SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

may issue new permits for the American

class) with the earliest documented 

participation in the fishery on a Class A 

vessel. Applicants with earliest 

documented participation in Classes B, 

C, and D, in that order, will get lower 

priority. If there is a tie in priority, the

higher priority.
