Allocation of Pollock TAC Under the American Fisheries Act AFA
Section 679.20a5iA requires that the BS pollock TAC be apportioned as a DFA, after subtracting 10 percent for the CDQ program and 4 percent for the ICA, as follows: 50 percent to the inshore sector, 40 percent to the catcher/processor CP sector, and 10
percent to the mothership sector. In the BS, 45 percent of the DFA is allocated to the A season January 20June 10, and 55 percent of the DFA is allocated to the B season June 10November 1
679.20a5iB1 and 679.23e2. The AI directed pollock fishery allocation to the Aleut Corporation is the amount of pollock TAC remaining in the AI after subtracting 1,900 mt for the CDQ DFA
10 percent and 2,500 mt for the ICA
679.20a5iiiB2. In the AI, the total A season apportionment of the TAC including the AI directed fishery allocation, the CDQ DFA, and the ICA
may equal up to 40 percent of the ABC
for AI pollock, and the remainder of the TAC is allocated to the B season
679.20a5iiiB3. Tables 4 and 5
list these 2021 and 2022 amounts.
Section 679.20a5iiiB6 sets harvest limits for pollock in the A
season January 20 to June 10 in Areas 543, 542, and 541. In Area 543, the A
season pollock harvest limit is no more than 5 percent of the AI pollock ABC.
In Area 542, the A season pollock harvest limit is no more than 15 percent of the AI pollock ABC. In Area 541, the A season pollock harvest limit is no more than 30 percent of the AI pollock ABC.
Section 679.20a5iA4 also includes several specific requirements regarding BS pollock allocations. First, it requires that 8.5 percent of the pollock allocated to the CP sector be available for harvest by AFA catcher vessels CVs with CP sector endorsements, unless the Regional Administrator receives a cooperative contract that allows for the distribution of harvest among AFA CPs and AFA
CVs in a manner agreed to by all members. Second, AFA CPs not listed in the AFA are limited to harvesting not
more than 0.5 percent of the pollock allocated to the CP sector. Tables 4 and 5 list the 2021 and 2022 allocations of pollock TAC. Table 20 lists the AFA CP
prohibited species sideboard limits, and Tables 21 and 22 list the AFA CV
groundfish and prohibited species sideboard limits. The tables for the pollock allocations to the BS inshore pollock cooperatives and open access sector will be posted on the Alaska Region website at https
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/alaska/
sustainable-fisheries/alaska-groundfishfisheries-management.
Tables 4 and 5 also list seasonal apportionments of pollock and harvest limits within the Steller Sea Lion Conservation Area SCA. The harvest of pollock within the SCA, as defined at 679.22a7vii, is limited to no more than 28 percent of the annual pollock DFA before 12:00 noon, April 1, as provided in 679.20a5iC. The A
season pollock SCA harvest limit will be apportioned to each sector in proportion to each sectors allocated percentage of the DFA.
