes (Makah, Quileute, Hoh, and
Quinault) have treaty rights to fish for groundfish in the Pacific Ocean, and concluded that, in general
terms, the quantification of those rights is 50 percent of the harvestable surplus of groundfish that pass
through the tribes U&A fishing areas.
(b) Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes. For the purposes of this part, Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes means
the Hoh Indian Tribe, Makah Indian Tribe, Quileute Indian Tribe and the Quinault Indian Nation.

50 CFR 660.50(c)

(c) Usual and accustomed fishing areas or U&A fishing areas. The Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes' U&A
fishing areas within the EEZ are set out in § 660.4.
(d) Procedures. The rights referred to in paragraph (a) of this section will be implemented by the Secretary,
after consideration of the tribal request, the recommendation of the Council, and the comments of the
public. The rights will be implemented either through an allocation or set-aside of fish that will be
managed by the tribes, or through regulations in this section that will apply specifically to the tribal
fisheries.
(1) Tribal allocations, set-asides, and regulations. An allocation, set-aside or a regulation specific to the
tribes shall be initiated by a written request from a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe to the Regional
Administrator, prior to the first Council meeting in which biennial harvest specifications and
management measures are discussed for an upcoming biennial management period. The Secretary
generally will announce the annual tribal allocations at the same time as the announcement of the
harvest specifications.
(2) Co-management. The Secretary recognizes the sovereign status and co-manager role of Indian tribes
over shared Federal and tribal fishery resources. Accordingly, the Secretary will develop tribal
allocations and regulations under this paragraph in consultation with the affected tribe(s) and,
insofar as possible, with tribal consensus.
(e) Fishing by a member of a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe. A member of a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe
fishing under this section and within their U&A fishing area is not subject to the provisions of other
sections of subparts C through G of this part.
(1) Identification. A valid treaty Indian identification card issued pursuant to 25 CFR part 249, subpart A,
is prima facie evidence that the holder is a member of the Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe named on
the card.
(2) Permits. A limited entry permit described under § 660.25, subpart C is not required for a member of a
Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe to fish in a tribal fishery described in paragraph (d) of this section.
(3) Federal and tribal laws and regulations. Any member of a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe must
comply with this section, and with any applicable tribal law and regulation, when participating in a
tribal groundfish fishery described in this section.
(4) Fishing outside the U&A fishing area or without a groundfish allocation. Fishing by a member of a
Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe outside the applicable Indian tribe's U&A fishing area, or for a
species of groundfish not covered by an allocation, set-aside, or regulation under this section, is
subject to the regulations in the other sections of subpart C through subpart G of this part. Treaty
fisheries operating within tribal allocations are prohibited from operating outside the U&A fishing
areas described at § 660.4, subpart A.
(f) Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries allocations, harvest guidelines, and set-asides. Catch amounts may be
specified in this section and in Tables 1a and 2a to subpart C of this part. Trip limits for certain species
were recommended by the tribes and the Council and are specified in paragraph (g) of this section.
(1) Black rockfish.
(i)

Harvest guidelines for commercial harvests of black rockfish by members of the Pacific Coast
Indian tribes using hook and line gear will be established biennially for two subsequent oneyear periods for the areas between the U.S.-Canadian border and Cape Alava (48°09.50′ N. lat.)
and between Destruction Island (47°40′ N. lat.) and Leadbetter Point (46°38.17′ N. lat.), in

accordance with the procedures for implementing harvest specifications and management
measures. Pacific Coast treaty Indians fishing for black rockfish in these areas under these
harvest guidelines are subject to the provisions in this section, and not to the restrictions in
other sections of subparts C through G of this part.
(ii) For the commercial harvest of black rockfish off Washington State, a treaty Indian tribes'
harvest guideline is set at 30,000 lb (13,608 kg) for the area north of Cape Alava, WA (48°09.50′
N. lat) and 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) for the area between Destruction Island, WA (47°40′ N. lat.) and
Leadbetter Point, WA (46°38.17′ N. lat.). This harvest guideline applies and is available to the
Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribes. There are no tribal harvest restrictions for black rockfish in
the area between Cape Alava and Destruction Island.
(2) Sablefish.
(i)

The sablefish allocation to Pacific coast treaty Indian Tribes is 10 percent of the sablefish ACL
for the area north of 36° N. lat. This allocation represents the total amount available to the
treaty Indian fisheries before deductions for discard mortality.

(ii) The Tribal allocation is 849 mt in 2023 and 773 mt in 2024 per year. This allocation is, for each
year, 10 percent of the Monterey through Vancouver area (North of 36° N lat.) ACL. The Tribal
allocation is reduced by 1.7 percent for estimated discard mortality.
(3) Lingcod. Lingcod taken in the treaty fisheries are subject to a harvest guideline of 250 mt.
(4) Pacific whiting. The Tribal allocation for 2024 is 71,755.95 mt.
(5) Pacific cod. There is a tribal harvest guideline of 500 mt of Pacific cod per year. The tribes will
manage their fisheries to stay within this harvest guideline.
(6) Petrale sole. For petrale sole, treaty fishing vessels are restricted to a fleetwide harvest target of 350
mt each year.
(7) Yellowtail rockfish. Yellowtail rockfish taken in the directed tribal mid-water trawl fisheries are subject
to a catch limit of 1,000 mt for the entire fleet, per year.
(8) Spiny dogfish. Spiny dogfish taken in the treaty fisheries are subject to an overall expected total spiny
dogfish catch of 275 mt per year.
(9) Widow rockfish. Widow rockfish taken in the directed tribal midwater trawl fisheries are subject to a
catch limit of 200 mt for the entire fleet, per year.
(g) Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries management measures. Trip limits for certain species were
recommended by the tribes and the Council and are specified here.
(1) Rockfish. The tribes will require full retention of all overfished rockfish species and all other
marketable rockfish species during treaty fisheries.
(2) Yelloweye rockfish —are subject to a 100-lb (45-kg) trip limit.
(3) Other rockfish —

(i)

50 CFR 660.50(g)(3)(i)

Minor nearshore rockfish. Minor nearshore rockfish are subject to a 300-lb (136-kg) trip limit per
species or species group, or to the non-tribal limited entry trip limit for those species if those
limits are less restrictive than 300 lb (136 kg) per trip. Limited entry trip limits for waters off
Washington are specified in Table 1 (North) to subpart D, and Table 2 (North) to subpart E of
this part.

