this program are described in the commercial fishing plan.  A Nil report must 
be submitted to the DFO Shellfish Data Unit for licence renewal for 2011 even

Fishers are reminded the pre-licence application requirement will be continued 
for 2011. All licence applications for a Z-F category licence must be 
accompanied by a letter from the Krill Trawlers Association (KTA) or their 
designate, certifying that arrangements have been made with a DFO Observer or 
service bureau, to provide services required by the 2011 conditions of licence. 
Alternately licence holders choosing a service bureau independent of the KTA 
will require a letter identifying the service bureau they have hired, and 
confirming that they can meet the 2011 conditions of licence through this 
arrangement.
