View Rule

This rule would establish the 2024 harvest specifications and allocations for Pacific Whiting.  Through this rulemaking, NMFS would announce the U.S. Total Allowable Catch (TAC) level determined under the terms of the Agreement with Canada on Pacific Hake/Whiting (Agreement) and the Pacific Whiting Act of 2006 (Whiting Act) and set the interim allocation for the tribal fishery; the fishery harvest guideline (HG), called the non-tribal allocation, for three commercial whiting sectors; and set-asides for research and bycatch. As in prior years, the interim tribal allocation is not intended to set a precedent for future years. This action would be implemented pursuant to the rulemaking authority under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA) 304(b) (Regulations Deemed Necessary by Council)and MSA section 305(d) (Secretarial authority), and the Pacific Whiting Act of 2006. Pursuant to MSA section 305(d), this action is necessary to ensure that the Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan is implemented in a manner consistent with treaty rights of four treaty tribes to fish in their usual and accustomed grounds and stations in common with non-tribal citizens. United States v. Washington, 384 F. Supp. 313 (W.D. Wash. 1974). The harvest specifications that would be implemented by this action would be in effect for the Pacific Whiting fishery that opens May 01, 2024 through December 31, 2024.
