SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The IPHC is a bilateral regional 

fishery management organization 

established pursuant to the Convention 

between Canada and the United States 

for the Preservation of the Halibut 

Fishery of the North Pacific Ocean and 

Bering Sea (Convention). The 

Convention was signed at Ottawa, 

Ontario, on March 2, 1953, and was 

amended by a Protocol Amending the 

Convention signed at Washington, DC, 

on March 29, 1979. The Convention’s 

central objective is to develop the stocks 

of Pacific halibut in waters off the west 

coasts of Canada and the United States 

to levels that will permit the optimum 

yield from the Pacific halibut fishery 

and to maintain the stocks at those 

levels. The IPHC fulfills this objective in 

part by recommending Pacific halibut 

fishery conservation and management 

measures for approval by the United 

States and Canada. Pursuant to the 

Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982, 

the Secretary of State, with the 

concurrence of the Secretary of 

Commerce, may accept or reject, on 

behalf of the United States, conservation 

and management measures 

recommended by the IPHC. 16 U.S.C. 

773b. Measures accepted by the 

Secretary of State are adopted as 

binding regulations governing fishing 

for Pacific halibut in Convention waters 

of the United States. 16 U.S.C. 

773c(b)(1). More information on the 

IPHC can be found at http://

www.iphc.int. 

Section 773a of the Northern Pacific 

Halibut Act of 1982 (16 U.S.C. 773a) 

requires that the United States be 

represented on the IPHC by three U.S. 

Commissioners. U.S. Commissioners are 

appointed for a term not to exceed 2 

years, but are eligible for reappointment. 

Of the Commissioners: 

(1) One must be an official of the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration; and 

(2) Two must be knowledgeable or 

experienced concerning the Northern 

Pacific halibut fishery; of these, one 

must be a resident of Alaska and the 

other shall be a nonresident of Alaska. 

Of the three commissioners described in 

paragraphs (1) and (2), one must also be 

a voting member of the North Pacific 

Fishery Management Council. 

(3) Commissioners who are not 

Federal employees are not considered to 

be Federal employees except for the 

purposes of injury compensation or tort 

claims liability as provided in section 

8101 et seq. of title 5 and section 2671 

et seq. of title 28. 

In their official IPHC duties, 

Commissioners represent the interests of 

the United States and all of its 

stakeholders in the Pacific halibut 

fishery. These duties require a modest 

amount of travel (typically two or three 

trips per year lasting less than a week), 

and travel expenses are paid by the U.S. 

Department of State. Commissioners 

receive no compensation for their 

services. 

Nomination Process 

NOAA Fisheries is currently 

accepting nominations for two U.S. 

Commissioners for the IPHC who are 

not officials of NOAA. Successful 

nominees will be considered for 

appointment by the President and 

(pending Presidential action) interim 

designation by the Department of State. 

Nomination packages should provide 

details of an individual’s knowledge 

and experience in the Pacific halibut 

fishery. Examples of such knowledge 

and/or experience could include (but 

are not limited to) such activities as: 

Participation in commercial, tribal, 

Community Development Quota (CDQ) 

and/or sport and charterboat halibut 

fishing operations; participation in 

halibut processing operations; and 

participation in Pacific halibut 

management activities. 

Nomination packages should 

document an individual’s qualifications 

and state of residence. Self-nominations 

are acceptable, and current and former 

IPHC Commissioners are eligible for 

reappointment. Re ́sume ́s, curriculum 

vitae, and/or letters of recommendation 

are useful but not required. Nomination 

packages will be evaluated on a case-bycase basis by officials in NOAA and the 

Department of Commerce who are 

familiar with the duties and 

responsibilities of IPHC Commissioners; 

evaluations will consider the aggregate 

of an individual’s prior experience and 

knowledge of the Pacific halibut fishery, 

residency requirements, and any letters 

of recommendation provided. Nominees 

will be notified of their status (including 

rejection or approval) and any need for 

further information once the nomination 

process is complete.
