Title: Framework Adjustment 56 to the Northeast Multispecies Fishery Management Plan 
Abstract:

This action set 2017 specifications for three U.S./Canada stocks (Eastern Georges Bank cod, Eastern Georges Bank haddock, and Georges Bank yellowtail flounder), as well as 2017-2018 specifications for witch flounder. This action established an allocation for northern windowpane flounder for the scallop fishery, revised catch thresholds for implementing the scallop fishery's accountability measures for both its Georges Bank yellowtail flounder allocation and its new northern windowpane flounder allocation, and increased the Georges Bank haddock catch allocation for the midwater trawl fishery.
