View Rule

In the fall 2020, the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) is expected to adopt a binding resolution regarding conservation measures for tropical tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) during 2021. As required under the Tuna Conventions Act, 16 U.S.C. 951 et seq., this rulemaking action would implement that resolution domestically.  Provisions to be implemented include those expected for tropical tuna (bigeye, yellowfin, and skipjack) for 2021, and potentially beyond if the IATTC resolution applies beyond 2021.  Additionally, should the IATTC resolution do so, as is expected, this rulemaking action would continue to apply provisions of currently applicable regulations for purse seine vessels of class sizes 4-6 (carrying capacity greater than 182 metric tons (mt)) fishing for tropical tuna in the EPO. This includes a 72-day closure, a time/area closure in the EPO for 31 days, and a requirement that all tropical tuna be retained on board and landed, except fish considered unfit for human consumption for reasons other than size. The rule is expected to continue to allow a single exception on the final set of a trip, when there may be insufficient well space remaining to accommodate all the tuna caught in that set. The rule is also expected to continue to limit catch of bigeye tuna by longline vessels greater than 24 meters in overall length to 750 metric tons per year.
