VESSEL
CLEARANCES IN IPHC AREA 4 FOR 2005
As referenced in Section 15 of the 2005 IPHC
regulations, vessels fishing for halibut in IPHC 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/vmsiphc.html)
or by phone at (907) 586-7225. In 2005, clearance regulations
allow a vessel to clear simultaneously for Areas 4C and 4D.
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 and for
documentation purposes, 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.
