Potential eligible applicants are notified
of the one-time opportunity to apply for
a charter halibut permit for the 60–day
period from February 4, 2010, through
April 5, 2010. Any applications received
by NMFS after the ending date will be
considered untimely and will be denied.
DATES: An application for a charter

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS
published a final rule implementing a
limited access system for charter vessels
in the guided sport fishery for Pacific
halibut in waters of International Pacific
Halibut Commission Regulatory Areas
2C (Southeast Alaska) and 3A (Central
Gulf of Alaska) in the Federal Register
on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 554). Under
this rule, NMFS will issue a charter
halibut permit to the owner of a
licensed charter fishing business based
on the business’s past participation in
the charter halibut fishery. Section
300.67(h)(1) of the final rule requires
NMFS to specify an application period
for charter halibut permits of no less
than 60 days in the Federal Register,
and to deny any applications received
after the last day of the application
period.
This notice specifies a 60–day
application period of February 4, 2010,
through April 5, 2010. An application
period was referenced in the proposed
rule published on April 21, 2009 (74 FR
18178) and in the final rule published
on January 5, 2010 (75 FR 554). This 60–
day application period is consistent
with the intent of the final rule to give
adequate time for participants in the
charter halibut fisheries in Areas 2C and
3A to review the final rule and prepare
materials necessary for the application
procedure specified at 50 CFR
300.67(h)(3). Beginning on February 1,
2011, all vessels with charter anglers on
board that are catching and retaining

they must obtain an application on the
Internet or request a charter halibut
application from NMFS (see

for charter halibut permits begins at 8
a.m. A.l.t. on February 4, 2010, and ends
at 5 p.m. A.l.t. on April 5, 2010.
Applicants with incomplete
