NOAA Fisheries Service has announced the approval of Amendment 33 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs. Amendment 33 allows NOAA Fisheries Service to reduce the amount of fees collected under the Crab Rationalization Program to the amount needed to finance the Federal loan program for quota share purchase.
The amendment provides the flexibility to reserve only the amount of fees necessary to support the loan program, including no fees if none are needed. This action is necessary to ensure that fishery participants do not pay fees for loan program financing in excess of the fees needed to support the loan program.
For more information, read the Federal Register notice or contact Jeff Hartman at 907-586-7442.
