These categories would be established in regulation: 1. The "greater than or equal to 100 %" (>100%) coverage category, and 2. The "less than 100 percent" ( <100 %) coverage category. Vessels and processors that would be placed in the >100% include: I. All catcher /processors and motherships participating in the groundfish and halibut fisheries, 2. All catcher vessels while fishing under a management system that uses prohibited species caps in conjunction with a catch share program, and 3. All shoreside and floating processors when taking deliveries of AFA or CDQ Pollock. Vessels and processors in the >100% coverage category would not be included under the fee -based program and would continue to obtain observers by contracting directly with observer providers ("status quo "). All other catcher vessel landings in the groundfish and halibut fisheries, and processors taking deliveries of this catch, would fall into the <100% coverage category. Observer coverage for vessels and processors in the <100% coverage category would be managed under an ex- vessel fee based observer service delivery model with the following features: Basis of the fee assessment: A fee would be assessed on the ex- vessel value of the landed catch weight of groundfish and halibut. The landed catch weight would be the weight equivalents used to debit quotas (e.g., round weight for groundfish and headed and gutted net weight for halibut) which are reported on the processor's or registered buyer's landing report submitted to NMFS. Ex- vessel value fee percentage of 1.25 %: The fee percentage would be set in regulation at 1.25% of the ex- vessel value of groundfish and halibut. The fee percentage will be reviewed annually by the council after the second year of the program (see Option 2 annual reports, below). Selection of vessels and processors for observer coverage: The selection of vessels and processors that must carry an observer under the restructured program would be determined through a sampling and deployment plan. Observer coverage rates (trips or vessels) would not be in regulation. Standard ex- vessel prices to apply to (non -IFQ) groundfish landings to determine the ex- vessel value based fee liability would be based on standardized ex- vessel nominal prices calculated using data derived from COAR using the methodology developed by the CFEC for their gross earnings estimates. Standard ex- vessel prices would be established for groundfish by species, port of landing, and gear. Three gear type categories would be established: pelagic trawl gear, non- pelagic trawl gear, and fixed gear (everything else besides trawl gear). Because of data confidentiality issues, standardized price data must be aggregated if there are fewer than 3 entities in a practice category. q A 3 -year rolling average would be used to calculate the standard ex- vessel prices for groundfish (excluding fixed gear IFQ /CDQ sablefish). Standard annual ex- vessel prices for halibut and sablefish IFQ and CDQ: The most recent available standard annual ex- vessel price for IFQ halibut and IFQ sablefish developed for the IFQ cost recovery program would be applied to landings by: • Catcher vessels in the <100% observer coverage category of halibut IFQ, • Halibut CDQ, • Sablefish IFQ, and • Sablefish that accrues against the fixed gear sablefish CDQ allocation. This standard ex- vessel price is established annually by port or port group from registered buyer reports. Start -up funding: Funds must be collected prior to deployment of observers under the restructured portion of the program to initiate contracts for observer deployment. Alternative 3 is expected to provide start -up funding in one year. During the start -up period ("year -0 "), vessels and processors subject to the 1.25% fee assessment would continue to pay for current observer coverage requirements. Processors would be billed at the end of the year. Vessels and processors will only be required to pay the difference between the fee assessment and the actual year -0 observer cost under the status quo deployment model. Federal funding for start -up cost: The Alaska Region NMFS will continue to seek federal funding Ibr start -up cost of implementation of the restructured observer program. If federal funding is available, it would be used towards the initial deployment of observers under a restructured program. Modified Option 2: Annual Report and Review of the Sampling and Deployment Plan and the 1.25% fee assessment: NMFS will release an observer report by September I of each year. The report will contain the proposed stratum and coverage rates for the deployment of observers in the following calendar year, as well as information on the financial aspects of the program. The council may request its Observer Advisory Committee, groundfish Plan Teams and/or the SSC to review and comment on this draft plan. NMFS will consult with the Council each year on the draft plan for the upcoming year, at a meeting of the Council's choosing that provides sufficient time for Council review and input to NMFS. NMFS also would prepare an annual report on the observer program for presentation to the Council each year, including information on how industry participants have adapted to and been able to accommodate the new program. As part of this annual report, the 1.25% fee percentage would be reviewed by the council after completion of the second year of observer deployment in the restructured program. The Council could revise the fee assessment percentage in the future through rulemaking after it had an opportunity to evaluate program revenues and costs, observer coverage levels, -fishery management objectives, and future sampling and observer deployment plans. This report would be provided to the Council at the same time the annual deployment plan is being provided. C -5 GOA Tanner crab bycatch motion