LICENSING INSTRUCTIONS:

Licence eligibility holders may now complete all licence transactions online:

Pay the Euphausiid licence fee in NOLS, and designate a vessel for this licence 
by selecting the following items in NOLS:
Submit Request
Vessel Transactions
Attach/Detach a licence to/from a vessel
Click in the check box to select the applicable licence
Complete the Comment Box with either the designated vessel name and VRN (Vessel 
Registration Number) and vessel master name, OR, state that you are not 
harvesting, will not be designating a vessel and therefore are requesting 
Option N (non-fishing).

Please check your NOLS 'Request Status' for any additional requirements or 
status of your licence.

Note 1: both a fee payment and a 'Submit Request' for licence designation must 
be completed before we can issue a 2017 Euphausiid licence.  Fee payment and 
licence designation are two separate tasks in NOLS.

a request in NOLS.
