                COLLOQUY RE CRAB PROCESSOR QUOTA SHARES

  (Mr. LoBIONDO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LoBIONDO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to enter into a colloquy with the 
chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Chairman 
Young.
  Is it the intent of the conference on H.R. 889, the Coast Guard and 
Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, that when the National Marine 
Fisheries Service issues new processor quota shares under section 417, 
the regional designation for the shares for both the king and c. opilio 
crab fisheries shall reflect the processing history of the Blue Dutch 
during the years leading up to the North Pacific Council's adoption of 
the crab plan?
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Mr. Chairman, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. LoBIONDO. I yield to the gentleman from Alaska.
  Mr. YOUNG of Alaska. Yes, it is the intent of the conferees that both 
the new king crab processor quota shares and the new c.opilio processor 
quota shares shall receive a designation based on the location in which 
crab was historically processed.
  Mr. LoBIONDO. I thank the gentleman.
