Abstract:
The License Limitation Program (LLP) restricts access to the commercial groundfish fisheries, commercial crab fisheries and commercial scallop fisheries in the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska except for certain areas where alternative programs exist. The intended effect of the LLP is to limit the number of participants and reduce fishing capacity in fisheries off Alaska. Amendment 83 would limit the amount of Western and Central Gulf of Alaska (GOA) Pacific cod that each sector is authorized to harvest. This action would reduce competition among sectors and would support stability in the Pacific cod fishery. This rule would also limit access to the Federal Pacific cod TAC fisheries prosecuted in State waters, commonly known as the parallel fishery, adjacent to the Western and Central GOA. This action is intended to promote community participation and would provide incentives for new entrants in the jig sector. This is a resubmission without change, with the final rule.
