FLNRO developed an Allocation Working Group to review the impact of full implementation of the Harvest Allocation Policy. Because of the $10 M loss to the outfitting sector, FLRNO agreed to help with increased flexibility in outfitter quotas. The intent was to increase the time horizon from 1 year to 5 years and increase the Administrative Guideline to help outfitters harvest their 5 year quota.
