Abstract:
The Crab Rationalization (CR) Program allocates Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands crab resources among harvesters, processors, and coastal communities. The CR Program Arbitration System is a series of steps that harvesters and processors can use to negotiate delivery and price contracts. The System allows unaffiliated Class A individual fishing quota holders to initiate an arbitration proceeding in the event of a dispute to allow an independent third party to provide a review of harvester and processor negotiation positions and provide an independent and binding resolution to issues under dispute. To use the arbitration system a harvester must commit deliveries to a processor and initiate a binding arbitration proceeding in advance of the season opening. This requirement defines delivery terms for shares prior to the season opening. Over time, the relationships among harvesters and processors are expected to solidify, as harvesters and processors adjust their quota shares (QS) and processor quota shares (PQS) holdings to establish long-term relationships.
