(((1) When the director determines that a harvestable amount of salmon appears to be available, but that full-fleet fishing effort has an unacceptable risk of exceeding the available harvest or compromises other specific management objectives, the director may authorize a limited participation fishery in extreme terminal fishing areas in order to provide additional opportunities for net fisheries where they might not otherwise exist. Such a fishery may be authorized for experimental or developmental fisheries, fisheries necessary to refine run size data, fisheries necessary to provide biological information, or in cases where:

(a) Other specific management objectives have been stated for the species and area in question; or

(b) There is a reasonable expectation that foregone opportunity will be claimed and the harvestable surplus cannot be carried forward to the next year of harvest; and

(2) Only licensed commercial salmon fishers may participate in a limited participation fishery. Only one listing is allowed per license. Fishers who wish to have their name placed on a limited participation register must mark the appropriate box on their license renewal application, or so notify the department, in writing, by July 31st. Interested fishers must provide a message phone number at which they may be contacted.

(3) Each year the department will, from the list of interested fishers, use random selection to create a priority list for gillnet fishers and a priority list for purse seine fishers. Priority registers will be available for inspection at the department's Olympia office, or upon written request to the department. Once the priority lists have been created, sale or transfer of the license shall invalidate the receiver from participation in that year's limited participation fishery.))(1) Registration and limited participation salmon net fishery definition: For the purpose of this section, "registration and limited participation salmon net fishery" refers to any of the following commercial gillnet and purse seine fisheries:

(a) Catch Reporting Area 10 pink (odd-years only).

(b) Catch Reporting Area 7B coho.

(d) Catch Reporting Areas 7/7A, 10/11, and 12/12B/12C chum.

(2) The director may authorize a registration and limited participation salmon net fishery when a harvestable number of salmon is determined to be available, but unknown participation or full-fleet participation fishing effort presents risk of:

(a) Exceeding the available harvest; or

(b) Compromising other specific management objectives.

(3) The director may establish a registration and limited participation salmon net fishery for purposes including, but not limited to:

(a) Experimental or developmental fisheries;

(b) Fisheries necessary to refine run size data;

(d) Cases where:

(i) Other specific management objectives have been identified including, but not limited to, the following: Reducing levels of incidental catch of wild salmon stocks and reducing incidental catch of nontarget salmon species originating from regions other than the fishing area;

(ii) There is a reasonable expectation that foregone opportunity will be claimed, and the harvestable surplus cannot be carried forward to the next year of harvest; and

(iii) Full-fleet participation, even with time, space, or gear restrictions, may exceed the harvest goal.

(4) The number of units of each gear type selected to participate in a registration and limited participation salmon net fishery will reflect the most recent ratio of gear types in the full-fleet fishery directed at the species in question, except when conservation concerns, biological data collection needs, or specific management objectives dictate alternative ratios or use of a single gear type.

(5) ((When a limited participation fishery is authorized, the department will contact fishers from the priority register at least twenty-four hours prior to the opening of the fishery. When a fisher cannot be contacted after reasonable effort, the department will select the next name, until the maximum number of allowable units of gear is reached. If not reached, the fisher's name will remain at the priority position, but the fisher may not participate in that limited participation fishery. Agreement to participate, or declining to participate, will remove the fisher from the priority position, and place the name at the bottom of the priority list.

Agreement to participate in an authorized limited participation fisheries will require a department observer on board a participating vessel. An additional permit may be required by a participating vessel to allow for a department observer to complete work associated with biological data collection needs meeting specific management objectives.

(6) Examples of specific management objectives include but are not limited to:

(a) Reducing levels of incidental catch of wild salmon stocks;

(b) Reducing incidental catch of nontarget salmon species originating from regions other than the fishing area; or

(c) Specific recreational emphasis action.))Preseason commercial salmon application for a registration and limited participation salmon net fishery: A person who owns a valid department issued commercial salmon license must apply and register for the fisheries described in subsection (1) of this section by submitting an online preseason commercial salmon application to the department.

(7) In-season commercial salmon application for the registration and limited participation salmon net fishery: After submitting an online preseason commercial salmon application, the license holder, as described in subsection (5) of this section, must complete a weekly in-season commercial salmon application online for each registration and limited participation salmon net fishery in which they wish to participate.

(a) In-season commercial salmon application requirements:

(i) The applicant must have submitted a valid preseason commercial salmon application and be listed on the publicly posted randomly ordered registration list.

(ii) At the time of submitting the in-season commercial salmon application the applicant must possess an "active" commercial salmon license, as defined in (7)(c) of this subsection.

Selected applicants will be moved to the bottom of the randomly ordered registration list for the subsequent management week's fishery.

(iii) Nonselected applicants retain the same position on the randomly ordered registration list as in the previous management week.
