Mr. Chairman, there is no section in this bill or envisioned in the regs where we speak to compensation, per se. I would say that it's ENR who are responsible for the issuance of tags. As we have seen recently with some of the plans for caribou, some of the concerns we've had, the subsistence hunting and harvesting takes precedence. That's the first interest that has to be protected far before tourism outfitting. Mr. Chairman, I imagine that will continue to be the practice. Obviously we have great deference and legal deference to the co-management boards in the areas and they really are the ones who are consulted and make the judgment call on when it's time. We would provide scientific help as well, but when it's time to start talking about limiting the number of tags and these kinds of things, that will remain in place. Thank you.