FINAL MOTION AS RECONSIDERED - October 11, 2010 The Council adopts the following amended problem statement and preferred alternative for final action: Problem Statement: Tanner crab are a prohibited species bycatch in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) groundfish fisheries. Directed fisheries for Tanner crab in the GOA are fully allocated . under thecurrent limited entry system. No specific conservation measures exist in the GOA toaddress adverse interactions with Tanner crab by trawl and fixed gear sectors targetinggroundfish and low observer coverage in GOA groundfish fisheries limits confidence inthe assessment of Tanner crab bycatch in those fisheries, and a greater level of observercoverage in the appropriate areas may provide the Council with a higher level ofconfidence in the assessment of any bycatch occurring in the designated areas as a basisfor future management actions as necessary. Trawl sweep modifications have been effective in reducing unobserved bycatch mortality of Tanner crab in the Bering Sea, and similar effects may be realized in the Gulf of Alaska if modified trawl sweeps are employed in those groundfish fisheries. Alternative 2: Close the areas specified below to trawl groundfish fisheries. Component 1: Area definition ADF &G Northeast Section Option 1: Statistical Area 525807 and the area east of Statistical Area 525807north of 58 degrees latitude, south of 58 degrees 15 min. latitude and west the longitude line extending north from the eastern boundary of the Type 1 red king crab closure area. • Component 2: Closure timing Option 1: Year round Suboption 1: trawl gear Suboption 5: Vessels using pelagic trawl gear to directed fish for pollock wouldbe exempt from the closures • Component 3: Observer coverage for pot groundfish fishery In order to fish in the area, require 30% observer coverage on all pot groundfish vessels less than 125 feet. Note, fishing days and observer coverage in these areas would be separate from and not count towards meeting a vessel's overall 30% groundfish observer coverage requirement. The Council encourages the agency to incorporate, to the extent possible, in the new fee -based observer program, an observer deployment strategy that ensures adequate coverage to establish statistically robust observations in the area described. 1 h , Alternative 3.L`orderto fish mthe areas specified below Tequife1'00% observer c overage on all non sh pelagic trawlgroundfi vess el a d 30% obse Ver•coverage o a, 199 [pot groundfish vessels less`than - 125feet.

Said return shall be filed on or before the fifteenth day of January of each tax 102 year. The borough assessor may, by notice in writing to any person by whom a return has 103 been made, require from him a further return containing additional details and more explicit Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2007 -16 Page 2 of 6 104 particulars and, upon receipt of the notice, that person shall comply fully with its 105 requirements within 30 days. 106 In the event of any person failing, refusing, or neglecting to make or file said personal 107 property return of property owned by him, as required herein, the assessor shall make an 108 assessment which shall be as fair and equitable as he is able to make from the best 109 information in his possession concerning said property. 110 111 3.40.04540 Tax situs of personal property. 112 A. Tax Situs. All personal property which has a tax situs within the borough on January 1st 113 of the tax year is subject to taxation. "Tax situs" means the principal place where an item of 114 personal property is located, having due regard to the residence and domicile of its owner, 115 the place where it is registered or licensed, whether it is taxed by other municipalities, and 116 any other factors which may indicate the principal location of the property. 117 118 B. Tax Situs, Conclusive Presumptions 119 1. Tax situs shall be conclusively presumed to be within the borough when the property, 120 although not within the borough on January 1st of the assessment year, either: 121 a. Has been or is usually, normally, or regularly kept or used within the borough; 122 b. Has been or is kept or used within the borough for any 90 days or more in the 12 123 months preceding the January 1st assessment; or 124 c. Has been or is kept or used within the borough for any length of time preceding 125 January 1st of the assessment year if such presence or use is intended to be permanent; 126 "permanent" in this subsection means for a period of 90 days or more. 127 2. Tax situs shall also be presumed conclusively to be within the borough where the 128 ownership, maintenance, or use of such property requires a license or permit, and a license 129 or permit has been issued by the state of Alaska or the borough or any other political 130 subdivision within the borough, and: 131 a. The property is so licensed or permit so issued and either the actual residence 132 address or the mailing address of the licensee or permittee, or of the permissive user 133 thereunder, is within the borough; or 134 b. The property is so licensed or the permit so issued and the domicile of the 135 licensee or permittee, or the permissive user thereunder, is in the borough; this subsection 136 is to apply expressly to, but is not limited to, situations wherein the subject property is in the 137 custody of persons in educational institutions outside of the borough; or 138 c. The property is so licensed or the permit is issued and the property is 139 permanently outside the borough when such licensing frees the owner, user or custodian of 140 liability for similar taxes in any other country, state, or political subdivision thereof. 