Alaska Administrative Code › Title 20 - Miscellaneous Boards and Commissions › Chapter 05 - Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission › Article 5 - Issuance of Entry Permits › 20 AAC 05.520 - Evidence of qualification

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) Every applicant
				shall have the burden of establishing his qualifications for an entry permit.
				Specific evidence will be requested on the application form for that purpose. The
				commission may at any time require an applicant to submit additional evidence in
				affidavit or other form relating to his qualifications.
(b) To the extent practicable, the commission
				will provide each applicant with a summary compiled from state records and other
				reliable sources which will indicate, for those years from 1969 to the
				qualification date, those years that the applicant participated in each fishery
				as a gear license holder, the consistency of participation each year, the annual
				catch value of the fishery resource, and vessel ownership, if any. If the
				applicant verifies the information on this summary as correct, the commission
				will, subject to the provision of 20 AAC 05.805(d), accept the information on
				this summary as sufficient evidence of the facts stated. An applicant may contest
				the accuracy of any information included in this summary and may supplement this
				information by establishing additional facts regarding his qualifications with
				other evidence.
(c) An applicant may
				be required to submit copies of, or authorize access to, his state and federal
				income tax returns for the appropriate years, or evidence establishing that he
				was not required to file, or his Fisherman's Annual Information Report, as a
				primary source of evidence in support of his application. Tax returns and related
				information submitted by an applicant are confidential and will not be disclosed
				in any manner without the express consent of the applicant. When a copy of a tax
				return is no longer needed by the commission for the purposes for which it was
				requested, the copy will be destroyed.
(d) Evidence offered by the applicant for an
				entry permit will be accepted by the commission within the following time limits:
(1) Evidence in support of those applications
				which were to be submitted to the commission within the time limitations of
				20 AAC 05.510(a) will be considered by the
				commission if received on or before July 1, 1978, unless the applicant is
				notified otherwise.

				support of those applications which were to be submitted to the commission within
				the time limitations of
