in order to fit out. In such event, regular traveling time must be added.

4. There will be no reduction in the regular layup between trips in the event the vessel is forced to come into port or plant early with a partial trip of halibut due to a breakdown. If the breakdown holds the vessel in port longer than the regular layup period, days in excess shall be deducted from the next regular layup of the vessel concerned. THERE SHALL BE NO OTHER EXEMPTIONS. 5. There shall be NO EXEMPTIONS from the regular layup period on account of the Area 2 season closure being announced by the International Halibut Commission.

6. Vessels participating in the Area 2 second season may fish the allotted number of days without layup, otherwise the layup program will remain effective which means there will be no quick turn arounds to enable Area 3 vessels to participate and all vessels going out in the second season of Area 2 will have to complete 8 day's layup before proceeding to Area 3.

7. Any vessel which operates in Area 3B during the period from April 1 to May 4 shall be exempted from layup during the period providing such vessel lands its fish not later than May 6. At the end of the Area 3A fishing season, the layup program shall end for vessels clearing for Area 3B. Termination of layup shall take effect 8 days prior to the closure date of Area 3A and NOT upon announcement of closure by the Commission. This rule was adopted in compliance with a special request from the International Halibut Commission.

8. Crew members shall be required to take their 8-day rest period between trips and shall not be permitted to quit a vessel for the sole purpose of avoiding the 8-day rest provision. 9. Vessels and camp boats using longline gear for halibut shall not be permitted to change over to fishing for other species or use another type of gear during the layup or camp closures.

10. Penalty for leaving early: Any vessel which leaves from any port or plant ahead of its scheduled departure time as laid out in the rules shall have one day's layup time added to the next layup period for each hour of the violation. Refusal to comply with the penalty

will place the vessels on the unfair list and the crew will be suspended.

11. Halibut vessels, planning to fish Area 3 on their next trip, may take advance layup in their home ports with a compensating deduction of layup on the following Area 3 trip, providing such following trip is landed in Alaska or in a northern British Columbia port other than the vessel's home port. In such cases the vessel may layup 12 days in home port and may after the following trip, have the layup away from home port reduced to 4 days. It shall be understood this will only apply in respect to advance layup and there shall be no deferred layup permitted.

RULES GOVERNING "CAMP BOATS" DEFINITION: "Camp boat" is any one- or twoman halibut boat which makes delivery of halibut at camps.

1. Only one- or two-man halibut boats may deliver at camps, scows, or packers.

2. Once a one- or two-man halibut vessel makes delivery at a camp, scow, or packer, it is classified as a camp boat and must then make all deliveries at camps, scows, or packers, and is not allowed to deliver at ports or plants. 3. Conversely, any one- or two-man boat which delivers at a port or plant shall be classified as a halibut vessel and must NOT BE ALLOWED to deliver to camps, scows, or pack

*It is very doubtful that the season will go beyond three fishing periods.

6. There will be NO EXEMPTIONS from the closed periods at the camps on account of the Area 2 season closure being announced by the International Halibut Commission. 7. Camp boats and vessels using longline gear for halibut shall not be permitted to change over to fishing for other species or use another type of gear during the layup or camp closures.

8. Camp boats which attempt delivery during closed periods shall turn over the proceeds to the Halibut Curtailment Fund. Refusal to comply with this penalty will place the boat on the permanent unfair list. Union members will refuse to deliver halibut to any camp which accept halibut from any boat or crew on the unfair list.

9. One- and two-man camp boats may land halibut at Butedale and Namu during the 12-day or 10-day open seasons but shall not be allowed to deliver halibut at Massett, Butedale and Namu during the 8-day camp closed sea

sons.

RULES GOVERNING SALMON TROLLERS 1. Ice packer trollers landing trips at ports or plants shall be allowed to deliver 3,000 pounds of halibut in any trip without being subject to any layup time. In the event more than 3,000 pounds of halibut are landed in any one trip, the vessel shall be subject to the 8day layup unless such vessel had less than 50 percent halibut in such trip. The basic 3,000 pounds exemption shall apply to one trip in any 7-day period. If a troller lands between 2,000 and 3,000 pounds in a single trip and then lands over 2,000 pounds before the 7 days have elapsed, such vessel shall then be subject to the regular 8-day layup. 2. The day boat troll fleet delivering halibut at camps shall observe the same open and closed periods at the camps in respect to landing halibut as are applied to the one- and two-man halibut boats fishing at the camps, always provided that this ruling shall in no way affect their normal salmon trolling operations.

3. In the event ice packer trollers land halibut at camps during the first open period, they shall be expected to cease taking halibut during the 8-day closed period but may continue to troll for salmon. In order to ensure compliance with this ruling, no ice packer troller shall be permitted to land halibut during the second open period at the camps until the sixth day of such second open period. In the event any ice packer troller has been in camp during the last two days of the closed period and is cleared with the camp committee, such boat can land halibut at the camp any time during the camp open period. The same basic rules shall apply in succeeding open periods. 4. Ice packer trollers which land their first trip of halibut at a camp shall not be permitted to land halibut at any port or plant until the sixth day of the second open camp period. This would not prevent an ice packer from landing one trip at a camp and another at a port where both such deliveries are made within one regular open camp period.

5. The foregoing Rules do not apply to the second open season in Area 2 as determined by the International Halibut Commission.

HALIBUT LAYUP FUND PAYMENTS

In British Columbia, all halibut fishermen will contribute toward the Halibut Curtailment Fund on the basis of 50 cents per 1,000 pounds of halibut landed. On vessels owned by member firms of the Fisheries Association the standard deduction shall be 40 cents per 1,000 pounds. When settlements are made, this money is to be deducted and forwarded to the Halibut Curtailment Fund, care of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union in Vancouver. In the case of Prince Rupert vessels, care of the Prince Rupert Fishermen's Settlement Service.
