The first order of business was HJR 25 (IMPLEMENTING ALEUTIAN TRADE ACT OF 1990), sponsored by Representative Carl Moses. REPRESENTATIVE MOSES said he introduced HJR 25 to bring the attention of the Coast Guard to the Aleutian Trade Act passed in 1990. Currently, there are proposed regulations to implement the Commercial Fisheries Industry Vessel Safety Act of 1988. There is the tendency to overlook the Aleutian Trade Act. The resolution requests that the exemptions be used that were provided for in the Aleutian Trade Act so that fish tender vessels may keep operating. Representative Moses said the new proposed regulations would put fish tender vessels out of business. The Aleutian Trade Act would allow exemptions that would permit them to operate until 2003. There being no further testimony on the measure, SENATOR KELLY moved and asked unanimous consent to pass HJR 25 out of the Senate Transportation Committee with individual recommendations. Hearing no objection, the motion passed.
