Title: Guidance for Annual Catch Limits and Accountability Measures To End Overfishing
Abstract: Section 104(b) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of 2006 (MSRA), requires that in fishing year 2010, for fisheries determined by the Secretary to be subject to overfishing, and in fishing year 2011, for all other fisheries, that fishery management plans establish annual catch limits (ACLs), including regulations and annual specifications, at a level such that overfishing does not occur in a fishery, including measures to ensure accountability. The National Marine Fisheries Service intends to prepare guidance on how to establish adequate ACLs and AMs by revising its National Standard 1 (NS1) guidelines at 50 CFR 600.310.
