APPLICATION FOR INTER-COOPERATIVE
TRANSFER OF AMENDMENT 80 COOPERATIVE QUOTA (CQ)
In order for an inter-cooperative transfer to be approved, both parties must be already established and
recognized by NMFS as a cooperative. NMFS will notify the transferor and transferee once the application has
been received and approved. A transfer of CQ is not effective until approved by NMFS.
An Amendment 80 cooperative may transfer all or part of its CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative.
Amendment 80 cooperatives may transfer CQ during a calendar year with the following restrictions:
◆ An Amendment 80 cooperative may only transfer CQ to another Amendment 80 cooperative;
◆ An Amendment 80 cooperative may only receive CQ from another Amendment 80 cooperative;
◆ An Amendment 80 cooperative receiving Amendment 80 species CQ by transfer must assign that
Amendment 80 species CQ to a member(s) of the Amendment 80 cooperative for the purposes of use
caps calculation as established under § 679.92(a).
This application cannot be processed or approved unless all parties to the proposed transfer (including the
proposed transferor, the proposed transferee, and the receiving Qualifying Member) have met all the
requirements and conditions of the Amendment 80 Program.
Any person who held an Amendment 80 CQ permit during a calendar year must submit to NMFS an Annual
Trawl Catcher/Processor Economic Data Report (EDR) for that calendar year for each Amendment 80 CQ
permit held by that person (see § 679.94).
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC) has been designated by NMFS to be the Data Collection
Agent for the Amendment 80 EDR program. PSMFC mails EDR announcements and filing instructions to
Amendment 80 QS permit holders by April 1. You may also use the web based EDR form or download the EDR
form in fillable PDF format. To request that a printed EDR be mailed to you, please call 1-877-741-8913, or
email your request to edr@psmfc.org.
EDR forms are available on the NMFS Alaska Region Web site at
http://www.alaskafisheries.noaa.gov.
Deadline: A completed EDR must be received by NMFS no later than 1700 hours A.l.t. on June 1 of the year
following the calendar year during which the Amendment 80 CQ permit was held, or if sent by U.S. mail,
postmarked by that date.
