Abstract:
Entities that have an ownership interest in Northeast Multispecies permits that exceed an average potential sector contribution (PSC) that is more than 15.5 for all the allocated stocks in aggregate must render one or more MRIs/permits unusable for at least the duration of a fishing year. Entities must identify as many permits as necessary to operate within the PSC limit. Permits rendered unusable cannot be fished or leased (but can be transferred), effective at the beginning of the following fishing year. Entities must meet the regulatory requirements at 50 CFR 648.4 to shelve a permit. The associated proposed rule is 0648-BF26.
