(b) If a limited entry permit is pledged for security for a loan made under AS 16.10.310(a)(1)(B) for the repair, restoration, upgrading, construction, or purchase of a vessel and the borrower thereafter fails to make a payment or defaults, the commissioner shall, in addition to the notice provided under AS 16.10.335(a), notify the borrower that subject to the commissioner's acceptance the borrower may sell the vessel, apply the sales proceeds to the debt, and renegotiate payment of the balance due on the loan to avoid the immediate loss of the limited entry permit that has been pledged for security for the loan.
