Operation Type endorsements are: SFP (Stationary Floating Processor); CPR (catcher-processor); and CAT (catcher vessel). This permit has requirements for VMS and logbook reporting.

      All PQS issued by Quota region (except for amounts withheld pending additional information from applicants subject to Right of First Refusal (ROFR) provisions); number of Quota units; PQS/IPQ use area boundary area (if subject to ROFR); PQS/IPQ use area boundary (if subject to cooling-off provisions); and Quota holder’s name and business mailing address.

    Registered Crab Receiver (RCR) Permit

      An annual RCR permit is required for the rationalized crab fisheries (CR crab, includes IFQ/IPQ fisheries; CDQ fisheries except Norton Sound king crab; and the golden king crab allocation to Adak). This permit is required to receive any unprocessed crab from the harvester; the owner/operator of a vessel that processes CR crab at sea, any person holding IPQ, and any person that is required to submit a Departure Report. For shoreside operations, an RCR permit is required for each shore facility. RCRs must use the eLandings system to report unprocessed crab landings by catcher vessels or weekly unprocessed crab harvest activity for catcher/processors.
