You are encouraged to submit proposals at the earliest possible date through one of three methods. The Board of Fisheries on-line proposal form may be completed at the Boards Support website at http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fisheriesboard.forms. Proposals may also be submitted in hard copy through the proposal comment form that may be obtained at the Boards Support website address above or at any Boards Support office. The completed proposal form must contain a contact telephone number and address. Please print or type the individual's name or organization’s name as appropriate. A fax is acceptable and considered an original. Submissions of proposals by email will not be accepted.

 

All proposals are reviewed by the board's proposal review committee prior to publication. Language that is emotionally charged detracts from the substance of the proposal. It may draw opposition that may not be germane to the element(s) of the proposal and may elicit nonresponsive charges from the public/board members. The proposal review committee reserves the right to edit proposals containing offensive language. Proposals published in the proposal book will be referenced with the appropriate Alaska Administrative Code citation and include a brief description of the action requested.

 

Following publication, proposal booklets will be available to advisory committees and the public for review and comment. Those submitting proposals are encouraged to review the proposal booklet at their earliest convenience to ensure proposals are included and accurately portrayed. Noted errors and omissions should be reported to Boards Support immediately.

 

Responsive proposals received by the proposal deadline will be considered by the Board of Fisheries during the October 2014 through March 2015 meeting schedule.
