Section 5.34.950. District registration.  


Latest version.
  • 	(a)  Vessel and gear registered for Registration Area Q must also be registered for the Northern District before fishing in that district. Vessels and gear registered for the Northern District may not be used to fish in any other district. The registration district shall be indicated on the inspection certificate.  
    	(b)  Vessel and gear district registration may be voided or changed by the vessel owner or operator by completing a form provided by a local representative of the department. In addition, the representative at Dutch Harbor may authorize changes of district registration over the radio if radio contact is made by the vessel operator, provided the local representative determines that to do so would be consistent with sound enforcement policy.  
    	(c)  No vessel licensed as a commercial fishing vessel may have any unprocessed king crab on board within the Northern District in Registration Area Q unless the vessel is registered for that district.  
    	(d)  A vessel may be used for the taking of king crab within the Northern District only if it is currently registered for the district and is validly registered for Area Q.  
    	(e)  The commissioner may suspend and reinstate any of the requirements of this section if he finds that to do so would be in the public interest.
