Title: Revision to Regulatory Requirements for the Subsistence Taking of Northern Fur Seals on St. George, Alaska 
Abstract: This action would modify the subsistence harvest regulations for the Eastern Pacific stock of northern fur seals based on a petition from the Pribilof Island Community of St. George Island Traditional Council (Council). NMFS has evaluated the effects of the proposed modification of the regulations and has worked with the Council to develop the proposed rule to authorize residents of St. George Island to take sub-adult male fur seals and up to 150 male young of the year (i.e., pups) during a second autumn harvest season at all available breeding and hauling grounds co-managed by NMFS and the Council.
