(b) During the moratorium, an interim-use permit for the Southeastern Alaska Dungeness crab pot fishery will be issued only to an applicant who meets the minimum eligibility requirements established in 20 AAC 05.1012.

(c) During the moratorium, an interim-use permit for the Southeastern Alaska Dungeness crab ring net fishery will be issued only to an applicant who meets the minimum eligibility requirements established in 20 AAC 05.1014.
