NOAA-NMFS-2019-0060 NOAA Amendment 120 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area and Amendment 108 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska to limit the number of catcher/processors acting as motherships taking Pacific cod deliveries from trawl catcher vessels in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska directed Pacific cod Rulemaking 2022-04-02T01:01:16Z 0b00006483cd3659 0648-BJ02 This action would limit the number of catcher/processors (CPs) acting as motherships taking deliveries of Pacific cod from trawl catcher vessels (CVs) in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) directed Pacific cod fisheries. In recent years, an unexpected increase in the number of CPs accepting such deliveries allowed under current regulations has resulted in increased deliveries of BSAI non-Community Development Quota Pacific cod by trawl CVs engaging in directed fishing to CPs acting as motherships, a corresponding decrease in the amount of Pacific cod delivered to shoreside processing facilities, and a faster-paced fishery. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council determined that limiting the number of eligible licenses issued under the License Limitation Program (LLP) assigned to CPs to act as motherships in this fishery could reduce the portion of Pacific cod delivered offshore to recent historical levels, prevent further reductions in the amount of Pacific cod delivered to shoreside processors, and stabilize the fishing season duration. This action would modify the LLP by establishing eligibility criteria, based on historic participation, for an endorsement to licenses assigned to CPs to act as motherships in this fishery. This action would also prohibit Amendment 80 sector CPs not designated on an Amendment 80 Quota Share (QS) permit and an Amendment 80 LLP license or not designated on an Amendment 80 LLP/QS license from receiving Pacific cod harvested in the directed Pacific cod fisheries in the BSAI and GOA. This prohibition would ensure that only an Amendment 80 replacement CP, as specified under Amendment 97 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the BSAI Management Area (77 FR 59852, October 21, 2012), and not the replaced Amendment 80 CP, could participate in directed Pacific cod fisheries in the BSAI or the GOA. This would limit the expanded use of CPs once they leave the Amendment 80 program.               {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": null, "modifyDate": "2022-04-02T01:01:16Z", "dkAbstract": "This action would limit the number of catcher/processors (CPs) acting as motherships taking deliveries of Pacific cod from trawl catcher vessels (CVs) in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) and the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) directed Pacific cod fisheries.
