Oregon Statutes - Chapter 508 - Licenses and Permits - Section 508.792 - Lottery system for permit issuance.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, if the number of permits renewed under ORS 508.781 falls below 200, the State Department of Fish and Wildlife shall issue permits by a lottery system for vessels that do not meet the requirements of ORS 508.781. However, the number of permits issued pursuant to any such lottery system shall not increase the number of permits issued to a total number greater than 200.

(2) The State Fish and Wildlife Commission may, in its discretion, suspend the lottery for up to two years. Suspension shall be based on the commission’s assessment of the condition of the resource and shall account for the recommendations of the Gillnet Salmon Review Board.
