ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: With this final rule, NMFS implements the 2005-2006 fishery
specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in the U.S.
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and
California. This rule includes the levels of the acceptable biological
catch (ABC) and optimum yields (OYS). The commercial OYS (the total
catch OYS reduced by tribal allocations and by amounts expected to be
taken in recreational and resource survey compensation fisheries) in
this rule are allocated between the limited entry and open access
fisheries and between different sectors of the limited entry fleet.
Management measures for 2005-2006 are intended to: achieve but not
exceed OYS; prevent overfishing; rebuild overfished species; reduce and
minimize the bycatch and discard of overfished and depleted stocks;
provide equitable harvest opportunity for the recreational and
commercial fishing sectors; and, within the commercial fisheries,
achieve harvest guidelines and limited entry and open access
allocations to the extent practicable.
DATES: Effective January 1, 2005.

Background
A proposed rule to implement the 2005-2006 specifications and
management measures for Pacific coast groundfish was published on
September 21, 2004 (69 FR 56550). NMFS requested public comment on the
proposed rule through October 21, 2004. During the comment period, NMFS
received five letters of comment, which are addressed later in the
preamble to this final rule. See the preamble to the proposed rule for
additional background information on the fishery and on this final
rule.
The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act) and the FMP require that NMFS implement actions
to prevent overfishing and to rebuild overfished stocks. Specifications
and management measures for 2005-2006 are designed to rebuild
overfished stocks consistent with statutory requirements through
constraining direct and incidental mortality, and to achieve as much of
the OYS as practicable for healthier groundfish stocks managed under
the FMP. In order to protect overfished species, allowable harvest
levels of healthy species will only be achieved where such harvest will
not deter rebuilding of overfished and depleted stocks. Commercial
management measures for 2005-2006 include landings limits, size limits,
gear restrictions, and time/area closures. Recreational management
measures include bag limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and time/
area closures. This final rule continues the coastwide depth-based
management program that NMFS introduced in 2003, which closes portions
of the continental shelf to fishing for groundfish and to fishing for
many non-groundfish species in fisheries that take groundfish
incidentally. These closures are intended to protect and rebuild
overfished groundfish species.
Comments and Responses
During the comment period for the 2005-2006 specifications and
management measures, which ended on October 21, 2004, NMFS received
five letters of comment. One letter was received from a member of the
public, two of these letters were received from non-governmental
organizations representing environmental interests, and the fourth
letter was received from the California Department of Fish and Game
(CDFG). NMFS also received a letter of comment from the Council,
summarizing its discussions at its September 2004 meeting on limited
refinements to its 2005-2006 specifications and management measures
recommendations. Those recommendations are discussed below in the
section on Changes from the Proposed Rule. Comments received on the
proposed rule are addressed here:
Comment 1: A commenter stated that the Magnuson-Stevens Act
requires NMFS to rebuild overfished species as quickly as possible,
citing 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(4)(A). This commenter further stated that the
fishing harvest levels NMFS proposes for nearly all the overfished
Pacific groundfish species in the proposed specifications fail to
comply with this legal requirement because they delay rebuilding for
many years.
Response: The commenter states that overfished species must be
rebuilt as quickly as possible. The Magnuson-Stevens Act, however,
states that rebuilding periods shall ``(i) be as short as possible,
taking into account the status and biology of any overfished stocks of
fish, the needs of fishing communities, recommendations by
international organizations in which the United States participates,
and the interaction of the overfished stock of fish within the marine
ecosystem; and (ii) not exceed 10 years, except in cases where the
biology of the stock of fish, other environmental conditions, or
management measures under an international agreement in which the
United States participates dictate otherwise.'' [16 U.S.C.
1854(e)(4)(A)(i) and (ii)]
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 600.310(e)(4)(ii)(B) provide guidance
on the lower and upper limits for rebuilding periods:
[[Page 77013]]
``(B) These factors enter into the specification of the time period
for rebuilding as follows:
(1) The lower limit of the specified time period for rebuilding is
determined by the status and biology of the stock or stock complex and
its interactions with other components of the marine ecosystem, and is
defined as the amount of time that would be required for rebuilding if
fishing mortality were eliminated entirely.
(2) If the lower limit is less than 10 years, then the specified
time period for rebuilding may be adjusted upward to the extent
warranted by the needs of fishing communities and recommendations by
international organizations in which the United States participates,
except that no such upward adjustment can result in the specified time
period exceeding 10 years, unless management measures under an
international agreement in which the United States participates dictate
otherwise.
