(A) Skipper participation
points may be claimed for a given season subject to the requirement that the
applicant must have commercially harvested at least 2,000 pounds of sablefish
in the fishery as a skipper. A rebuttable presumption exists that the applicant
was a crewmember and not a skipper for that season if the applicant had only
one day with landings in the fishery and the sablefish poundage from that day's
landings represented less than 15 percent of the total sablefish poundage
delivered from the vessel during that season in the fishery.

participation points for the 1982 - 1984 seasons as shown in the following
schedule: Season Available Points 1984 18 1983 17 1982 16

applicant entitled to some skipper participation points under (B) of this
paragraph may claim points from the following schedule: Season Available Points 1981 15 1980 14 1979 13 1978 12 1977 11 1976 10 1975 9
(2)
Crewmember participation points.A maximum of 15 points will be
awarded to an applicant for crewmember participation. An applicant will not
receive both skipper participation points and crewmember participation points
for the same season.
(A) Crewmember
participation points for a given season may be claimed under (B) of this
paragraph, subject to the requirements that:
(i) the applicant must be entitled to skipper
participation points for 1982, 1983, or 1984; and
(ii) the applicant must have participated on
a vessel from which at least 2,000 pounds of sablefish were commercially
harvested in the fishery in that season.
(B) An applicant may claim three points for
crewmember participation for each season from 1975 through 1984.
(b) Economic Dependence.
(1) Relative income
dependence points and vessel investment points may be claimed under (2) and (3)
of this subsection, respectively, subject to the requirement that the sum of
the applicant's annual catch values for the years 1982 - 1984 is at least
$2,000.
(2)
Relative income
dependence points.
(A) An applicant's
income dependence percentage will be calculated by dividing the sum of the
applicant's annual catch values for the years 1982 - 1984 by the combined sums
of the applicant's annual catch values for the years 1982 - 1984 and the
applicant's occupational income for the years 1982 - 1984, and then multiplying
the quotient by 100.
(B) An
applicant may claim relative income dependence points as shown in the following
schedule: Income Dependence Percentage Points at least 20% 15 at least 10% but less than 20% 10
(3)
Vessel investment points.An applicant may claim 15 points for
investment, as of January 1, 1985, in a vessel that the applicant used or
intended to use in the Southern Southeast Inside sablefish pot
