(1) Note that initial
issuance refers to the issuance of a new permit whenever this
occurred. As some applicants are difficult to classify under a
hardship ranking system, a final determination of their standing
may come only after an extensive hearing and adjudicatory
process. In other instances permits have been issued as lawsuits
brought against the Commission are eventually resolved. Thus,
some permits have been issued several years after the main body
of permits were issued in a given fishery. (2) AS 16.43.370(b):
"The commission shall study alternative methods of permit
transferability and report its findings and recommendations to
the legislature before January 15, 1975." The resulting report
was the "Report to the Legislature on Entry Permit Transfers,"
CFEC, January 15, 1975. (3)
