(1) The tables in this section include regular
priced QS transfers and priced sweep-up QS transfer transactions with the associated
1995 IFQs. Some priced sales transfers were excluded if there was more than a one
pound difference between the indicated 1995 IFQ transferred and an "estimated 1995
IFQ" based upon applying the 1995 IFQ/QS ratio for the area to the amount of QS
transferred. Some of the prices reported herein would be different if this exclusion
criterion had been relaxed. (2) Carey,
personal communication, 11-13-95. (3)
These average prices were calculated by dividing the total sales value by either the
amount of QS involved or the amount of 1995 IFQ associated with that QS. Since an
amount of QS is being transferred with the 1995 IFQ associated with it, either
formulation of price on a "per unit" basis is awkward. The number are most useful for
comparisons of QS transfers without the associated 1995 IFQ. (4) As noted earlier, the range of QS holdings
that were blocked was based upon the quota share pool as of October 17,1994 and the
1994 TAC for the area. Amounts of QS that would have been worth less than 20,000
pounds of 1994 TAC using the area's QS pool were blocked. See 50 CFR 679.40 (a).