(3) If the lower limit is 10 years or greater, then the specified
time period for rebuilding may be adjusted upward to the extent
warranted by the needs of fishing communities and recommendations by
international organizations in which the United States participates,
except that no such upward adjustment can exceed the rebuilding period
calculated in the absence of fishing mortality, plus one mean
generation time or equivalent period based on the species' life-history
characteristics. For example, suppose a stock could be rebuilt within
12 years in the absence of any fishing mortality, and has a mean
generation time of 8 years. The rebuilding period, in this case, could
be as long as 20 years.
The overfished species harvest specifications implemented via this
final rule were set according to the rebuilding plans and rebuilding
parameters set for these species in the FMP and in Federal regulations.
Allowable rebuilding periods for the eight overfished species were
analyzed and discussed in and developed through Amendments 16-2 and 16-
3 to the FMP. Rebuilding plans for the eight overfished West Coast
groundfish species are found within the FMP at Section 4.5.4. Harvest
parameters to implement rebuilding requirements are found in Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 660.365.
In the preamble to the proposed rule for this action (69 FR 56550,
September 21, 2004), NMFS provided details for each overfished species
on minimum time to rebuild (TMIN), maximum time to rebuild
(TMAX) and target rebuilding time (TTARGET). All
of the minimum, maximum, and target rebuilding times for all of the
overfished species were determined following stock assessments and
rebuilding analyses for each species, using the best scientific
information available at the time of the assessment. None of the
overfished species, except lingcod, have TTARGET values
equal to or exceeding their TMAX values. Lingcod's
TTARGET and TMAX are both 2009, which is ten
years after lingcod was declared overfished and also in compliance with
the Magnuson-Stevens Act and national standard guidelines. All of the
TTARGET values for the overfished species were determined
following the requirements and guidance of the Magnuson-Stevens Act and
the national standard guidelines. Thus, the rebuilding periods for all
West Coast groundfish species and the harvest specifications
implemented herein for those species comply with the Magnuson-Stevens
Act; the commenter's assertion is incorrect.
Comment 2: One commenter stated that the harvest levels NMFS
proposed conflict with NMFS's ``Technical Guidance on the Use of the
Precautionary Approaches to Implementing National Standard 1 of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act'' (Technical
Guidance). This commenter stated that the Technical Guidance directs
NMFS to select overfished species harvest levels that have a 90-percent
probability of rebuilding before TMAX and that result in a
rebuilding period no longer than the midpoint between TMIN
and TMAX. Further, this commenter stated that the OYS NMFS
proposed for overfished species violate one or both of these
directives. A second commenter stated that, under the Technical
Guidance, overfished species harvest levels should be set so that the
probability of achieving rebuilding by TMAX should be 90-percent or
greater for those species whose assessments involve uncertainty. This
second commenter also supported rebuilding periods no longer than the
midpoint between TMIN and TMAX.
Response: NMFS has discussed this issue thoroughly in the preambles
to its final rules to implement Amendment 16-1 (69 FR 8861, February
26, 2004,) Amendment 16-2 (69 FR 19347, April 13, 2004) and Amendment
16-3 (69 FR 57874, September 28, 2004.) These same commenters submitted
these same comments on those rules and NMFS responded to those comments
in each of those final rules. NMFS herein summarizes its responses to
these comments and refers interested readers to the cited final rules
for further information.
The first commenter is incorrect in calling the Technical Guidance
a ``directive.'' The Technical Guidance is not a binding regulation
that must be followed. As mentioned in the Preface to the Technical
Guidance itself, it provides guidance on ``those aspects of scientific
fishery management advice that have biological underpinnings'' and it
recognizes that there are other important factors for fisheries
management, such as the social and economic goals of the Magnuson-
Stevens Act. Overfished species rebuilding plan probabilities of
achieving BMSY within TMAX years that are less
than 90 percent, and TTARGET dates that are greater than the midpoint
between TMIN and TMAX, have been established in
order to meet varying needs of West Coast fishing communities. As
discussed in the response to Comment 1, all of the TTARGET dates for
all of the overfished species are in compliance with the Magnuson-
Stevens Act and the national standard guidelines.
Comment 3: A commenter referred to the Technical Guidance, stating
that agreed upon fishing mortality rates and strategies to rebuild
depleted species should be upheld when large year classes appear to
ensure a successful rebuilding plan.
