  CHAIRMAN CARL MOSES, called the meeting to order at 9:18                     
  a.m. and stated HB 230 would be heard.  He brought up the                    
  proposed CSHB 230 (FSH) that would eliminate the section of                  
  HB 230 which would have removed the cap on the annual permit                 
  fees.  He said the remainder of HB 230 pertained to annual                   
  fishing permit fees.                                                         
                                                                               
  CHAIRMAN MOSES said the committee had taken the                              
  recommendations of the Commercial Fishing Entry Commission                   
  to charge by boat length rather than gross tonnage.

  JERRY MCCUNE, PRESIDENT, UNITED FISHERMEN OF ALASKA (UFA),                   
  felt HB 230 was a reasonable approach and the UFA was in                     
  support of the bill.
