and consider the views of, SEMAC and SquidRAG; and

Note 1   AFMA may determine the fishing capacity permitted for the fishery — see paragraph 17 (6) (aa) of the Act.

Note 2   A determination under this section is a legislative instrument — see subsection 17 (6B) of the Act and paragraph 6 (d) of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003.

12 Number of standard machines allocated to SFRs

 (1) The number of standard squid jigging machines allocated to a gear SFR for a fishing year is worked out by dividing the TAE for the fishing year by the total number of gear SFRs in force at the start of the fishing year.

 (2) For subsection (1), the total number of gear SFRs for the fishery in force at the start of a fishing year is taken to include any gear SFRs that, at that time, are suspended under subsection 38 (1) or (3), or paragraph 98 (3) (d), of the Act.

Note   See section 15 for the number of squid jigging machines that the holder, or a person acting on behalf of the holder, of a gear SFR is allowed to use.

13 Notice to owners of SFRs

  Before the start of each fishing year, AFMA must give to each gear SFR owner a notice setting out:
 (a) the TAE for the fishery for the fishing year; and
 (b) the number of gear SFRs held by the owner; and
 (c) in relation to each gear SFR held by the owner:
 (i) the number of standard squid jigging machines allocated to the SFR for the fishing year; and
 (ii) the name of the nominated boat for the SFR.

14 Non‑standard machines

 (1) The holder of a gear SFR or gear SFRs who intends to use a non‑standard squid jigging machine in a fishing year may apply to AFMA for a decision about the number of those machines that are taken to be allocated to the gear SFR or gear SFRs for the fishing year.

Note   See section 15 for the number of squid jigging machines that the holder, or a person acting on behalf of the holder, of a gear SFR is allowed to use.

 (2) The number of non‑standard squid jigging machines of a particular type that are taken to be allocated to a gear SFR or gear SFRs for a fishing year must be worked out using the formula:
where:
number of SFRs is the number of gear SFRs held by the applicant.
number of standard machines is the number of standard squid jigging machines allocated, under section 12, to a gear SFR for the fishing year.
