        <RULE_TITLE>2009 Pacific Halibut Fisheries; Catch Sharing Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[NMFS proposes to approve and implement changes to the Pacific Halibut Catch Sharing Plan (Plan) for the International Pacific Halibut Commissions (IPHC or Commission) regulatory Area 2A off Washington, Oregon, and California (Area 2A).  NMFS proposes to implement the portions of the Plan and management measures that are not implemented through the IPHC, which includes tribal regulations and the sport fishery allocations and management measures for Area 2A.  These actions are intended to enhance the conservation of Pacific halibut, to provide greater angler opportunity where available, and to protect yelloweye rockfish and other overfished groundfish species from incidental catch in the halibut fisheries.]]></ABSTRACT>