141 3.40.02050 Liability for and collection of. 142 A. The owner of personal property assessed is personally liable for the amount of taxes 143 assessed against the property. The tax, together with penalty and interest, may be collected 144 in a personal action brought in the name of the borough. 145 B. If the tax on personal property is not paid when due, the borough may, in addition to other 146 remedies available, enforce the tax lien by distraint and sale of the property after first 147 making demand of the person assessed for the amount of the tax, penalty, and interest. The 148 demand shall be in writing addressed to the person whose name appears on the last 149 assessment roll as the owner of the property, describing the personal property assessed 150 and the amount of the tax, penalty, and interest and demanding that the total be paid within 151 10 days after service of the demand personally or by registered mail. Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2007 -16 Page 3 of 6 152 C. If the tax has not been paid after the expiration of 10 days from service of demand, the 153 clerk may issue a warrant directing a peace officer to seize the personal property for which 154 the tax was levied and to sell it at public auction after at least 15 days' notice of the sale by 155 posting and publication. If the proceeds from the property sold are not sufficient to satisfy 156 the tax, penalty, interest and costs of sale, the warrant may authorize the seizure of other 157 personal property sufficient to satisfy the tax, penalty, interest, and costs of sale. 158 159 3.40.03060 Penalties and Interest. 160 A person who fails, refuses, or neglects to file a personal property return in accordance with 161 KIBC 3.6540.010 and 3.6540.020 shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be 162 liable for a penalty of 10 porcont of tho tax accoccod against said porconal proporty ac 163 - - • - • - •• _ _ _ _ e- • _ _ • • _ _ _.: _ .! ! 20% of the tax assessed, in 164 accordance with AS 29.45.250. Said person shall pay interest at the rate of 12 percent per 165 year, exclusive of penalty, from the due date until paid in full. This section shall apply to all 166 persons having personal property within the borough, irrespective of residence. However, 167 when such penalty and interest amount to $1.00 or less, there shall be assessed a minimum 168 penalty of $1.00. A person who files a completed return after the filing deadline, but before 169 the mailing of the assessment notices shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, 170 be liable for a penalty of five percent of the tax assessed against said personal property for 171 that tax year. 172 173 3.40.05070 Classification of boats and vessels. 174 Pursuant to AS 29.45.050(b)(2), boats and vessels are classified for purposes of taxation as 175 a special category and shall be taxed at the rate determined annually by the assembly 176 during the budget adoption process for a boat or voscol of moro than fivo not tone, rather 177 than on an ad valorem basis. 178 179 3.40.080 Classification of aircraft. 180 A. Pursuant to AS 29.45.050(b)(2), for purposes of taxation, commercial aircraft that have 181 been issued an N number by the Federal Aviation administration ( "FAA ") by January 1 of the 182 tax year and are less than 12,500 pounds takeoff weight shall be totally exempted from ad 183 valorem taxes and shall be taxed at the rate determined annually by the assembly during 184 the budget adoption process . 185 B. The owner of record of An aircraft that has been dismantled, destroyed or crashed and 186 the FAA N number has been retained by the aircraft's owner of record may submit to the 187 assessor proof of condition that would allow for taxation of that aircraft, if approved by the 188 assessor, at a rate determined by the assembly during the budget adoption process. 189 Aircraft for which such registration or licensing has lapsed or that has not passed the annual 190 inspection required by the FAA shall not qualify on this basis alone for ad valorem taxation 191 unless it has been dismantled, destroyed or crashed. 192 C. Commercial aircraft with a gross takeoff weight of more than 12,500 pounds shall be 193 taxed on an ad valorem basis and in accordance with the Kodiak Island Borough landing 194 schedule formula, where applicable. 195 D. Definitions. For purposes of this section: Kodiak Island Borough, Alaska Ordinance No. FY2007 -16 Page 4 of 6 196 Aircraft means any engine powered contrivance invented, used, or designed to 197 navigate, or fly in, the air and that is capable of being manned and is required by the FAA to 198 be registered and certified in order to be manned. 199 Commercial aircraft means any aircraft transporting passengers and /or cargo or is 200 employed for fish spotting, agricultural, aquacultural or other purposes for some payment, or 201 other consideration, including money or services rendered. 202 Crashed means aircraft for which only parts remain that, due to their condition, can 203 no longer be assembled to create any contrivable aircraft. This shall be evidenced by an 204 FAA accident report and /or copy of an insurance claim that determines the aircraft to be a 205 total loss. 206 Destroyed means aircraft that have been damaged by age, weather, neglect and /or 207 external influences outside the owner's control, and only unusable parts remain that, due to 208 their condition can no longer be assembled to create any contrivable aircraft. This shall be 209 evidenced by photographs and a physical inspection by the KPB Assessing staff appraiser if 210 deemed necessary by the borough assessor. 211 Dismantled means aircraft that have been voluntarily disassembled and only parts 212 remain that can no longer be assembled to create any contrivable aircraft. Evidence such as 213 photographs and a physical inspection by the KPB Assessing staff appraiser shall be 214 provided or allowed if deemed necessary by the borough assessor. 215 E.
