OAR 635-005-0405
Requirement for Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit

(1) It is unlawful to take, land or possess Dungeness crab from the ocean Dungeness crab fishery without first obtaining an Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit issued pursuant to ORS 508.931 (Eligibility for permit) or 508.941 (Review of eligibility determinations). An Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit is not required for vessels that are engaged solely in setting gear for a permitted vessel and which do not retrieve, retain or possess Dungeness crab.
(2) It is unlawful for a wholesaler, canner, or buyer to buy or receive Dungeness crab taken in the ocean Dungeness crab fishery from a vessel for which the permit required by this rule has not been issued.
(3) If the Commission establishes a vessel crab pot limitation or allocation system beyond the 2002-03 ocean Dungeness crab season, August 14, 2001 is the control date for eligibility criteria related to past participation in the ocean fishery.
(4) A Single Delivery License shall not be substituted for an Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit. Once a vessel has obtained an Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit, Dungeness crab may be landed by the vessel using a combination of an Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit and a Single Delivery License in lieu of a commercial fishing and boat license. However, crab may not be landed more than twice in any one ocean Dungeness crab fishing season using Single Delivery Licenses.
(5) Effective December 1, 2006, the amount of Dungeness crab gear allocated to a permit required under section (1) above will be determined as follows:
(a) The allocation will be based on documented landings of ocean Dungeness crab into Oregon, Washington (excluding landings from the Puget Sound Fishery), or California, using valid Oregon fish receiving tickets, or equivalent valid documents from the states of Washington or California, from December 1, 1995 through August 14, 2001;
(b) The Dungeness crab gear allocation will be the highest number of pots and rings in aggregate the vessel qualifies for during the six qualifying seasons, December 1 of one year through September 15 of the next year (except through August 14, in 2001);
(c) A Dungeness crab gear allocation of 200 shall be assigned to a permit with landings less than 15,020 pounds in the 1995 to 1996 season, and 4,010 pounds in the 1996 to 1997 season, and 5,170 pounds in the 1997 to 1998 season, and 7,083 pounds in the 1998 to 1999 season, and 13,160 pounds in the 1999 to 2000 season, and 8,940 pounds in the 2000 to 2001 season;
(d) A Dungeness crab gear allocation of 300 shall be assigned to a permit with minimum landings of 15,020 pounds in the 1995 to 1996 season, or 4,010 pounds in the 1996 to 1997 season, or 5,170 pounds in the 1997 to 1998 season, or 7,083 pounds in the 1998 to 1999 season, or 13,160 pounds in the 1999 to 2000 season, or 8,940 pounds in the 2000 to 2001 season; and
(e) A Dungeness crab gear allocation of 500 shall be assigned to a permit with minimum landings of 89,020 pounds in the 1995 to 1996 season, or 35,180 pounds in the 1996 to 1997 season, or 39,350 pounds in the 1997 to 1998 season, or 49,450 pounds in the 1998 to 1999 season, or 78,400 pounds in the 1999 to 2000 season, or 37,030 pounds in the 2000 to 2001 season.
(6) The Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit required by section (1) of this rule is in addition to and not in lieu of the commercial fishing and boat license required by ORS 508.235 (Commercial fishing license) and ORS 508.260 (Boat license).
(7) No vessel may hold more than one Ocean Dungeness Crab Permit at any one time.
(8) Unless otherwise provided, Ocean Dungeness Crab Permits must be purchased by December 31 of the year the permit is sought for renewal.
(9) Applications for Ocean Dungeness Crab Permits shall be in such form and contain such information as the Department may prescribe. Proof of length of a vessel may be required at the time of application.
(10) Notwithstanding section (5) of this rule, effective for calendar years 2021 through 2023, from May 1 through August 14 the amount of Dungeness crab gear allocated to a permit required under section (1) of this rule shall be reduced to 80 percent of the amount allocated under section (5) of this rule. A permit assigned a Dungeness crab gear allocation per section (5) of this rule of:
(a) 200 shall be assigned a Dungeness crab gear allocation of 160;
(b) 300 shall be assigned a Dungeness crab gear allocation of 240; or
(c) 500 shall be assigned a Dungeness crab gear allocation of 400.
