Alaska Statutes.

Title 16. Fish and Game

Chapter 43. Regulation of Entry Into Alaska Commercial Fisheries

Section 860. Suspension.

AS 16.43.860. Suspension.

(a) A permit holder whose commercial salmon fishing privileges for a salmon fishery are suspended under AS 16.43.850 - 16.43.895 may not obtain an entry permit or interim-use permit for that salmon fishery during the period of the suspension of the privileges. During the period for which the permit holder's privilege to obtain an entry permit or interim-use permit for a salmon fishery is suspended under this section, the commission may not issue a permit card to the permit holder for that fishery.

(b) A permit holder whose privilege of obtaining a commercial fishing permit for a salmon fishery is suspended under AS 16.43.850 - 16.43.895 may not

(1) engage in the salmon fishery under a crewmember license; or

(2) lease or rent the permit holder's interest in a boat to another person if the boat would be used in the salmon fishery for which the permit holder's fishing privileges are suspended.

(c) If, during the period for which a permit holder's commercial fishing privileges for a salmon fishery are suspended, the commission establishes a limited entry system for the salmon fishery, the permit holder shall be eligible to obtain an entry permit for that fishery to the extent that the permit holder qualifies for the entry permit under regulations adopted by the commission. If the permit holder qualifies for an entry permit for the fishery, the commission shall withhold issuance of the entry permit until the period of the suspension imposed under AS 16.43.850 - 16.43.895 has expired.

(d) The commission may not transfer a commercial fishing permit for a salmon fishery under an emergency transfer under AS 16.43.180 if, at the time of the application for the emergency transfer, the permit holder's commercial salmon fishing privileges for the salmon fishery have been suspended.
