Title: Amendment 62 to the FMP for the Groundfish Fishery of the Gulf of Alaska and Amendment 62 to the FMP for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 
Abstract: This rule would implement American Fisheries Act (AFA) single geographic location allowing AFA-qualified inshore floating processors the flexibility to relocate between reporting weeks rather than between fishing years for the purpose of processing targeted Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) pollock. In addition, this rule would address obsolete and inconsistent inshore/offshore language in both the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) groundfish fishery management plans and recommend removing the GOA inshore/offshore allocation sunset date.
