Alaska Statutes Title 16. Fish and Game § 16.10.338. Entry permits as collateral

(a) Alaska limited entry permits may be used as security for loans under AS 16.10.310(a). The provisions of AS 16.10.335 and 16.10.337 apply to Alaska limited entry permits pledged as security for loans in accordance with this section.

(b) If a limited entry permit is pledged for security for a loan made under AS 16.10.310(a)(1)(B) for the repair, restoration, upgrading, construction, or purchase of a vessel and the borrower thereafter fails to make a payment or defaults, the commissioner shall, in addition to the notice provided under AS 16.10.335(a), notify the borrower that subject to the commissioner's acceptance the borrower may sell the vessel, apply the sales proceeds to the debt, and renegotiate payment of the balance due on the loan to avoid the immediate loss of the limited entry permit that has been pledged for security for the loan.

(c) If a limited entry permit is pledged for security for a loan made under AS 16.10.310(a)(1)(C) for the purchase of quota shares and the borrower thereafter fails to make a payment or defaults, the commissioner shall, in addition to the notice provided under AS 16.10.335(a), notify the borrower that subject to the commissioner's acceptance the borrower may sell the quota shares, apply the sales proceeds to the debt, and renegotiate payment of the balance due on the loan to avoid the immediate loss of the limited entry permit that has been pledged for security for the loan.
