NOAA-NMFS-2015-0114 NOAA Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Observer Coverage Requirements for Small Catcher/ Processor in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Groundfish Fisheries Rulemaking 2016-03-29T12:32:03Z 0b00006481c58e2b 0648-BF36 NMFS proposes regulations that would implement Amendment 112 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI FMP) and Amendment 102 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA FMP) and revise regulations for observer coverage requirements for certain small catcher/processors in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) and Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI). If approved, this proposed rule would modify the criteria for NMFS to place small catcher/processors in the partial observer coverage category under the North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut Observer Program (Observer Program). Under this proposed rule, the owner of a non-trawl catcher/processor could choose to be in the partial observer coverage category, on an annual basis, if the vessel processed less than 79,000 lb (35.8 mt) of groundfish on an average weekly basis in a particular prior year, as specified in this proposed rule. This proposed rule would not alter observer coverage requirements for a catcher/ processor using trawl gear or for a catcher/processor when participating in a catch share program; these catcher/ processors would continue to be required to be in the full observer coverage category. This proposed rule would provide a relatively limited exception to the general requirement that all catcher/processors are in the full observer coverage category, and maintain the full observer coverage requirement for all trawl catcher/ processors and catcher/processors participating in a catch share program that requires full coverage. The net impact of this proposed rule on the information available for fisheries management is expected to be small due, in part, to the small amount of fishing activity that would be impacted. This proposed rule is intended to promote the goals of the BSAI and GOA FMPs, and to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) and other applicable laws.               {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": null, "modifyDate": "2016-03-29T12:32:03Z", "dkAbstract": "NMFS proposes regulations\nthat would implement Amendment 112\nto the Fishery Management Plan for\nGroundfish of the Bering Sea and\nAleutian Islands Management Area\n(BSAI FMP) and Amendment 102 to the\nFishery Management Plan for\nGroundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA\nFMP) and revise regulations for observer\ncoverage requirements for certain small\ncatcher/processors in the Gulf of Alaska\n(GOA) and Bering Sea and Aleutian\nIslands Management Area (BSAI).
