Distribution and pooling of DAS. At the beginning of the fishing year each participating vessel will be allocated DAS identical to the individual baseline established for the vessel by Amendment 13 and subsequently reduced by framework action (FW 42). At any time during the year and subject to Board approval, a Member may request the Manager to redistribute DAS among one or more participating vessels. Vessel size restrictions (10% length, 20% horsepower) do not apply to the redistribution of DAS among sector vessels. The maximum vessel characteristics are limited to the largest baseline of a Sector permit. Internal Sector redistribution will cease after March 1st of a given fishing year in order to provide for administrative action and time to fish the DAS.