Response: The response to Comment 2 explained the status of the
Technical Guidance. Amendments 16 2 and 16-3 amended the FMP to include
overfished species rebuilding plans for lingcod, canary rockfish,
darkblotched rockfish, Pacific ocean perch (POP), cowcod, bocaccio,
yelloweye rockfish, and widow rockfish within the FMP. To implement
these plans, two rebuilding parameters were added to the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) for each overfished stock, the target year
for rebuilding and the harvest control rule. The target year for
rebuilding (TTARGET)is the year in which there is a 50
percent likelihood that the stock will have been rebuilt with a given
mortality rate. The harvest control rule expresses a given fishing
mortality rate that is to be used over the course of rebuilding. These
parameters are used to establish the annual OYS.
The FMP also provides that, after a new stock assessment, if the
Council and NMFS conclude that either or both the target year for
rebuilding and the harvest control rule defined in regulation should be
revised, the revision will be implemented through notice and comment
rulemaking, and the updated values codified in the Federal regulation.
Any change to a harvest control rule must be fully supported by a
corresponding analysis.
[[Page 77014]]
The harvest control rule for lingcod is being revised by this
action from F=0.0531 to F=0.17 in the north and from F=0.061 to F=0.15
in the south. These revisions are being made because of new data that
became available from a new stock assessment and a revised rebuilding
analysis. Rebuilding projections for the northern areas, if considered
in isolation, indicate that the stock is above the rebuilt threshold of
B40%. However, the southern portion of the stock has not yet rebuilt.
When the total biomass is viewed coastwide, it is less than 1 percent
below the rebuilt target of B40%.
For lingcod, the new assessment and rebuilding plan results
indicated that the same TTARGET as is currently in regulation (69 FR
19347; April 13, 2004) could be maintained, but would allow a higher
harvest rate while also increasing the probability of rebuilding the
stock to TTARGET from 60 percent to 70 percent. The Magnuson-Stevens
Act requires the Secretary of Commerce to review the adequacy of
rebuilding plans at intervals that may not exceed 2 years. The
rebuilding plans for all eight overfished species will be reviewed
following their 2005 stock assessments. The Council's Scientific and
Statistical Committee (SSC) is also drafting revisions to its
Rebuilding Analyses Terms of Reference to incorporate rebuilding plan
adequacy reviews. These reviews will aid NMFS and the Council in
determining how and whether harvest targets and management measures
need to be revised for the 2007 2008 fishing period.
Comment 4: A commenter stated that the PFMC has not adhered to its
FMP's 40-10 policy (at Section 4.5 of the FMP) in developing its
alternatives for 2005-2006 harvest levels for species in the
precautionary zone (between B25 and B40
abundance.)
Response: The Council uses a precautionary policy, which was
adopted as guidance in 1999 through Amendment 11 to the FMP, for
setting OYS. The precautionary policy, also referred to as the 40-10
harvest policy, is intended to prevent species or stocks from becoming
overfished. The biomass level needed to produce maximum sustainable
yield (MSY) is referred to as BMSY. The Council uses 40
percent of a stock's unfished biomass as a default proxy for
BMSY, or B40%. If the stock biomass is larger
than BMSY, the OY may be set equal to or less than ABC. A
stock with a current biomass between 25 percent of the unfished level
(B25%) and the BMSY precautionary threshold is
said to be in the ``precautionary zone.'' The Council's 40-10 policy
reduces the fishing mortality rate when a stock is at or below its
precautionary threshold. The lower a stock is in that B25%-
B40% range, the greater the reduction in OY relative to the
ABC. This is a default rebuilding policy for precautionary zone species
that is intended to foster a quicker return to the BMSY
level for those species. Stocks that fall below the B25% level are
designated as overfished. Each of the eight overfished groundfish
stocks is managed with species-specific harvest levels intended to
rebuild that stock within its target rebuilding date, rather than with
the default 40-10 policy. For further information on the 40-10 policy,
see the preamble of the final rule to implement Amendment 16-1 (69 FR
8861, February 26, 2004) or the FMP at Section 4.5.
