Title: ●Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Amendment 106 to Allow American Fisheries Act Vessel Replacement 
Abstract: This action allows owners of American Fisheries Act vessels to replace and rebuild American Fisheries Act vessels to improve vessel safety and improve operational efficiencies without limit on the size and horsepower of the replacement or rebuilt vessel. This action also allows the owner of an American Fisheries Act catcher vessel to remove the vessel from an American Fisheries Act vessel cooperative. This action preserves restrictions that prevent American Fisheries Act vessels from expanding fishing effort outside of Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands beyond historical catch levels in the Gulf of Alaska.