(ii) Minor shelf rockfish and minor slope rockfish. Redstripe rockfish are subject to an 800 lb (363
kg) trip limit. Minor shelf (excluding redstripe rockfish), and minor slope rockfish groups are
subject to a 300 lb (136 kg) trip limit per species or species group, or to the non-tribal limited
entry fixed gear trip limit for those species if those limits are less restrictive than 300 lb (136
kg) per trip. Limited entry fixed gear trip limits are specified in Table 2 (North) to subpart E of
this part.
(iii) Other rockfish. All other rockfish, not listed specifically in paragraph (g) of this section, are
subject to a 300 lb (136 kg) trip limit per species or species group, or to the non-tribal limited
entry trip limit for those species if those limits are less restrictive than 300 lb (136 kg) per trip.
Limited entry trip limits for waters off Washington are specified in Table 1 (North) to subpart D,
and Table 2 (North) to subpart E of this part.
(4) Pacific whiting. Tribal whiting processed at-sea by non-tribal vessels, must be transferred within the
tribal U&A from a member of a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe fishing under this section.
(5) Groundfish without a tribal allocation. Makah tribal members may use midwater trawl gear to take
and retain groundfish for which there is no tribal allocation and will be subject to the trip landing and
frequency and size limits applicable to the limited entry fishery.
(6) EFH. Measures implemented to minimize adverse impacts to groundfish EFH, as described in §
660.12 of this subpart, do not apply to tribal fisheries in their U&A fishing areas described at § 660.4,
subpart A.
(7) Small footrope trawl gear. Makah tribal members fishing in the bottom trawl fishery may use only
small footrope (less than or equal to 8 inches (20.3 cm)) bottom trawl gear.
(h) Salmon bycatch. This fishery may be closed through automatic action at § 660.60(d)(1)(v).

§ 660.55 Allocations.
(a) General. The opportunity to harvest Pacific Coast groundfish is allocated among participants in the fishery
when the ACLs for a given year are established in the biennial harvest specifications. For any stock that
has been declared overfished, any formal allocation may be temporarily revised for the duration of the
rebuilding period. For certain species, primarily trawl-dominant species, separate allocations for the trawl
and nontrawl fishery (which for this purpose includes limited entry fixed gear, directed open access, and
recreational fisheries) will be established biennially or annually using the standards and procedures
described in Chapter 6 of the PCGFMP. Chapter 6 of the PCGFMP provides the allocation structure and

percentages for species allocated between the trawl and nontrawl fisheries. Also, for those species not
subject to the trawl and nontrawl allocations specified under Amendment 21 and in paragraph (c)(1) of
this section, separate allocations for the limited entry and open access fisheries may be established using
the procedures described in Chapters 6 and 11 of the PCGFMP and this subpart. Allocation of sablefish
north of 36° N lat. is described in paragraph (h) of this section and in the PCGFMP. Allocation of Pacific
whiting is described in paragraph (i) of this section and in the PCGFMP. Allocation of black rockfish is
described in paragraph (l) of this section. Allocation of Pacific halibut bycatch is described in paragraph
(m) of this section. Allocations not specified in the PCGFMP are established in regulation through the
biennial harvest specifications and are listed in Tables 1 a through d and Tables 2 a through d of this
subpart.
(b) Fishery harvest guidelines and reductions made prior to fishery allocations. Prior to the setting of fishery
allocations, the TAC, ACL, or ACT when specified, is reduced by the Pacific Coast treaty Indian Tribal
harvest (allocations, set-asides, and estimated harvest under regulations at § 660.50); projected scientific
research catch of all groundfish species, estimates of fishing mortality in non-groundfish fisheries; and, as
necessary, deductions to account for unforeseen catch events and deductions for EFPs. Deductions are
listed in the footnotes of Tables 1a and 2a of subpart C of this part. The remaining amount after these
deductions is the fishery harvest guideline or quota. (Note: recreational estimates are not deducted here.)
(1) Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribal allocations, set-asides, and regulations are specified during the
biennial harvest specifications process and are found at § 660.50 and in Tables 1a and 2a of this
subpart.
(2) Scientific research catch results from scientific research activity as defined in regulations at §
600.10.
(3) Estimates of fishing mortality in non-groundfish fisheries are based on historical catch and projected
fishing activities.
(4) EFPs are authorized and governed by regulations at §§ 660.60(f) and 600.745.
(c) Trawl/nontrawl allocations.
(1) Species/species groups and areas allocated between the trawl and non-trawl fisheries are allocated
based on the amounts and percentages in the table below. IFQ species not listed in the table below
are allocated between the trawl and nontrawl fisheries through the biennial harvest specifications
process.

(i)

Trawl fishery allocation. The allocation for the limited entry trawl fishery is derived by applying
the trawl allocation amounts and percentages as specified in paragraph (c) of this section and
as specified during the biennial harvest specifications process to the fishery harvest guideline
for species/species groups and areas. For IFQ species the trawl allocation is further subdivided
within each of the trawl sectors (MS, C/P, and IFQ) as specified in § 660.140, 660.150, and
660.160 of subpart D. The whiting allocation is further subdivided among the trawl sectors as
specified in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section.

(ii) Nontrawl fishery allocation. For each species/species group and area, the nontrawl fishery
allocation is derived by subtracting from the corresponding harvest guideline the trawl
allocations specified in paragraph (c) of this section and during the biennial harvest
specifications. The nontrawl allocation will be shared between the limited entry fixed gear, open
access, and recreational fisheries as specified through the biennial harvest specifications
process and consistent with allocations in the PCGFMP.
(2) [Reserved]
(d) Commercial harvest guidelines. To derive the commercial harvest guideline, the fishery harvest guideline
is further reduced by the recreational set-asides. The commercial harvest guideline is then allocated
between the limited entry fishery (both trawl and fixed gear) and the directed open access fishery, as
appropriate.
(e) Limited entry (LE)/open access (OA) allocations —
(1) LE/OA allocation percentages. The allocations between the limited entry and open access fisheries
are based on standards from the PCGFMP.
(2) Species with LE/OA allocations. For species with LE/OA allocations that are not subject to
Amendment 21 allocations, the allocation between the limited entry (both trawl and fixed gear) and
the open access fisheries is determined by applying the percentage for those species with a LE/OA
allocation to the commercial harvest guideline plus the amount set-aside for the non-groundfish
fisheries.

Fisheries off West Coast States

(i)

50 CFR 660.55(e)(2)(i)

Limited entry allocation. The allocation for the limited entry fishery is the commercial harvest
guideline minus any allocation to the directed open access fishery.

