	(c)  Economic Dependence. A maximum of 35 points will be awarded an applicant for economic dependence in the Tanner crab pot fishery. Economic dependence points will be awarded only to applicants with a sum of annual catch values for the years 1980 - 1982 totaling at least $500. Economic dependence points will be computed as follows:  
		(1) Relative income dependence. A skipper may claim a maximum of 20 points for relative income dependence upon the fishery according to the steps set out in (A) - (C) of this paragraph and the following point schedule:  
    Income Dependence Percentage                             Points
       at least 40%                                            20
       at least 15% but less than 40%                          10
			(A) For each of the years 1980 - 1982, take separately the applicant's annual catch value and the applicant's annual earnings from occupational income, as defined in 20 AAC 05.697; multiply each figure for each year by the following specified multiplier for that year:  
1980 = .17  
1981 = .33  
1982 = .50  
			(B) Add the three resulting figures for the weighted annual catch value to determine the weighted average catch value. Separately add the figures for the weighted annual occupational income to determine the weighted average occupational income.  
			(C) Divide the weighted average catch value by the sum of the weighted average catch value plus the weighted average occupational income, and multiply the quotient by 100 for the single income dependence percentage.  
		(2) 7 points may be claimed for investment as of January 1, 1984, in a vessel that the applicant used or intended to use in the Tanner crab pot fishery.  
		(3) 8 points may be claimed for ownership, as of January 1, 1984, of 25 or more geared crab pots that the applicant used or intended to use in the Tanner crab pot fishery.
