Title: ●Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; Biennial Specifications and Management Measures; Change to 2010 Harvest Specifications for Yelloweye Rockfish; Inseason Adjustments to Fishery Management  
Abstract: On March 6, 2009, NMFS published a final rule to implement the 2009-2010 West Coast groundfish harvest specifications and management measures (74 FR 9874). This action takes management action to modify the 2010 harvest specifications for darkblotched rockfish, cowcod, and yelloweye rockfish. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued an Order on April 23, 2010, vacating the 2009-2010 Specifications for those three species, and replaced the specifications with the most recent OYs that were specified for 2007-2008. A pending final rule amends the regulatory requirements for these three species in accordance with the court's order. This final rule implements revised harvest guidelines for yelloweye rockfish. This final rule also makes routine inseason adjustments to fishery management measures to keep projected impacts of other groundfish species within their respective 2010 harvest specifications.