In 2005 and 2006, three stocks previously known to be in the
precautionary zone were identified in section 2.4.2 of the FEIS for
this action: Dover sole, sablefish, and shortspine thornyhead north. As
discussed in the footnotes to Tables 1a-2b in this rule and in those
same tables for and the preamble to the proposed rule for this action,
the 2005 and 2006 OYS for these three precautionary zone species are
all based on the 40-10 harvest policy. The first stock assessment for
cabezon was prepared in 2003 for use in setting the 2005 and 2006
specifications and management measures. As a result of this stock
assessment, cabezon was believed to be at 34.7 percent of its unfished
biomass, which also makes it a precautionary zone stock. A description
of the stock assessment and further discussion on the alternative ABCs
and OYS may be found in the preamble of the proposed rule for this
action (69 FR 56550, September 21, 2004).
During the specifications development process for 2005 and 2006,
three alternative OYS were considered for each year for cabezon. The
low OY alternatives of 44 mt for 2005 and 63 mt for 2006 were based on
a harvest rate proxy of F50% with the application of the 60-
20 harvest policy. A 60-20 harvest policy is used by the state of
California for nearshore species in which the biomass is estimated to
be within the precautionary zone, below 60 percent of their unfished
biomass. The 60-20 harvest policy is similar to the 40-10 harvest
policy described above, in that it reduces the fishing mortality rate
when a stock is at or below its precautionary threshold. The difference
is that the precautionary threshold is set at 60 percent of a stock's
unfished biomass rather than at 40 percent. The OY is reduced in
relation to the ABC, until, at B20%, the OY would be set at
zero. California uses this more precautionary policy for its nearshore
species to buffer against the strong fishing effort levels in
California's nearshore waters. The mid-range OY alternatives of 69 mt
for both 2005 and for 2006 were based on a constant harvest rate
recommended by the CDFG. The high OY alternatives of 91 mt for 2005 and
107 mt for 2006 were based on the harvest rate proxy of F45% with the
application of the 40-10 harvest policy. The Council considered these
alternatives at its April 2004 meeting and recommended an ABC of 103 mt
for 2005 and 108 mt for 2006, with a constant harvest OY of 69 mt for
each year. Using a constant harvest rate over the 2 year period is
expected to help stabilize the fishery and management measures.
Thus, the commenter is correct in stating that cabezon OY for 2005
and 2006 is not based on a strict 40-10 harvest policy. This is because
the 40-10 harvest policy was the high OY option and the OY that is
being adopted is a more conservative option. Adopting an OY that is
more conservative than the 40-10 is expected to foster quicker return
to the MSY level and is not contrary to the FMP. There are no other
stocks in the precautionary zone.
Comment 5: A commenter urged NMFS to adopt catch levels that
achieve OY on a continuing basis, saying that the MSY harvest levels
should be treated as harvest limits that are rarely exceeded and that
OY should be used as a management target safely below the MSY
threshold.
Response: The harvest specifications implemented via this final
rule are intended to achieve OY on a continuing basis. They are based
on the requirements of and guidance from the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the
national standard guidelines, and the FMP. Harvest specifications for
overfished species are specific to and based on the rebuilding needs of
each particular stock. Under the FMP ABCs are set at the MSY level. As
discussed in the response to Comment 4, species in what the FMP refers
to as the precautionary zone are managed with the 40-10 harvest policy
to reduce OY from ABC. Species with less rigorous or no stock
assessments are also managed using precautionary policies, described in
the footnotes to Tables 1a-2b. In brief, those that have less rigorous
stock assessments have OYS that are 56.25 percent of their ABCs and
those that have no quantifiable stock assessments have OYS that are
37.5 of their ABCs.
Stocks that are above B40% and which have been assessed
through formal stock assessments are permitted under the FMP to have
their harvest specifications
[[Page 77015]]
set so that OY=ABC. These stocks in 2005-2006 are: petrale sole,
arrowtooth flounder, chilipepper rockfish, yellowtail rockfish,
longspine thornyhead, and black rockfish. Pacific whiting was also in
this category in 2004, but its assessment for 2005 is not yet complete.
Other species, such as blackgill rockfish, are estimated be above
B40%, but have had precautionary reductions to their harvest
levels because they have not been rigorously assessed. Some of these
more abundant stocks, such as chilipepper, have also had their OYS
reduced from their ABCs in order to prevent strong target fishing on
stocks that co-occur with overfished species. Management measures to
constrain the incidental catch of overfished species will result in the
OYS of most of the more abundant species not being fully harvested in
2005 and 2006.
