        <RULE_TITLE>Harvest Specifications for the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 Pacific Mackerel Fishing Years; Coastal Pelagic Species Fishery Management Plan</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Pursuant to the Coastal Pelagic Species Fishery Management Plan, the Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council), under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, each June adopts and recommends to NMFS harvest specifications for Pacific mackerel in the United States exclusive economic zone off the Pacific coast of California, Oregon, and Washington for the upcoming two fishing years. The Pacific mackerel fishing season is open year round (technically beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30). NMFS proposes to implement those harvest specifications for the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 fishing years as recommended by the Council at its June 2017 meeting. Harvest specifications include harvest guidelines for each fishing year, which will serve as the primary commercial harvest quotas.]]></ABSTRACT>
