Request for "temporary" reallocation of pink ITQ holdings guidelines for (F)AT area H and (F)AS area B licensed salmon vessels

This form must be completed if you wish to transfer all or a portion of your Fraser River pink holdings to another Area H or Area B vessel.

Instructions:

1. BOTH vessels must have a valid (F)AT Area H or (F)AS Area B licence and all licence fees must be paid prior to the reallocation of any pink holdings.
2. For temporary pink reallocations, only one owner of record or authorized signatory of the licence eligibility holder is required to sign unless otherwise stated. If the vessel owner is a company, the Pacific Fishery Licence Unit must have on record a copy of either a Confirmation of Signing Authorities or an Amendment to Confirmation of Signing Authorities form advising who the signing authorities for the company are.
3. A valid licence amendment must be on record with the Department while the vessel is engaged in fishing.

Reallocation guidelines

1. Upon application, licence eligibility holders will be permitted to make unlimited temporary reallocations of pink ITQ.
2. Pink ITQ may only be transferred between Area H and/or Area B vessels (e.g. Area H to Area H, Area B to Area B, Area H to Area B and Area B to Area H).
3. Only uncaught pink ITQ may be reallocated. Sufficient quota share (%) must be retained to balance all catch to date.
4. Reallocations of pink ITQ for the season will be expressed as a percentage. Pink ITQ may also be transferred in pieces and will not affect the quota share.
5. To transfer the entire Area H quota, the percentage transferred is 0.14706% of the TAC (10% ÷ 68). The 10% is Area H’s allocation of Fraser River pink salmon.
6. To transfer the entire Area B quota, the percentage transferred is 0.49107% of the TAC (82.5% ÷ 168). The 82.5% is Area B’s allocation of Fraser River pink salmon.
7. Temporary reallocations will be for the current year only.
