				consistent participation for each joint operator who is an applicant. The
				following will be used to make the allocations and determine points:
(1) the pounds landed allocated to each
				individual who is party to the joint operation will be based upon ADF&G catch
				records (fish tickets), recorded under each applicant's interim-use permit,
				unless it is demonstrated those records do not accurately reflect the pounds
				landed;
(2) if the commission finds

				each joint operator will not exceed the total pounds landed from the
				vessel;
(3) after the pounds landed
				have been allocated among the joint operators in accordance with (1) and (2) of
				this subsection, past participation and consistent participation points will be

(A) past participation will be determined in
				accordance with
				20 AAC 05.768(a),

(1) a permit will be
				restricted to one of the following tier-levels:
Tier Level Maximum Pots The Permit Holder Can Use A 300 pots or
				  100% of the board's maximum, whichever is less B 225 pots or 75% of the board's

(2) tier-level pot restrictions placed on
				limited entry permits at initial issuance will remain with the permit
				thereafter.

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) To be eligible to
				apply for an entry permit in the Prince William Sound sablefish fixed gear, pot
				gear, or net gear fisheries, an individual must have legally harvested the
				fishery resource while participating in the relevant fishery as a holder of an
				interim-use permit issued under
				AS
				16.43.210 during at least one of the years 1991
				- 1994.
(b) If two or more
				individuals acted as joint operators on the same vessel during a season, the
				commission will allocate the joint operation's pounds landed from that vessel
				among the joint operators, regardless of whether all joint operators apply for an
				entry permit, for the purposes of determining past participation for each joint
				operator who is an applicant. The following will be used to make the allocations
				and determine points:
(1) the pounds landed
				allocated to each individual who is party to the joint operation will be based
				upon ADF&G catch records (fish tickets), recorded under each applicant's
				interim-use permit, unless it is demonstrated those records do not accurately
				reflect the pounds landed;
(2) if the
				commission finds the actual distributions of a joint operation's pounds landed
				among the joint operators differed from that shown on ADF&G catch records
				(fish tickets), the commission will determine each joint operator's share of the
				operation's pounds landed based on the available evidence; the sum of the pounds
				landed allocated to each joint operator will not exceed the total pounds landed
				from the vessel;
(3) after the pounds
				landed have been allocated among the joint operators in accordance with (1) and
				(2) of this subsection, past participation points will be determined for each
				joint operator in accordance with
				20 AAC 05.782.

(a)
				Interim-use permits and entry permits issued for the Prince William Sound fixed
				gear, pot gear, and net gear sablefish fisheries will restrict the maximum
				overall length of a vessel that a permit holder can use. These restrictions
				placed upon a permit for a particular Prince William Sound sablefish fishery will
				be based upon the past participation of the applicant in that fishery before the
				qualification date.
(1) restrictions placed
				upon a permit for a particular Prince William Sound sablefish fishery will be
				based upon the overall length of the vessel used by the applicant to legally
				harvest sablefish in the fishery as an interim-use permit holder before the
				qualification date;
(2) if the
				applicant used more than one vessel to legally harvest sablefish in the fishery
				as an interim-use permit holder before the qualification date, the restriction
				placed upon the applicant's permit will be based upon the longest overall length
				of any of the vessels used by the applicant;
(3) notwithstanding (b) of this section, if the
				vessel used in the fishery to legally harvest sablefish was sunk or destroyed and
				a replacement vessel was acquired before the commission proposed limited entry
				for the fishery on September 1, 1995, the applicant's permit will be based upon
				the overall length of the replacement vessel;
Vessel Maximum Overall Length of the Vessel the Per-Categorymit
				  Holder May Use in the Fishery A 90 Feet B 60 Feet C 50 Feet D 35
				  Feet
(4) a permit will
