Title: ●2021 Pacific Whiting Harvest Specifications Including Interim Tribal Allocation; Pacific Coast Groundfish | |
Abstract:
This rule would establish the 2021 adjusted U.S. Total Allowable Catch (TAC) level, interim tribal and non-tribal allocations, allocations for three commercial whiting sectors, and research and bycatch set-asides. Through this rulemaking, NMFS sets the U.S. TAC based on the coastwide TAC determined under the terms of the Agreement with Canada on Pacific Hake/Whiting (Agreement) and the Pacific Whiting Act of 2006 (Whiting Act), the interim allocation for the tribal fishery, the fishery harvest guideline, called the non-tribal allocation, and set asides for research and bycatch. As in prior years, the tribal allocation is an interim allocation that is not intended to set precedent for future years. The harvest specifications that would be implemented by this action would be in effect in time for the Pacific Whiting fishery that opens May 15, 2021 through December 31, 2021. |
