Sector Membership Fees. Prior to each fishing years’ signed sector contract submission to NOAA, the Board will adopt and notify all sector members in writing the sector fees for the upcoming fishing year. The fees will be used to cover sector operations and At-Sea Monitoring (ASM) costs. Members acknowledge that the Board may adopt additional fees or modify current fees during the duration of this agreement if necessary. These fees could include but not limited to sector member fees, landing fees on allocated stocks, landing fees on non-allocated stocks, minimum trip fees, inter-sector lease fees, intra-sector lease fees and/or per trip ASM fees. A member may allow their fish dealer to collect their fees on their behalf, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the member that any fees imposed are paid in a timely manner. The Board reserves the authority to impose late fees on all outstanding balances beyond ninety days.
