* The RAM database shows this segment of 10,489 QS units (an October 18, 1994 IFQ equivalent of 2,550 pounds) as blocked on the
year-end 1995 file. As such the block is sweepable. This segment has a blocking status of swappable CDQ compensation QS on
the initial issuees file. Swappable CDQ compensation QS is by regulation unblocked and not sweepable. This apparent anomaly
in the RAM data base has not been addressed as of this writing.
** The RAM data base shows 24,479 QS units being initially issued as blocked QS (an October 18, 1994 IFQ equivalent of 2,954 pounds)
along with QS equivalent to 201 pounds of CDQ compensation QS. The sum of the IFQ equivalents of these segments is over the 3,000
pounds limit for sablefish. However, these two segments were NOT rolled together on the year-end 1995 file, so that the 24,479 QS
units QS units are deemed swappable. This apparent anomaly in the RAM data base has not been addressed as of this writing.
