20 AAC 05.560. Annual renewal of entry permit

(a) Application for annual renewal of an entry permit must be made to the commission on a form provided by the commission. The renewal form must be completed and signed by the permit holder, or by an agent authorized in accordance with 20 AAC 05.1960. The total annual fee for the permit or permits being renewed must be submitted with the application.

(b) An entry permit is forfeited and reverts to the commission if it has not been renewed by December 31 of the second consecutive calendar year after its issuance or last renewal, except as waived by the commission upon demonstration of good cause.

(d) The administrative closure of a specific fishery for the entire season is good cause not to renew an entry permit for that fishery. The commission will, in its discretion, find that a circumstance applicable to all permittees in a fishery that has prevented a substantial number of permittees from participating in that fishery is good cause not to renew an entry permit for that fishery. If good cause exists under this subsection, the commission will waive the payment of fees for that year. A permittee may request a refund of any fees that have already been received by the commission by submitting the permit card with a written request to the commission that specifies the circumstances that prevented the permittee from participating in that fishery. The commission will, in its discretion, require a permittee to submit affidavits or other evidence in support of a request for a refund.

(e) Before the commission will issue an entry permit card in a given year, the annual renewal form submitted to the commission must show the ADF&G number of the vessel on which the card is to be used, and, except when excused for good cause or exempt by law, the vessel so designated must be licensed for that year.
