0648-BN21 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0648 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA 0600 Department of Commerce DOC Amendment 80 Sector Annual BSAI Pacific Halibut PSC Limits

On November 24, 2024, NMFS published a final rule to implement amendment 123 to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI) Management Area (BSAI FMP) (88 FR 82740). That final rule added Table 58 to part 679 (Amendment 80 Sector Annual BSAI Pacific Halibut PSC Limits) to establish the International Pacific Halibut Commission index and the NMFS Eastern Bering Sea index ranges in a table with the corresponding Prohibited Species Catch (PSC) limit at the intercepts of each index range. The final rule included an error in the formatting of Table 58 to part 679 that caused the column headings to be incorrectly aligned with the column contents. This correction fixes the error. The authority for this action is Section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
