If the PZJA sets the TAC as described in subsection (3), the amount of that species retained by a TSPF boat licence or TSPF Treaty endorsement holder must not exceed the limit determined by reference to that holder's proportion of the TAE.
    (5) Before determining a TAC, the PZJA:
    (a) will consult the TSPMAC and consider the TSPMAC's views; and
    (b) may consult and consider the views of interested persons.
    (6) The PZJA may determine a specific TAC for particular parts of the area of the fishery.
    (7) If the PZJA determines a TAC for a particular part of the fishery, it may determine TACs for each TSPF boat licence and TSPF Treaty endorsement holder for that part of the fishery.
    (8) A determination of TAC must specify:
    (a) the TAC, expressed in:
    (i) whole weight; or
    (ii) other weight, as specified in the determination; and
    (b) the period for which the TAC applies; and
         (c)                  if the TAC applies only to a part of the area of the fishery – that part.
    (9) A determination under this section must be published on the PZJA website and, if practicable, notified to all holders of TSPF boat licences and TSPF Treaty endorsements.

2.8 Changing the total allowable catch (TAC)
    (1) The PZJA may by determination increase the TAC determined under section 2.7 after the start of a fishing season if it is satisfied that there will be no substantial increase in the impact of fishing on bycatch species or traditional fishing species as a result of the increase.
    (2) The determination increasing the TAC must:
         (a) set out the new TAC, and the period for which it remains in force; and
         (b) set out the reasons for the increase; and
         (c) be published on the PZJA website and, if practicable, notified to all holders of TSPF boat licences and TSPF Treaty endorsements.
    (3) The PZJA may by emergency determination reduce the TAC determined under section 2.7 after the start of a fishing season if it is satisfied that:
         (a) there exists a significant threat to the fishery's resources or to a fish or fish habitat; and
         (b) urgent action needs to be taken to deal with the threat.
    (4) The emergency determination must:
         (a) set out the nature of the emergency; and
         (b) set out the amended TAC, and the period for which it remains in force; and
         (c) be published on the PZJA website and, if practicable, notified to all holders of TSPF boat licences and TSPF Treaty endorsements.
    (5) The PZJA will revoke the emergency determination reducing the TAC as soon as practicable after it is satisfied that the emergency no longer exists.
