The lobbyists took the following actions: - Wrote a letter to Southeast Coastal Community representatives requesting a letter to the Board of Fish in opposition to a salmon production reduction proposal they were to deliberate on. - Worked on a letter of support campaign for the SE Board of Fish meeting. - Worked with The Legislative Task Force Committee on ways to provide stability and support to the fisheries sector of the Alaska economy. -Lobbyist engaged with legislators regarding the sportfish license surcharge legislation on behalf of the stakeholders wanting to maintain adequate funding for the sportfish hatchery programs in the State including those contracted to PNPs. -Hired a PR firm who is engaged with the PNP's collectively for grass roots lobbying efforts via a website and other PR functions including providing comment or soliciting comment for Alaska Board of Fish issues facing PNPs. -Hired an individual to meet with Board of Fish member and educate them on scientific information important in understand hatchery and wild fish interaction. 271735 271735 32149332 17123987 15025345 18178109 15691212 2486897 17783977 Lease Liability 206241 206241 X 12259698 0 12259698 0 12259698 13120924 0 13120924 0 13120924 Part X, Line 2: SSRAA is organized under Section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization. In addition, SSRAA qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170(B)(1)(A) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509(A)(2). SSRAA follows the provisions of FASB ASC 740 Income Taxes, and management believes that it has appropriate support for any tax positions taken. SSRAA's most significant tax provisions are its assertion that it is exempt from income taxes to the extent that its activities are within its tax exempt mission, and its determination whether any activities are not within its mission and are therefore subject to unrelated business tax (UBIT). All significant tax positions have been considered by management, and they have determined that it is more likely than not that all tax positions would be substantiated upon examination by taxing authorities. SSRAA's federal income tax returns (Form 990) are subject to possible examination by the IRS until the expiration of the related statutes of limitations on those tax returns, which, in general, have a three-year statute of limitations.
