Sec.  660.338  Limited entry permits-small fleet.

    (a) Small limited entry fisheries fleets that are controlled by a 
local government, are in existence as of July 11, 1991, and have 
negligible impacts on the groundfish resource, may be certified as 
consistent with the goals and objectives of the limited entry program 
and incorporated into the limited entry fishery. Permits issued under 
this subsection will be issued in accordance with the standards and 
procedures set out in the PCGFMP and will carry the rights explained 
therein.
    (b) A permit issued under this section may be registered only to 
another vessel that will continue to operate in the same certified small 
fleet, provided that the total number of vessels in the fleet does not 
increase. A vessel may not use a small fleet limited entry permit for 
participation in the limited entry fishery outside of authorized 
activities of the small fleet for which that permit and vessel have been 
designated.
