Title: ●Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; North and South Atlantic 2011 Commercial Swordfish Quotas 
Abstract: This proposed rule would modify the 2011 fishing season quotas for North and South Atlantic swordfish based on recent updated landings information. This action will also implement recommendations from the 2010 annual meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). This proposed rule may also include other minor regulatory clarifications. This rule is necessary to ensure that current swordfish quotas account for underharvests from the 2010 fishing year, consistent with regulations at 50 CFR 635 and ICCAT recommendations that establish the U.S. North and South Atlantic swordfish allocations. This action is not significant under the meaning of Executive Order 12866 since it is below the economic threshold of impact, and has no novel or legal policy issues associated with it.