(ii) Open access allocation. The allocation for the open access fishery is derived by applying the
open access allocation percentage to the annual commercial harvest guideline or quota plus
the non-groundfish fishery (i.e., incidental open access fishery) amount described in paragraph
(b) of this section. The result is the total open access allocation. The portion that is set-aside
for the non-groundfish fisheries is deducted and the remainder is the directed open access
portion. For management areas or stocks for which quotas or harvest guidelines for a stock are
not fully utilized, no separate allocation will be established for the open access fishery until it is
projected that the allowable catch for a species will be reached.
(A) Open access allocation percentage. For each species with a harvest guideline or quota, the
initial open access allocation percentage is calculated by:
(1) Computing the total catch for that species during the window period (July 11, 1984
through August 1, 1988) for the limited entry program by any vessel that did not
initially receive a limited entry permit.
(2) Dividing that amount by the total catch during the window period by all gear.
(3) The guidelines in this paragraph apply to recalculation of the open access allocation
percentage. Any recalculated allocation percentage will be used in calculating the
following biennial fishing period's open access allocation.
(B) [Reserved]
(f) Catch accounting. Catch accounting refers to how the catch in a fishery is monitored against the
allocations described in this section. For species with trawl/nontrawl allocations, catch of those species
are counted against the trawl/nontrawl allocations as explained in paragraph (f)(1) of this section. For
species with limited entry/open access allocations in a given biennial cycle, catch of those species are
counted against the limited entry/open access allocations as explained in paragraph (f)(1)(ii) of this
section.
(1) Between the trawl and nontrawl fisheries —
(i)

Catch accounting for the trawl allocation. Any groundfish caught by a vessel registered to a
limited entry trawl-endorsed permit will be counted against the trawl allocation while they are
declared in to a groundfish limited entry trawl fishery and while the applicable trawl fishery
listed in subpart D of this part for that vessel's limited entry permit is open.

(ii) Catch accounting for the nontrawl allocation. All groundfish caught by a vessel not registered to
a limited entry permit and not fishing in the non-groundfish fishery will be counted against the
nontrawl allocation. All groundfish caught by a vessel registered to a limited entry permit when
the fishery for a vessel's limited entry permit has closed or they are not declared in to a limited
entry fishery, will be counted against the nontrawl allocation, unless they are declared in to a
non-groundfish fishery. Catch by vessels fishing in the non-groundfish fishery, as defined at §
660.11, will be accounted for in the estimated mortality in the non-groundfish fishery that is
deducted from the ACL or ACT when specified.

(g) Recreational fisheries. Recreational fishing for groundfish is outside the scope of, and not affected by, the
regulations governing limited entry and open access fisheries. Certain amounts of groundfish will be set
aside for the recreational fishery during the biennial specifications process. These amounts will be
estimated prior to dividing the commercial harvest guideline between the limited entry and open access
fisheries.
(h) Sablefish Allocations (north of 36° N. lat.). The allocations of sablefish north of 36° N. lat. described in
paragraph (h) of this section are specified in Chapter 6 of the PCGFMP.
(1) Tribal/nontribal allocation. The sablefish allocation to Pacific coast treaty Indian tribes is identified at
§ 660.50(f)(2). The remainder is available to the nontribal fishery (limited entry, open access
(directed and incidental), and research).
(2) Between the limited entry and open access fisheries. The allocation of sablefish after tribal
deductions is further reduced by the estimated total mortality of sablefish in research and
recreational fisheries; the remaining yield (commercial harvest guideline) is divided between open
access and limited entry fisheries. The limited entry fishery allocation is 90.6 percent of the
commercial harvest guideline. The open access allocation is 9.4 percent of the commercial harvest
guideline and includes incidental catch in non-groundfish fisheries, or incidental open access.
(3) Between the limited entry trawl and limited entry fixed gear fisheries. The limited entry sablefish
allocation is further allocated 58 percent to the trawl fishery and 42 percent to the limited entry fixed
gear (longline and pot/trap) fishery.
(4) Between the limited entry fixed gear primary season and daily trip limit fisheries. Within the limited
entry fixed gear fishery allocation, 85 percent is reserved for the primary season described in §
660.231, subpart E, leaving 15 percent for the limited entry daily trip limit fishery described in §
660.232, subpart E.
(5) Ratios between tiers for sablefish-endorsed limited entry permits. The Regional Administrator will
biennially or annually calculate the size of the cumulative trip limit for each of the three tiers
associated with the sablefish endorsement such that the ratio of limits between the tiers is
approximately 1:1.75:3.85 for Tier 3:Tier 2:Tier 1, respectively. The size of the cumulative trip limits
will vary depending on the amount of sablefish available for the primary fishery and on estimated
discard mortality rates within the fishery. The size of the cumulative trip limits for the three tiers in
the primary fishery will be announced in § 660.231(b)(3), subpart E.
(i)

Pacific whiting allocation. The allocation structure and percentages for Pacific whiting are described in the
PCGFMP.
(1) Annual treaty tribal Pacific whiting allocations are provided in § 660.50, subpart C.
(2) The fishery harvest guideline for Pacific whiting is allocated among three sectors, as follows: 34
percent for the C/P Co-op Program; 24 percent for the MS Co-op Program; and 42 percent for the
Shore based IFQ Program. No more than 5 percent of the Shore based IFQ Program allocation may
be taken and retained south of 42° N. lat. before the start of the primary Pacific whiting season north
of 42° N. lat. Specific sector allocations for a given calendar year are found in Tables 1a through c
and 2a through c of this subpart. Set-asides for other species for the at-sea whiting fishery for a
given calendar year are found in Tables 1D and 2D of this subpart.

(j)

50 CFR 660.55(j)

Fishery set-asides. Annual set-asides are not formal allocations but they are amounts which are not
available to the other fisheries during the fishing year. For Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries, set-asides
will be deducted from the TAC, OY, ACL, or ACT when specified. For the catcher/processor and
mothership sectors of the at-sea Pacific whiting fishery, set-asides will be deducted from the limited entry
trawl fishery allocation. Set-aside amounts may be adjusted through the biennial harvest specifications
and management measures process.

(k) [Reserved]
(l)

Black rockfish harvest guideline. The commercial tribal harvest guideline for black rockfish off Washington
State is specified at § 660.50(f)(1), subpart C.

(m) Pacific halibut bycatch allocation. The Pacific halibut fishery off Washington, Oregon and California (Area
2A in the halibut regulations) is managed under regulations at 50 CFR part 300, subpart E. The PCGFMP
sets the trawl bycatch mortality limit at 15 percent of the Area 2A total constant exploitation yield (TCEY)
for legal size halibut (net weight), not to exceed 130,000 pounds annually for legal size halibut (net
weight) for 2012 through 2014 and, beginning in 2015, not to exceed 100,000 pounds annually for legal
size halibut (net weight). The TCEY used for these calculations will be the best estimate of the TCEY
available from the International Pacific Halibut Commission at the time of the calculation. For the purpose
of this paragraph, the term “legal sized” halibut refers to halibut with a total length of 32 inches and above,
or O32, and the term “sublegal sized” halibut refers to halibut under 32 inches in total length, or U32. To
determine the trawl bycatch mortality limit, the pounds of halibut available to the trawl fleet will be
expanded from the legal sized halibut mortality (net weight) to a round weight legal and sublegal sized
amount. To convert from net weight to round weight, multiply by the conversion factor used by the
International Pacific Halibut Commission at the time of calculation for net weight to round weight. To
convert from legal sized halibut to legal and sublegal sized halibut, multiply by the conversion factor from
the NMFS trawl fishery bycatch report as reported to the International Pacific Halibut Commission at the
time of calculation for legal sized to legal and sublegal sized halibut. The bycatch allocation percent can
be adjusted downward or upward through the biennial specifications and management measures process
but the upper bound on the maximum pounds of allocation can only be changed though an FMP
amendment. Part of the overall total mortality limit is a set-aside of 10 mt of Pacific halibut (legal and
sublegal, round weight), to accommodate bycatch in the at-sea Pacific whiting fishery and in the
shorebased trawl fishery south of 40°10′ N. lat. (estimated to be approximately 5 mt each). This set-aside
can be adjusted through the biennial specifications and management measures process.

