| 01-30385 | Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Amendments 61/61/13/8 to Implement Major Provisions of the American Fisheries Act | Proposed Rule | NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 61 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area, Amendment 61 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska, Amendment 13 to the Fishery Management Plan for Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crab, and Amendment 8 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Scallop Fishery off Alaska (FMPs). These amendments incorporate the provisions of the American Fisheries Act (AFA) into the FMPs and their implementing regulations. Proposed management measures to implementing the AFA include: Regulations limiting entry by vessels and processors into all sectors of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) pollock fishery, a new formula allocating the BSAI pollock total allowable catch (TAC) among the inshore, catcher/processor, and mothership processing sectors and the Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program, regulations governing the formation and operation of fishery cooperatives (cooperatives) in the BSAI pollock fishery, harvesting and processing limits known as "sideboards" to protect vessels and processors in other fisheries from spillover effects resulting from the rationalization and privatization of the BSAI pollock fishery, observer coverage requirements for vessels and processors in the BSAI pollock fishery, catch weighing and scale requirements for BSAI pollock processors, vessel monitoring system (VMS) requirements for AFA catcher vessels and AFA catcher/processors fishing for groundfish in the BSAI and GOA; and a 2-year extension of the inshore/offshore regime for pollock and Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). These amendments are necessary to implement the AFA and are intended to do so in a manner consistent with the environmental and socioeconomic objectives of AFA, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management and Conservation Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the FMPs, and other applicable laws. | 2001-12-17 | 2001 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/17/01-30385/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-amendments-6161138-to-implement-major-provisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-17/pdf/01-30385.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS proposes regulations to implement Amendment 61 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area, Amendment 61 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska, Amendment 13 to... |
