Abstract:
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Region created the Federal Fisheries Permit (FFP) and Federal Processor Permit for use in the Alaska EEZ groundfish fisheries. These permits provide NMFS with a way to monitor participation in groundfish fisheries. NMFS limits the Western and Central GOA Pacific cod total allowable catch (TAC) among various gear and operational sectors. This action also limits access to the Federal Pacific cod TAC fisheries prosecuted in State waters, commonly known as the parallel fishery, adjacent to the Western and Central GOA. This action is intended to promote community participation and would provide incentives for new entrants in the jig sector. This request is being resubmitted with the final rule.