§ 660.60 Specifications and management measures.
(a) General. NMFS will establish and adjust specifications and management measures biennially or annually
and during the fishing year. Management of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery will be conducted
consistent with the standards and procedures in the PCGFMP and other applicable law. The PCGFMP is
available from the Regional Administrator or the Council. Regulations under this subpart may be
promulgated, removed, or revised during the fishing year. Any such action will be made according to the
framework standards and procedures in the PCGFMP and other applicable law, and will be published in
the FEDERAL REGISTER.

Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.60(b)

(b) Biennial actions. The Pacific Coast Groundfish fishery is managed on a biennial, calendar year basis.
Harvest specifications and management measures will be announced biennially, with the harvest
specifications for each species or species group set for two sequential calendar years. In general,
management measures are designed to achieve, but not exceed, the specifications, particularly optimum
yields (harvest guidelines and quotas), fishery harvest guidelines, commercial harvest guidelines and
quotas, limited entry and open access allocations, or other approved fishery allocations, and to protect
overfished and depleted stocks. Management measures will be designed to take into account the cooccurrence ratios of target species with overfished species, and will select measures that will minimize
bycatch to the extent practicable.
(1) Except for Pacific whiting, every biennium, NMFS will implement OFLs, ABCs, and ACLs, if applicable,
for each species or species group based on the harvest controls used in the previous biennium
(referred to as default harvest control rules) applied to the best available scientific information. The
default harvest control rules for each species or species group are listed in Appendix F to the
PCGFMP and the biennial SAFE document. NMFS may implement OFLs, ABCs, and ACLs, if
applicable, that vary from the default harvest control rules based on a Council recommendation.
(2) [Reserved]
(c) Routine management measures. Catch restrictions that are likely to be adjusted on a biennial or more
frequent basis may be imposed and announced by a single notification in the FEDERAL REGISTER if good
cause exists under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) to waive notice and comment, and if they have
been designated as routine through the two-meeting process described in the PCGFMP. Routine
management measures that may be revised during the fishing year, via this process, are implemented in
paragraph (h) of this section, and in subparts C through G of this part, including Tables 1a through 1c, and
2a through 2c to subpart C of this part, Tables 1 (North) and 1 (South) of subpart D of this part, Tables 2
(North) and 2 (South) of subpart E of this part, and Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of subpart F of this
part. Most trip, bag, and size limits, and some Groundfish Conservation Area closures in the groundfish
fishery have been designated “routine,” which means they may be changed rapidly after a single Council
meeting. Council meetings are held in the months of March, April, June, September, and November.
Inseason changes to routine management measures are announced in the FEDERAL REGISTER pursuant to
the requirements of the APA. Changes to trip limits are effective at the times stated in the FEDERAL
REGISTER. Once a trip limit change is effective, it is illegal to take and retain, possess, or land more fish
than allowed under the new trip limit. This means that, unless otherwise announced in the FEDERAL
REGISTER, offloading must begin before the time a fishery closes or a more restrictive trip limit takes effect.
The following catch restrictions have been designated as routine:
(1) Commercial Limited Entry and Open Access Fisheries —
(i)

Trip landing and frequency limits, size limits, all gear. Trip landing and frequency limits have
been designated as routine for the following species or species groups: Widow rockfish, canary
rockfish, yellowtail rockfish, Pacific ocean perch, yelloweye rockfish, black rockfish, blue/
deacon rockfish, splitnose rockfish, blackgill rockfish in the area south of 40°10′ N. lat.,
chilipepper, bocaccio, cowcod, Minor Nearshore Rockfish or shallow and deeper Minor
Nearshore Rockfish, shelf or Minor Shelf Rockfish, and Minor Slope Rockfish; Dover sole,
sablefish, shortspine thornyheads, and longspine thornyheads; petrale sole, rex sole, arrowtooth
flounder, Pacific sanddabs, big skate, and the Other Flatfish complex, which is composed of
those species plus any other flatfish species listed at § 660.11; Pacific whiting; lingcod; Pacific
cod; spiny dogfish; longnose skate; cabezon in Oregon and California and “Other Fish” as
defined at § 660.11. In addition to the species and species groups listed above, sub-limits or

50 CFR 660.60(c)(1)(i) (enhanced display)

page 91 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.60(c)(1)(ii)

aggregate limits may be specified, specific to the Shorebased IFQ Program, for the following
species: Big skate, California skate, California scorpionfish, leopard shark, soupfin shark,
finescale codling, Pacific rattail (grenadier), ratfish, kelp greenling, shortbelly rockfish, and
cabezon in Washington. Size limits have been designated as routine for sablefish and lingcod.
Trip landing and frequency limits and size limits for species with those limits designated as
routine may be imposed or adjusted on a biennial or more frequent basis for the purpose of
keeping landings within the harvest levels announced by NMFS, and for the other purposes
given in paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
(ii) Differential trip landing limits and frequency limits based on gear type, closed seasons, and
bycatch limits. Trip landing and frequency limits that differ by gear type and closed seasons
may be imposed or adjusted on a biennial or more frequent basis for the purpose of rebuilding
and protecting overfished or depleted stocks.
(iii) Type of limited entry trawl gear on board. Limits on the type of limited entry trawl gear on board
a vessel may be imposed on a biennial or more frequent basis. Requirements and restrictions
on limited entry trawl gear type are found at § 660.130(b).
(iv) List of IFQ species documented on Observer Program reporting form. As specified at §
660.140(h)(1)(i), to be exempt from observer coverage while docked in port depends on
documentation of specified retained IFQ species on the Observer Program reporting form. The
list of IFQ species documented on the Observer Program form may be modified on a biennial or
more frequent basis under routine management measures § 660.60(c)(1).
(v) Shorebased IFQ Program surplus carryover percentage. As specified at § 660.140(e)(5)(i), a
percentage of surplus QP or IBQ pounds in a vessel account may be carried over from one year
to the next. The percentage of surplus QP or IBQ pounds, that may be carried over may be
modified on a biennial or more frequent basis, and may not be higher than 10 percent.
(2) Recreational fisheries all gear types. Routine management measures for all groundfish species,
separately or in any combination, include bag limits, size limits, time/area closures, boat limits, hook
limits, and dressing requirements. All routine management measures on recreational fisheries are
intended to keep landings within the harvest levels announced by NMFS, to rebuild and protect
overfished or depleted species, and to maintain consistency with State regulations, and for the other
purposes set forth in this section.
(i)

Bag limits. To spread the available catch over a large number of anglers; to protect and rebuild
overfished species; to avoid waste.

