(a) The landing
requirements for sablefish in the Aleutian Islands District are specified in
5 AAC 28.640.
(b) After 72 hours following the closure of
any directed groundfish season within the Bering Sea-Aleutian Islands Area, a
vessel that participated in that fishery may not have that species of
groundfish on board unless
(1) that species
has been designated as bycatch for another directed fishery and the amount on
board that vessel is permissible under retained bycatch restrictions specified
in regulation; or
(2) the vessel
has been delayed due to extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the
vessel operator, and the vessel operator has contacted a local representative
of the department no later than 72 hours following the closure of the season
and the representative has granted a reasonable amount of time for the vessel
to reach the port of delivery or processing location; any amount of additional
time shall be determined under the assumption that the vessel departed the
fishing grounds immediately after the closure and proceeded directly to the
port of delivery or processing location.
