If you are an IFQ permit holder eligible to use a Hired Master (see above), you must apply to NMFS for approval by submitting the form Application for Crab IFQ Hired Master Permit (Application). The application is available from the Restricted Access Management (RAM) Program at 1-800-304-4846 (option #2), or online at: http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/crab/rat/ram/hiredskipperapp.pdf. You must submit an Application for each combination of individual Master, IFQ permit fished, and each vessel used. Therefore, you will have to submit another Application when you wish to add, delete, or change individuals, IFQ permits, and/or vessels.