(ii) Size limits. To protect juvenile fish; to protect and rebuild overfished species; to enhance the
quality of the recreational fishing experience.
(iii) Season duration restrictions. To spread the available catch over a large number of anglers; to
protect and rebuild overfished species; to avoid waste; to enhance the quality of the
recreational fishing experience.
(3) All fisheries, all gear types —
(i)

Depth-based management measures. Depth-based management measures, particularly closed
areas known as Groundfish Conservation Areas, defined in § 660.11, include RCAs, BRAs, and
BACs, and may be implemented in any fishery sector and/or for any gear type that takes
groundfish directly or incidentally. Depth-based management measures are set using specific

50 CFR 660.60(c)(3)(i) (enhanced display)

page 92 of 676

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.60(c)(3)(i)(A)

boundary lines that approximate depth contours with latitude/longitude waypoints found at §§
660.70 through 660.74 and 660.76 or the EEZ. Depth-based management measures and closed
areas may be used for the following conservation objectives: To protect and rebuild overfished
or rebuilding stocks; to prevent the overfishing of any groundfish species by minimizing the
direct or incidental catch of that species; or to minimize the incidental harvest of any protected
or prohibited species taken in the groundfish fishery. Depth-based management measures and
closed areas may be used for the following economic objectives: To extend the fishing season;
for the commercial fisheries, to minimize disruption of traditional fishing and marketing
patterns; for the recreational fisheries, to spread the available catch over a large number of
anglers; to discourage target fishing while allowing small incidental catches to be landed; and
to allow small fisheries to operate outside the normal season.
(A) Rockfish Conservation Areas. RCAs, as defined at sect; 660.11, may be modified as routine
action for vessels using trawl gear (off Washington), non-trawl gear (coastwide), or
recreational gear (coastwide) consistent with the purposes described in this paragraph
(c)(3)(i).
(B) Bycatch Reduction Areas. BRAs may be implemented through automatic action in the
Pacific whiting fishery consistent with paragraph (d)(1) of this section. BRAs may be
implemented as routine management measures for vessels using midwater groundfish
trawl gear consistent with the purposes described in this paragraph (c)(3)(i).
(C) Block Area Closures. BACs, as defined at § 660.11, may be closed or reopened, in the EEZ
off Washington, Oregon, and California, for vessels taking and retaining groundfish using
any gear (trawl or non-trawl) in the EEZ consistent with the purposes described in this
paragraph (c)(3)(i).
(ii) Non-tribal deductions from the ACL. Changes to the non-tribal amounts deducted from the TAC,
ACLs, or ACT when specified, described at § 660.55(b)(2) through (4) and specified in the
footnotes to Tables 1a through 1c, and 2a through 2c, to subpart C, have been designated as
routine to make fish that would otherwise go unharvested available to other fisheries during the
fishing year. Adjustments may be made to provide additional harvest opportunities in
groundfish fisheries when catch in scientific research activities, non-groundfish fisheries, and
EFPs are lower than the amounts that were initially deducted off the TAC, ACL, or ACT when
specified, during the biennial specifications or to allocate yield from the deduction to account
for unforeseen catch events to groundfish fisheries. When recommending adjustments to the
non-tribal deductions, the Council shall consider the allocation framework criteria outlined in
the PCGFMP and the objectives to maintain or extend fishing and marketing opportunities
taking into account the best available fishery information on sector needs.
(4) Inseason action for canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, and black rockfish in California State-Specific
Federal Harvest Limits outside of a Council meeting. The Regional Administrator, NMFS West Coast
Region, after consultation with the Chairman of the Pacific Fishery Management Council and the
Fishery Director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, or their designees, is authorized to
modify the following designated routine management measures for canary rockfish, yelloweye
rockfish, and black rockfish off the coast of California. For black rockfish in commercial fisheries trip
landing and frequency limits; and depth based management measures. For black, canary, and
yelloweye rockfish in recreational fisheries bag limits; time/area closures; depth based management.
Any modifications may be made only after NMFS has determined that a California state-specific

50 CFR 660.60(d)

federal harvest limit for canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, or black rockfish, is attained or projected
to be attained prior to the first day of the next Council meeting. Any modifications may only be used
to restrict catch of canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, or black rockfish off the coast of California.
(d) Automatic actions. The NMFS Regional Administrator or designee will initiate automatic management
actions without prior public notice, opportunity to comment, or a Council meeting. These actions are
nondiscretionary, and the impacts must have been taken into account prior to the action. Unless
otherwise stated, a single notice will be published in the FEDERAL REGISTER making the action effective if
good cause exists under the APA to waive notice and comment.
(1) Automatic actions will be initiated in the following circumstances:
(i)

Close the MS or C/P sector when that sector's Pacific whiting allocation is reached, or is
projected to be reached. The MS sector non-coop fishery will be closed by automatic action
when the Pacific whiting or non-whiting allocation to the non-coop fishery has been reached or
is projected to be reached.

(ii) Close one or both MS and C/P sectors when a non-whiting groundfish species with allocations
is reached or projected to be reached.
(iii) Reapportion the unused portion of the tribal allocation of Pacific whiting to the MS sector, C/P
sector, and Shorebased IFQ sector.
(iv) Close the following groundfish fisheries, not including Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries,
when conditions for Chinook salmon bycatch described in this table and paragraphs
(d)(1)(iv)(A) and (B) of this section are met:

fishery, MS Co-op Program and C/P Co-op Program) will be closed when Chinook salmon
bycatch exceeds 11,000 Chinook salmon if a routine management measure specified at §
660.60(c) has not been implemented as described in § 660.60(i)(2) for that individual
component of the whiting sector.
(B) Consistent with § 660.60(i)(2), the Chinook salmon closure at 11,000 fish does not apply
to those whiting sector vessels that are parties to an approved Salmon Mitigation Plan, as
specified at § 660.113(e), unless the non-whiting sector has caught the entire 3,500
Chinook salmon bycatch reserve.
(v) Close all groundfish fisheries, including Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries, if Chinook salmon

