SB 347-COMM. FISHING MORATORIA, INCL. AK GULF CHAIR SEATON announced that the final order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 347(RES), "An Act relating to moratoria on entry of new participants or vessels into a commercial fishery; relating to vessel permits for, and the establishment of a moratorium on entry of new vessels into, state Gulf of Alaska groundfish fisheries; and providing for an effective date." CHAIR SEATON reviewed the history of this legislation in this committee, and requested that by the next meeting everything is available in order that a decision could be made. Number 1573 REPRESENTATIVE OGG noted that the information from Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) and Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) has been helpful. However, information regarding how many vessel owners aren't interim-use permit (IUP) owners is necessary. Therefore, he requested that data be available. CHAIR SEATON said that data has been requested and should hopefully be available by the next hearing. He directed the committee to look through the back page of the data where it outlines the unique number of permit holders and the unique number of vessels. [SB 347 was held over.]
