Public Law 107–206 and 16 U.S.C. 1861a (b)–(e); except

the Secretary shall publish a public notice in the Federal
Register and issue an invitation to bid for reduction pay-
ments that specifies the contractual terms and conditions
156
HJ 2 EAS
under which bids shall he made and accepted under this
section; except that section 144(d)(1)(K)(3) of title I, divi-
sion B of Public Law 106–554 shall apply to the program
implemented by this section.
(b) A reduction fishery is eligible for capacity reduc-
tion under the program implemented under this section; ex-
cept that no vessel harvesting and processing whiting in the
catcher-processors sector (section 19 660.323(a)(4)(A) of
title 50, Code of Federal Regulations) may participate in
any capacity reduction referendum or industry fee estab-
lished under this section.
(c) A referendum on the industry fee system shall occur
after bids have been submitted, and such bids have been ac-
cepted by the Secretary, as follows: members of the reduction
fishery, and persons who have been issued Washington, Or-
egon, or California Dungeness crab and Pink shrimp per-
mits, shall be eligible to vote in the referendum to approve
an industry fee system; referendum votes cast in each fish-
ery shall be weighted in proportion to the debt obligation

votes cast in favor of the proposed system constitute a sim-
ple majority of the participants voting; except that notwith-

retary shall not prepare or publish proposed or final regula-
157
HJ 2 EAS
tions for the implementation of the program under this sec-
tion before the referendum is conducted.
(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to pro-
hibit the Pacific Fishery Management Council from recom-
mending, or the Secretary from approving, changes to any
fishery management plan, in accordance with applicable
law; or the Secretary from promulgating regulations (in-
cluding regulations governing this program), after an in-
dustry fee system has been approved by the reduction fish-
ery.
(e) The Secretary shall determine, and state in the
public notice published under paragraph (a), all program
implementation aspects the Secretary deems relevant.
(f) Any bid submitted in response to the invitation to
bid issued by the Secretary under this section shall be irrev-

that ranks each bid in accordance with this paragraph and
with additional criteria, if any, established by the Sec-
retary: for each bid from a qualified bidder that meets the
bidding requirements in the public notice or the invitation
to bid, the Secretary shall determine a bid score by dividing
the bid’s dollar amount by the average annual total ex-vessel
dollar value of landings of Pacific groundfish, Dungeness
crab, and Pink shrimp based on the 3 highest total annual
revenues earned from such stocks that the bidder’s reduction
158
HJ 2 EAS
vessel landed during 1998, 1999, 2000, or 2001. For pur-
poses of this paragraph, the term ‘‘total annual revenue’’
means the revenue earned in a single year from such stocks.
The Secretary shall accept each qualified bid in rank order
of bid score from the lowest to the highest until acceptance
of the next qualified bid with the next lowest bid score would
cause the reduction cost to exceed the reduction loan’s max-
imum amount. Acceptance of a bid by the Secretary shall
create a binding reduction contract between the United
States and the person whose bid is accepted, the perform-
ance of which shall be subject only to the conclusion of a
successful referendum, except that a person whose bid is ac-
cepted by the Secretary under this section shall relinquish
all permits in the reduction fishery and any Dungeness
crab and Pink shrimp permits issued by Washington, Or-
egon, or California; except that the Secretary shall revoke
the Pacific groundfish permit, as well as all Federal fishery
licenses, fishery permits, area, and species endorsements,
and any other fishery privileges issued to a vessel or vessels
(or to persons on the basis of their operation or ownership
of that vessel or vessels) removed under the program.
(g) The Secretary shall establish separate reduction
loan sub-amounts and repayment fees for fish sellers in the
reduction fishery and for fish sellers in each of the fee-share
fisheries by dividing the total ex-vessel dollar value during
159
HJ 2 EAS
the bid scoring period of all reduction vessel landings from
the reduction fishery and from each of the fee-share fisheries
by the total such value of all such landings for all such fish-
eries; and multiplying the reduction loan amount by each
of the quotients resulting from each of the divisions above.
Each of the resulting products shall be the reduction loan
sub-amount for the reduction fishery and for each of the
fee-share fisheries to which each of such products pertains;
except that, each fish seller in the reduction fishery and in
each of the fee-share fisheries shall pay the fees required by
the reduction loan sub-amounts allocated to it under this
paragraph; except that, the Secretary may enter into agree-
ments with Washington, Oregon, and California to collect
any fees established under this paragraph.
(h) Notwithstanding 46 U.S.C. App. 1279(b)(4), the
reduction loan’s term shall not be less than 30 years.
(i) It is the sense of the Congress that the States of
Washington, Oregon, and California should revoke all relin-
quishment permits in each of the fee-share fisheries imme-
diately after reduction payment, and otherwise to imple-
ment appropriate State fisheries management and con-
servation provisions in each of the fee-share fisheries that
establishes a program that meets the requirements of 16
U.S.C. 141861a(b)(1)(B) as if it were applicable to fee-
share fisheries.
160