(https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/west-coast), phone, letter, or press release. Allocation
reapportionments will be followed by publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER, in which public comment
will be sought for a reasonable period of time thereafter.
(e) [Reserved]
(f) Exempted fishing permits (EFP).
(1) The Regional Administrator may issue EFPs under regulations at § 660.30, subpart C, for
compensation with fish for collecting resource information. Such EFPs may include the collecting of
scientific samples of groundfish species that would otherwise be prohibited for retention.
(2) The Regional Administrator may also issue EFPs under regulations at 50 CFR part § 600.745 for
limited testing, public display, data collection, exploratory, health and safety, environmental cleanup,
and/or hazard removal purposes, the target or incidental harvest of species managed under an FMP
or fishery regulations that would otherwise be prohibited.
(3) U.S. vessels operating under an EFP are subject to restrictions in subparts C through G of this part
unless otherwise provided in the permit.
(g) Applicability. Groundfish species harvested in the territorial sea (0-3 nm) will be counted toward the catch
limitations in Tables 1a through 2d of this subpart, and those specified in subparts D through G, including
Tables 1 (North) and 1 (South) of subpart D, Tables 2 (North) and 2 (South) of subpart E, Tables 3 (North)
and 3 (South) of subpart F.
(h) Fishery restrictions —
(1) Commercial trip limits and recreational bag and boat limits. Commercial trip limits and recreational
bag and boat limits defined in Tables 1a through 2d of this subpart, and those specified in subparts
D through G of this part, including Tables 1 (North) and 1 (South) of subpart D, Tables 2 (North) and
2 (South) of subpart E, Tables 3 (North) and 3 (South) of subpart F must not be exceeded.
(2) Landing. As stated at § 660.11 (in the definition of “Land or landing”), once the offloading of any
species begins, all fish aboard the vessel are counted as part of the landing and must be reported as
such. All fish from a landing must be removed from the vessel before a new fishing trip begins,
except for processing vessels fishing in the catcher/processor or mothership sectors of the Pacific
whiting fishery. Transfer of fish at sea is prohibited under § 660.12, unless a vessel is participating in
the primary whiting fishery as part of the mothership or catcher/processor sectors, as described at §
660.131(a). Catcher vessels in the mothership sector must transfer all catch from a haul to the same
vessel registered to an MS permit prior to the gear being set for a subsequent haul. Catch may not
be transferred to a tender vessel.
(3) Fishing ahead. Unless the fishery is closed, a vessel that has landed its cumulative or daily limit may
continue to fish on the limit for the next legal period, so long as no fish (including, but not limited to,
groundfish with no trip limits, shrimp, prawns, or other nongroundfish species or shellfish) are landed
(offloaded) until the next legal period. Fishing ahead is not allowed during or before a closed period.
(4) Weights and percentages. All weights are round weights or round-weight equivalents unless
otherwise specified. Percentages are based on round weights, and, unless otherwise specified, apply
only to legal fish on board.

Length measurement. Unless otherwise specified, size limits in the commercial and recreational
groundfish fisheries apply to the “total length,” which is the longest measurement of the fish
without mutilation of the fish or the use of force to extend the length of the fish. No fish with a
size limit may be retained if it is in such condition that its length has been extended or cannot
be determined by these methods. For conversions not listed here, contact the state where the
fish will be landed. Washington state regulations require all fish with a size limit landed into
Washington to be landed with the head on.
(A) Whole fish. For a whole fish, total length is measured from the tip of the snout (mouth
closed) to the tip of the tail in a natural, relaxed position.
(B) “Headed” fish. For a fish with the head removed (“headed”), the length is measured from
the origin of the first dorsal fin (where the front dorsal fin meets the dorsal surface of the
body closest to the head) to the tip of the upper lobe of the tail; the dorsal fin and tail must
be left intact.
(C) Filets. A filet is the flesh from one side of a fish extending from the head to the tail, which
has been removed from the body (head, tail, and backbone) in a single continuous piece.
Filet lengths may be subject to size limits for some groundfish taken in the recreational
fishery off California (see subpart G of this part). A filet is measured along the length of
the longest part of the filet in a relaxed position; stretching or otherwise manipulating the
filet to increase its length is not permitted.

(ii) Weight conversions and size limits. To determine the round weight, multiply the processed
weight times the conversion factor. Federal commercial groundfish regulations do not
supersede more restrictive state commercial groundfish regulations, including landings
requirements regarding groundfish species or the condition in which they may be landed.
(A) Limited entry fixed gear or open access fisheries. The weight limit conversion factor
established by the state where the fish is or will be landed will be used to convert the
processed weight to round weight for purposes of applying the trip limit or other
allocation. Weight conversions provided herein are those conversions currently in use by
the States of Washington, Oregon, and California and may be subject to change by those
states. Fishery participants should contact fishery enforcement officials in the state where
the fish will be landed to determine that state's official conversion factor.
(1) Sablefish. The following conversion applies to both the limited entry fixed gear and
open access fisheries when trip limits are in effect for those fisheries. For headed
and gutted (eviscerated) sablefish the weight conversion factor is 1.6 (multiply the
headed and gutted weight by 1.6 to determine the round weight).
(2) Lingcod. The following conversions apply in both limited entry fixed gear and open
access fisheries.
(i)

North of 42° N. lat., for lingcod with the head removed, the minimum size limit is
18 inches (46 cm), which corresponds to 22 inches (56 cm) total length for
whole fish.

(ii) South of 42° N lat., for lingcod with the head removed, the minimum size limit is
18 inches (46 cm), which corresponds to 22 inches (56 cm) total length for
whole fish.
(iii) The weight conversion factor for headed and gutted lingcod is 1.5. The
conversion factor for lingcod that has only been gutted with the head on is 1.1.
(B) Shorebased IFQ Program. For vessels landing sorted catch, the weight conversions for
purposes of applying QP and size limits are provided in paragraphs (h)(5)(ii)(B)(2)(i)
through (iii) of this section.
(1) Sablefish. The weight conversion factor for headed and gutted (eviscerated)
sablefish is 1.6.
(2) Lingcod. The following conversions and size limits apply:
(i)

The minimum size limit for lingcod North of 42° N. lat. is 22 inches (56 cm) total
length for whole fish, which corresponds to 18 inches (46 cm) with the head
removed.

(ii) The minimum size limit for lingcod South of 42° N lat. is 22 inches (56 cm) total
length for whole fish, which corresponds to 18 inches (46 cm) with the head
removed.
(iii) The weight conversion factor for headed and gutted (eviscerated) lingcod is 1.5;
for lingcod that has only been gutted with the head on, the weight conversion
factor is 1.1.
(3) Pacific whiting. For headed and gutted Pacific whiting (head removed just in front of
the collar bone and viscera removed,) the weight conversion factor is 1.56; and for
headed and gutted Pacific whiting with the tail removed the weight conversion factor
is 2.0.
(4) Rockfish (including thornyheads), except POP. For headed and gutted (eviscerated),
the weight conversion factor is 1.75; for headed and gutted, western cut (head
removed just in front of the collar bone and viscera removed,) the weight conversion
factor is 1.66; for headed and gutted, eastern cut (head removed just behind the
collar bone and viscera removed,) the weight conversion factor is 2.0.
(5) Pacific ocean perch (POP). For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the weight
conversion factor is 1.6.
(6) Pacific cod. For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the weight conversion factor is
1.58.
(7) Dover sole, English sole, and “other flatfish”. For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the
weight conversion factor is 1.53.
(8) Petrale sole. For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the weight conversion factor is
1.51.
(9) Arrowtooth flounder. For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the weight conversion
factor is 1.35.

