Title: ●Amendment 102 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska | |
Abstract:
This rule would modify the basis for NMFS to place small catcher/processors in partial coverage in the North Pacific Groundfish and Halibut Observer Program (Observer Program). Under this action, NMFS would classify a catcher/processor as small and eligible for partial coverage for one year based on whether the catcher/processor had an average weekly production less than a specified threshold. This action would decrease the cost of observer coverage for catcher/processors that process small amounts of groundfish relative to the rest of the fleet. Approximately nine vessels could be affected by this action and we expect all newly qualified vessels would choose to participate in partial coverage for the upcoming fishing year. |
