sec.70 When effort units entitlement is used for an effort year
The entitlement under effort units for a trawl region is used for an effort year— when the holder of, or a person acting under, the effort units has used all the effort units for the year and used the primary boat identified in a trawl licence for all the steaming days for the units; or section 71 applies. Effort units for a trawl region are used when the holder, or anyone else allowed by the holder, has used the primary boat identified in a trawl licence in the region on a day. The number of effort units used on the day is worked out by applying the following formula— where— EU means the number of effort units used on the day. EUCF means the effort unit conversion factor for the primary boat used stated in schedule 10 opposite the number of hull units for the boat. If the primary boat is used in any part of a day, the boat is taken to have been used for the whole of the day. If because of a notice given under section 67 , the period of a day changes, the use of the primary boat at any time must not be counted twice in working out whether the boat has been used on a day. The day applying to the holder of effort units, under section 67 , is midday to midday (the existing 24-hour period ). The holder gives the chief executive 24 hours notice, under section 67 (2) , to change the day applying to the holder to be midnight to midnight (the new 24-hour period ). The primary boat is used in the 24 hours leading up to the first midnight of the new 24-hour period. The use of the boat during those 24 hours may be counted only for the existing 24-hour period, even if the primary boat is used after midday. The unused entitlement under effort units for a trawl region for an effort year is the number of effort units for the trawl region and the steaming days that have not been used for the effort year under any trawl licence held by the holder of the effort units. s 70 amd 2020 SL No. 236 s 133 (sec.70-ssec.1) The entitlement under effort units for a trawl region is used for an effort year— when the holder of, or a person acting under, the effort units has used all the effort units for the year and used the primary boat identified in a trawl licence for all the steaming days for the units; or section 71 applies.

(sec.70-ssec.3) The number of effort units used on the day is worked out by applying the following formula— where— EU means the number of effort units used on the day.

(sec.70-ssec.4) If the primary boat is used in any part of a day, the boat is taken to have been used for the whole of the day. (sec.70-ssec.5) If because of a notice given under section 67 , the period of a day changes, the use of the primary boat at any time must not be counted twice in working out whether the boat has been used on a day. The day applying to the holder of effort units, under section 67 , is midday to midday (the existing 24-hour period ).

The use of the boat during those 24 hours may be counted only for the existing 24-hour period, even if the primary boat is used after midday. (sec.70-ssec.6) The unused entitlement under effort units for a trawl region for an effort year is the number of effort units for the trawl region and the steaming days that have not been used for the effort year under any trawl licence held by the holder of the effort units.