(10) Starry flounder. For headed and gutted (eviscerated), the weight conversion factor is
1.49.
(6) Sorting. Trawl fishery sorting requirements are specified at § 660.130(d), subpart D. Limited entry
fixed gear fishery sorting requirements are specified at § 660.230(c), subpart E, and Open access
fishery sorting requirements are specified at § 660.330(c), subpart F.
(7) Crossover provisions. Crossover provisions apply to three activities: Fishing on different sides of a
management line, fishing in both the limited entry and open access fisheries, or fishing in both the
Shorebased IFQ Program and the limited entry fixed gear fishery. Fishery-specific crossover
provisions can be found in subparts D through F of this part.
(i)

Fishing in management areas with different trip limits. Trip limits for a species or a species
group may differ in different management areas along the coast. The following crossover
provisions apply to vessels fishing in different geographical areas that have different
cumulative or “per trip” trip limits for the same species or species group, with the following
exceptions. Such crossover provisions do not apply to: IFQ species (defined at § 660.140(c),
subpart D) for vessels that are declared into the Shorebased IFQ Program (see §
660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A), for valid Shorebased IFQ Program declarations); species that are subject
only to daily trip limits; or to trip limits for black rockfish off Washington, as described at §§
660.230(e) and 660.330(e).
(A) Going from a more restrictive to a more liberal area. If a vessel takes and retains any
groundfish species or species group of groundfish in an area where a more restrictive trip
limit applies before fishing in an area where a more liberal trip limit (or no trip limit)
applies, then that vessel is subject to the more restrictive trip limit for the entire period to
which that trip limit applies, no matter where the fish are taken and retained, possessed, or
landed.
(B) Going from a more liberal to a more restrictive area. If a vessel takes and retains a
groundfish species or species group in an area where a higher trip limit or no trip limit
applies, and takes and retains, possesses or lands the same species or species group in
an area where a more restrictive trip limit applies, that vessel is subject to the more
restrictive trip limit for the entire period to which that trip limit applies, no matter where the
fish are taken and retained, possessed, or landed.
(C) Fishing in two different areas where a species or species group is managed with different
types of trip limits. During the fishing year, NMFS may implement management measures
for a species or species group that set different types of trip limits (for example, per trip
limits versus cumulative trip limits) for different areas. If a vessel fishes for a species or
species group that is managed with different types of trip limits in two different areas
within the same cumulative limit period, then that vessel is subject to the most restrictive
overall cumulative limit for that species, regardless of where fishing occurs.
(D) Minor rockfish. Several rockfish species are designated with species-specific limits on one
side of the 40°10′ N. lat. management line, and are included as part of a minor rockfish
complex on the other side of the line. A vessel that takes and retains fish from a minor
rockfish complex (nearshore, shelf, or slope) on both sides of a management line during a
single cumulative limit period is subject to the more restrictive cumulative limit for that
minor rockfish complex during that period.

50 CFR Part 660 (up to date as of 7/30/2024)
Fisheries off West Coast States

50 CFR 660.60(h)(7)(i)(D)(1)

(1) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish north of 40°10′ N. lat., that vessel is
also permitted to take and retain, possess or land splitnose rockfish up to its
cumulative limit south of 40°10′ N. lat., even if splitnose rockfish were a part of the
landings from minor slope rockfish taken and retained north of 40°10′ N. lat.
(2) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish south of 40°10′ N. lat., that vessel is
also permitted to take and retain, possess or land POP up to its cumulative limit
north of 40°10′ N. lat., even if POP were a part of the landings from minor slope
rockfish taken and retained south of 40°10′ N. lat.
(ii) Fishing in both limited entry and open access fisheries —
(A) Fishing in limited entry and open access fisheries with different trip limits. Open access trip
limits apply to any fishing conducted with open access gear, even if the vessel has a valid
limited entry permit with an endorsement for another type of gear. A vessel that fishes in
both the open access and limited entry fisheries is not entitled to two separate trip limits
for the same species. If a vessel has a limited entry permit registered to it at any time
during the trip limit period and uses open access gear, but the open access limit is smaller
than the limited entry limit, the open access limit may not be exceeded and counts toward
the limited entry allocation as established under the biennial groundfish harvest
specifications. If a vessel has a limited entry permit registered to it at any time during the
trip limit period and uses open access gear, but the open access limit is larger than the
limited entry limit, the smaller limited entry limit applies, even if taken entirely with open
access gear. These provisions do not apply to:
(1) IFQ species (defined at § 660.140(c)) for vessels that are declared into the
Shorebased IFQ Program (see § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A)) for valid Shorebased IFQ
Program declarations).
(2) Vessels with a valid limited entry permit endorsed for longline and/or pot gear fishing
inside the nontrawl RCA with stationary vertical jig gear or groundfish troll gear as
defined at § 660.320(b)(6). Vessels fishing with one of these two approved hook-andline gear configurations may fish up to the limited entry fixed gear trip limits in Table
2 (North) and Table 2 (South) of subpart E, either inside or outside the nontrawl RCA.
This provision only applies on fishing trips where the vessel made the appropriate
declaration (specified at § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A)).
(B) Limited entry permit restrictions for vessels fishing in the open access fishery —
(1) Vessel registered to a limited entry trawl permit. To fish with open access gear,
defined at § 660.11, a vessel registered to a limited entry trawl permit must make the
appropriate fishery declaration, as specified at § 660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A). In addition, a
vessel registered to a limited entry trawl permit must remove the permit from their
vessel, as specified at § 660.25(b)(4)(vi), unless the vessel will be fishing in the open
access fishery under one of the following declarations specified at § 660.13(d):
(i)

Non-groundfish trawl gear for pink shrimp,

(ii) Non-groundfish trawl gear for ridgeback prawn,
(iii) Non-groundfish trawl gear for California halibut,
(iv) Non-groundfish trawl gear for sea cucumber,

(v) Open access Dungeness crab pot/trap gear,
(vi) Open access HMS line gear,
(vii) Open access salmon troll gear,
(viii) Open access Coastal Pelagic Species net gear.
(2) Vessel registered to a limited entry fixed gear permit(s). To fish with open access
gear, defined at § 660.11, subpart C, a vessel registered to a limit entry fixed gear
permit must make the appropriate open access declaration, as specified at §
660.13(d)(4)(iv)(A). Vessels registered to a sablefish-endorsed permit(s) fishing in
the sablefish primary season (described at § 660.231, subpart E) may only fish with
the gear(s) endorsed on their sablefish-endorsed permit(s) against those limits.
(3) Vessel jointly registered to more than one limited entry permit. Vessels jointly
registered (under the provisions at § 660.25(b)(4)(iv)(B)) may fish with open access
gear (defined at § 660.11) if they meet the requirements of both paragraphs
(h)(7)(ii)(B)(1) and (2) of this section.
(iii) Fishing in both the Shorebased IFQ Program and the limited entry fixed gear fishery for vessels
that are jointly registered.
(A) Fishing in the Shorebased IFQ Program and limited entry fixed gear fishery with different
trip limits. If a vessel fishes in both the Shorebased IFQ Program and the limited entry
fixed gear fishery during a cumulative limit period, they are subject to the most restrictive
trip limits for non-IFQ species.
(B) Fishing in the Shorebased IFQ Program and the limited entry fixed gear sablefish primary
fishery with different trip limits. If a vessel is jointly registered and one or more of the
limited entry permits is sablefish endorsed, any sablefish landings made by a vessel
declared into the limited entry fixed gear fishery after the start of the sablefish primary
fishery count towards the tier limit(s), per regulations at § 660.232(a)(2), subpart E. Any
sablefish landings made by a vessel declared into the Shorebased IFQ Program must be
covered by quota pounds, per regulations at § 660.112(b), subpart D, and will not count
towards the tier limit(s).
(i)

