This action would implement the annual measures included in Framework Adjustment 51 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan (Framework 51). Framework 51 would set specifications for white hake for fishing years 2014 through 2016, as well as fishing year 2014 shared U.S./Canada quotas for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder and Eastern Georges Bank cod and haddock. The specifications for white hake are 10 percent higher than 2013, and are based on the 2013 stock assessment. The U.S. quota for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder is proposed to increase by 53 percent compared to 2013, and the Eastern Georges Bank cod and haddock quotas are proposed to increase by 60 percent, and more than 150 percent, respectively. These quotas are based on the 2013 joint U.S./Canada assessment for these stocks. The quotas for all other species were set last year in Framework 50.Framework 51 would also revise the rebuilding program for Gulf of Maine cod and American plaice. Both programs are proposed to be 10 years to ensure stocks rebuild in a timely manner, while allowing the fishery to continue. Other management measures included in Framework 51 are accountability measures for the small-mesh fishery for Georges Bank yellowtail flounder, modification to the U.S./Canada Area management measures, and consideration of a prohibition on possession of yellowtail flounder by the scallop fishery.
