- **Government buyer:** Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, within the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
- **Proposed regulatory changes:** Amend Title 20 of the Alaska Administrative Code to remove Arctic Lamprey as a specifically listed fishery resource and allow beach seines under salmon set gillnet permits in the Cook Inlet Area, consistent with Board of Fisheries authorization.
- **Procurement status:** This is a regulatory notice, not a procurement opportunity; no OEMs, vendors, products, services, quantities, or part numbers are identified.
- **Fiscal impact:** The notice anticipates no additional costs to private persons and no increase in appropriations.

### Description

The Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission proposes amendments to Title 20 of the Alaska Administrative Code.
