Title: Amendment 28 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico(Section 610 Review) 
Abstract: NMFS proposed to implement management measures as requested by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council in Amendment 28 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico. The Council voted to reallocate the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) 2016 and 2017 red snapper stock annual catch limit between the commercial and recreational sectors from 51:49 percent to 48.5:51.5 percent, respectively. As a result of the revised sector allocations proposed in Amendment 28, this rule would revise the red snapper commercial and recreational quotas (which are equivalent to the annual catch limits) and the recreational annual catch targets. This rule would also set the Federal charter vessel/headboat and private angling component quotas and annual catch targets based on the revised recreational sectors annual catch limit and annual catch target.
