Title: ●Amendment 63 to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska 
Abstract: This action would revise the FMP by moving skate species from the other species category to the target species category, allowing for management of skates as a target species. The draft regulations would revise Table 10 of 50 CFR 679 to establish skate maximum retainable amounts (MRAs) in other directed groundfish fisheries and to establish MRAs of other groundfish in the skate directed fishery. The definition of other species in the regulations will also be revised to remove skates from the other species list.
