VESSEL CLEARANCES IN AREA 4 FOR
2003
As referenced in Section 15 of the
2003 IPHC regulations, vessels fishing for halibut in Area 4 are
required to clear before fishing and before unloading for each trip,
with the exception of local Bering Sea fishers or vessels with an
operating Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). Full details on the VMS
requirements are available on the NOAA Office for Law Enforcement
website (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ole/Alaska/index.html)
or by phone at (907) 586-7225.
Clearance forms, which are available from fish processors and other
agents, are coded with a unique clearance reference number specific
to the issuing representative and clearance page. In case of
questions regarding specific clearances, vessel operators should
record this number for future reference. The IPHC will use this
coding system to track clearances and vessels. Clearance
responsibility rests with vessel operators
Vessel Clearances shall be obtained
between 0600 and 1800 hours, local time.
