So how is it established how many reporting lines are on the initial CRC?

For 2010 the summer and winter cards each had 20 reporting lines and we burn a line any day we crab and retain even one crab. One could go through a card and retain a minimum of 20 crab. Using the 2010 shellfish license fee of $12.00 and the now $7.50 endorsement the license fees could be a maximum of $1.00 a retained crab. Compare that to the $.011 per pound (roughly $.02 per available crab) the commercials paid in license fees to participate in the 2010 season.

Also, am I reading this correctly that a second CRC is going to cost $11.00 which is 47% more than the initial endorsement/CRC? And 267% more than the current $3.00 CRC/endorsement????

And exactly what was the proposed increase in commercial license fees? I want to hear it again.
