Title: Reorganization and Update of Federal West Coast Groundfish Regulations
Abstract: Several sections of the Federal groundfish regulations at 50 CFR 660 are outdated and should be updated through a notice-and-comment rulemaking. This rulemaking would correct outdated regulatory references, would update Federal permit regulations at 660.331 to 660.341 to reflect the closure of the sablefish tier application period, and would consolidate those regulations so that they read more clearly. This rulemaking would also update participation rules for the tier sablefish fishery to reflect more recent changes in reporting technology. This rule is non-substantive and non-significant, but it is needed to update the regulations so that they are more user-friendly for the regulated public.
