Agenda change requests from the public, advisory committees and agencies for the 2019/2020 meeting cycle of the Alaska Board of Fisheries must be received physically by the board’s support section of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game by Aug. 26.

During its Oct. 23-24 work session at the Egan Convention Center in downtown Anchorage, the board will review ACRs for possible scheduling during the 2019-2020 meeting cycle. In order for the board to approve and schedule an ACR for later in the meeting cycle, the ACR must be for a fishery conservation purpose or reason, to correct an error in a regulation, or to correct an effect on a fishery that was unforeseen when the regulation was adopted.

ACR forms are online at  dfg.bof.comments@alaska.gov.

Those interested in making agenda change requests are reminded that the ACRs must be received online, by mail, email or fax, and that a postmark is not sufficient for timely receipt.

ACRs may be submitted online at adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?, mailed to ADF&G, Boards Support Section, P.O. Box 115526, Juneau, AK 99811-5526, faxed to 907-465-6094, or emailed to dfg.bof.comments@alaska.gov.
