Title: ●Amendment 27 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs 
Abstract: Amendment 27 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) would amend the FMP to allow processors to modify use caps that limit the amount of individual processor quota (IPQ) shares that may be used by persons processing crab. Specifically, Amendment 27 would allow persons holding IPQ shares to process their crab at processing facilities they do not own through contractual arrangements with the facility owners to have their crab custom processed at that facility. Any crab processed under such a custom processing arrangement would not be applied against the IPQ use cap of the facility owners. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the FMP, and other applicable law.
