When IFQ reports are generated, the stat area worksheet causes sold catch and deadloss to be distributed over two stat areas, with 75 pounds to stat area 575731 and 25 pounds to stat area 575732. The sold pounds and deadloss pounds are then evenly distributed among the two IFQ permits, rounding down because 75 and 25 are not evenly divisible by two, giving IFQ report items with 37 and 12 pounds respectively. Finally
Next, whole-number amounts from fish ticket summaries are compared with the corresponding amounts on the IFQ reports (75 compared with 37+37, and 25 compared with 12+12), and one pound adjustments are applied to IFQ reports until they match Fish Ticket totals. Adjustments are applied to IFQ report items with maxout pounds first; within those with maxout pounds the smallest first; within those by IFQ Permit: next IFQ permit items with area/fishery; within those by area/fishery; within those by IFQ permit: then IFQ permit items with neither max out pounds or area/fishery by IFQ permit. In this case no IFQ report items have maxout or area/fishery, so the smallest (990051) IFQ permit gets the adjustment pounds in every case.
Finally, IFQ reports are "leveled", and in this case, since one report got four positive rounding-related adjustments, while the other report got none... , leveling requires that 2 pounds be moved from 990051's report to 990052's report. Leveling adjustments are made in 1 pound increments; there are two adjustments of 1 pound each from the sold items on 990051's report to the corresponding sold items on 990052's report. The end result of the leveling is that 990051's report retains both rounding adjustments on its deadloss items, while 990052's report effectively acquires both rounding adjustments on its sold items.