Salmon bycatch management. Salmon bycatch is managed through routine management measures,
salmon bycatch guidelines and a Chinook salmon bycatch reserve, and fisheries closures. For purposes
of salmon bycatch management, the groundfish fishery is divided into the whiting sector and non-whiting
sector and includes bycatch of Chinook salmon and coho salmon from both non-tribal fisheries and
Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries. The non-whiting sector includes the Pacific Coast treaty Indian
vessels that target Pacific coast groundfish species other than whiting, as well as non-tribal vessels that
target Pacific coast groundfish species other than whiting in the midwater trawl, bottom trawl, and fixed
gear fisheries under the Shorebased IFQ Program, limited entry fixed gear fisheries, open access fisheries
as defined at § 660.11, and recreational fisheries subject to this provision as set out in § 660.360(d). The
whiting sector is the Pacific whiting fishery, as defined in § 660.111, and includes the Pacific Coast treaty
Indian vessels that target whiting, as well as non-tribal vessels that target whiting participating in the C/P
Co-op Program, the MS Co-op Program, and the Pacific whiting IFQ fishery.

(1) Routine management measures. Routine management measures specified at § 660.60(c) may be
implemented to minimize Chinook salmon and/or coho salmon bycatch in the groundfish fishery.
These measures may include BRAs, BACs, or a selective flatfish trawl gear requirement. These
measures would not apply to vessels fishing in Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries.
(i)

Non-whiting sector. Routine management measures to manage salmon bycatch in the nonwhiting sector include:
(A) A BAC for bottom trawl or midwater trawl as specified at § 660.60(c)(3)(i).
(B) A BRA for midwater trawl as specified at § 660.60(c)(3)(i).
(C) A selective flatfish trawl gear requirement for bottom trawl.

(ii) Whiting sector. Routine management measures to manage salmon bycatch in the whiting
sector include:
(A) A BAC as specified at § 660.60(c)(3)(i).
(B) A BRA as specified at § 660.60(c)(3)(i).
(2) Chinook salmon bycatch guidelines and Chinook salmon bycatch reserve. The Chinook salmon
bycatch guideline for the non-whiting sector is 5,500 fish. The Chinook salmon bycatch guideline for
the whiting sector is 11,000 fish. If a sector exceeds its Chinook salmon bycatch guideline, it may
access a reserve of 3,500 Chinook salmon reserve provided action has been taken to minimize
Chinook salmon bycatch as described in paragraph (i)(2)(i) or (ii) of this section. For bycatch
accounting purposes, all Chinook salmon bycatch from the groundfish fishery, including both nontribal and Pacific Coast treaty Indian fisheries, counts towards the applicable whiting or non-whiting
sector bycatch guideline and the reserve.
(i)

Reserve access for the non-whiting sector. The non-whiting sector may only access the reserve
if a measure described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this section has been implemented.

(ii) Reserve access for the whiting sector. Each component of the whiting sector (Pacific whiting
IFQ fishery, MS Co-op Program and C/P Co-op Program) may only access the reserve if a
measure described in paragraph (i)(1)(ii) of this section has been implemented for that
component of the whiting fishery. If a measure described in paragraph (i)(1)(ii) of this section
has not been implemented for that component of the whiting fishery, vessels within that
component that are parties to an approved Salmon Mitigation Plan (SMP), as specified at §
660.113(e), may access the reserve.
(3) Fisheries closures. Groundfish fisheries may be closed through automatic action at §
660.60(d)(1)(iv) and (v).

§ 660.75 Essential Fish Habitat (EFH).
Essential fish habitat (EFH) is defined as those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding,
feeding or growth to maturity (16 U.S.C. 1802 (10)). EFH for Pacific Coast Groundfish includes all waters and
substrate within areas with a depth less than or equal to 3,500 m (1,914 fm) shoreward to the mean higher high
water level or the upriver extent of saltwater intrusion (defined as upstream and landward to where ocean-derived
salts measure less than 0.5 parts per thousand during the period of average annual low flow). Seamounts in depths
greater than 3,500 m (1,914 fm) are also included due to their ecological importance to groundfish. Geographically,
EFH for Pacific Coast groundfish includes both a large band of marine waters that extends from the Northern edge
of the EEZ at the U.S. border with Canada to the Southern edge of the EEZ at the U.S. border with Mexico, and inland
within bays and estuaries. The seaward extent of EFH is consistent with the westward edge of the EEZ for areas
approximately north of Cape Mendocino. Approximately south of Cape Mendocino, the 3500 m depth contour and
EFH is substantially shoreward of the seaward boundary of the EEZ. There are also numerous discrete areas
seaward of the main 3500 m depth contour where the ocean floor rises to depths less than 3500 m and therefore
are also EFH. The seaward boundary of EFH and additional areas of EFH are defined by straight lines connecting a
series of latitude and longitude coordinates in §§ 660.76 through 660.79.
(a) The seaward boundary of EFH, with the exception of the areas in paragraphs (b) through (qq), is bounded
by the EEZ combined with a straight line connecting all of the following points in the order stated:
(1) 40°18.17′ N. lat., 128°46.72′ W. long.;
(2) 40°17.33′ N. lat., 125°58.62′ W. long.;

§ 660.76 Coastwide EFHCAs.
(a) General. EFHCAs are defined at § 660.11. The boundaries of areas designated as EFHCAs are defined by
straight lines connecting a series of latitude and longitude coordinates and other regulatory boundaries.
This paragraph provides coordinates outlining the boundaries of the coastwide EFHCA. Coordinates
outlining the boundaries of EFHCAs off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California are provided in
§§ 660.77, 660.78, and 660.79, respectively. Fishing activity that is prohibited or permitted within a
particular EFHCA is detailed at subparts C through G of this part.
(b) Seaward of the 700-fm (1280-m) contour. This area includes all waters designated as EFH within the West
Coast EEZ west of a line approximating the 700-fm (1280-m) depth contour which is defined by straight
lines connecting all of the following points in the order stated:
