Commercial Fishing / Alaska Board of Fisheries to Meet in Anchorage, January 31–February 13, 2014 on

« Last post by mudbrook on January 04, 2014, 05:36:48 PM »

Alaska Board of Fisheries to Meet in Anchorage, January 31–February 13, 2014 on Upper Cook Inlet Finfish

The Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) will meet January 31–February 13, 2014 at the Egan Civic and Convention Center, 555 W. 5th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska. During this fourteen day public meeting, the board will meet to consider 236 proposals regarding the Upper Cook Inlet region submitted by the general public, fishing organizations, local Fish and Game Advisory Committees, and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

In addition to submitting written public comments, the board invites the public to give oral public testimony during the meeting beginning January 31. Any person intending to testify must sign up at the meeting site at the Egan Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage. The tentative deadline for signing up is 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 1. Public testimony will continue until members of the public who have signed up before the deadline and who are present have been given an opportunity to testify.

All portions of the meeting are open to the public and a live audio stream is intended to be available on the Board of Fisheries website at www.boardoffisheries.adfg.alaska.gov. Documents submitted to the board are intended to be posted online throughout the meeting. Copies of advanced meeting materials, including the agenda and roadmap, are available from Boards Support Section, 907-465-4110, or online at: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fisheriesboard.meetinginfo.

The board encourages the public to submit written comments on specific proposals and is accepting on time public comment until January 17. After January 17, written public comments are limited to 10 single-sided or 5 double-sided pages in length from any one individual or group. These comments are recorded as record copies (RC) and inserted in board member workbooks at the beginning of the meeting, and accepted until the board begins deliberation of proposals.

Once proposal deliberations begin, the board will ONLY accept written public comments not more than five single-sided pages, or the equivalent double-sided pages. The board may relax this requirement if specific information is requested by the board requiring more pages than allowed under this standard. See http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=process.comments for details on public comment.

During the meeting, written public comments from any one individual or group may be submitted by hand delivery at any time if 27 copies are provided. As a practical matter, comments submitted after the board begins deliberations on relevant proposals are likely to receive less consideration than comments submitted earlier. Individuals not in attendance can submit written comments by fax to (907) 465-6094.

Alaska Board of Fisheries

THE ALASKA BOARD OF FISHERIES CALLS FOR PROPOSED CHANGES

IN THE SUBSISTENCE, PERSONAL USE, SPORT, GUIDED SPORT, AND COMMERCIAL FISHING REGULATIONS FOR THE

The Alaska Board of Fisheries (board) is accepting proposed changes to the subsistence, personal use, sport, guided sport, and commercial finfish regulations for the Prince William Sound and Upper Copper/Upper Susitna, and Southeast and Yakutat finfish management areas. Finfish includes salmon, herring, trout, and groundfish.

In addition, the board is accepting proposed changes to the subsistence, personal use, sport, guided sport, and commercial shellfish regulations for the Southeast and Yakutat crab (King, Tanner, Dungeness), shrimp, and miscellaneous shellfish, and Statewide (except Southeast and Yakutat) Dungeness crab, shrimp, and miscellaneous shellfish areas.

To ensure that the proposal booklets are distributed well in advance of the board meetings and the fishing season, the board has set 5:00 p.m., Thursday, April 10, 2014, as the proposal deadline.

Proposals may be submitted online, by mail or fax, or:

Online: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fisheriesboard.forms

Mail: ADF&G, Boards Support Section

P.O. Box 115526

Juneau, AK 99811-5526

Fax: (907) 465-6094

Proposals must be received by the 5:00 p.m. Thursday, April 10, 2014 deadline at the Boards Support Section office in Juneau. A postmark is NOT sufficient for timely receipt.

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.

For more information, please contact the Alaska Board of Fisheries Executive Director at (907) 465-4110.