NMFS is in the process of revising its National Standard 1
guidelines. Through that process, NMFS is considering the commenter's
idea that OY levels for all species be set below MSY levels. To revise
the National Standard 1 guidelines, NMFS will issue a proposed rule and
provide a public comment period. The agency urges the commenter and
others to track this process and review the proposed revisions to the
national standard guidelines when they become available. NMFS has
provided a preliminary study of revisions to the guidelines and draft
regulatory language online at: http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/domes_fish/index.htm#PR. The agency expects to publish a proposed rule
discussing these potential revisions in January 2005.
Comment 6: A commenter stated that in proposing fishing harvest
levels for the eight overfished groundfish species, NMFS has failed to
disclose and consider adequately the total fishing mortality for these
species in recent years, including repetitive overharvest for many of
these species in recent years. This commenter further stated that in
doing so, NMFS violated the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C.
1853(a)(5), violated the reasoned decisionmaking duties imposed by the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the environmental analysis and
disclosure obligations imposed by the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). This same commenter had commented on the EIS for this action
and incorporated the comments they had provided on the EIS into the
comments on the proposed rule for this action.
Response: Fishing mortality estimates of overfished groundfish
species, also referred to as total catch estimates, are calculated by
summing the best available data from recreational fishing, research
activities, non-groundfish fishing, and commercial (including exempted
fishing permit (EFP) fishing) fishing. The total catch values for the
commercial fisheries, where discard mortality occurs at-sea, include
both the landed catch values and at-sea discard mortality estimates.
NMFS's bycatch and total catch modeling efforts were discussed in the
preamble to the proposed rule for this action.
The commenter incorrectly states that NMFS has failed to disclose
total fishing mortality for overfished species in recent years.
Numerous tables in the FEIS provide historical total catch estimates
that include data from recent years as well as projected total catch
estimates of overfished species for 2005 and 2006. Overall total catch
estimates for 2002 and 2003 from commercial fisheries (including EFP
fishing), tribal and recreational fisheries are presented in Tables 4-1
and 4-2 of the FEIS. These tables display the total catch ABC and OY
values (exceeding the ABC is considered overfishing), total landed
catch, estimated total discard mortality, and an estimate of total
catch (landed catch plus discard mortality). Total catch estimates from
research activities in 2002 and 2003 are summarized in Tables 2-6 to 2-
7. Tables 2-8 and 2-9 contain projections of scientific research catch
for 2005 and 2006, which are based on the historic scientific
activities. In addition, historical total catch is also incorporated
into stock assessments. Landed catch and discard values can be found in
the various stock assessments.
The commenter is also incorrect in stating that NMFS has failed to
consider adequately the total fishing mortality of overfished species
in recent years, including years in which the OY was exceeded
(overharvested). The potential risk of exceeding the OY was disclosed
in Section 9.7 of the FEIS, as part of the discussion of unavoidable
adverse impacts. It is disclosed that overfishing is a potential
adverse impact that could jeopardize the sustainability of a stock.
However, this discussion emphasized that this is a potential adverse
effect, which would depend on a continuing mis-specification of harvest
levels or an inability to constrain total mortality to correctly
specified OYS. NMFS addresses the effects of past over-harvest by
accounting for historical harvests in the stock assessments used to set
OYS. These analyses, which are discussed in Section 4.3 of the FEIS,
form the basis for the range of OYS considered in the EIS. In addition,
for fisheries that have shown a risk of exceeding the OY in the past,
the Council has set more precautionary management measures in order to
reduce the chance of exceeding the OY. For example, high catch rates in
the California recreational groundfish fishery during 2003, which
contributed to overfishing of lingcod stocks, were given greater weight
in the catch projection model for 2005-2006 used to develop management
measures for that fishery, resulting in more restrictive management
measures.
Finally, NMFS responded to comments on the EIS from this commenter
within the FEIS for this action. Those comments and agency responses
are not included herein, but are available from the Council (see
ADDRESSES).
Comment 7: A commenter recommended that, on an annual basis, NMFS
and/or the Council should compare annual total mortality levels with
specified OY values to determine if any overages have occurred. This
commenter further recommended that, if overages have occurred, an
inseason adjustment be made to the current year's OYS to compensate for
the prior year's overages.
Response: The purpose of harvest limits is to achieve, ``on a
continuing basis, the OY from each fishery'' (50 CFR 600.310(a.)) It is
not NMFS' practice to adjust OYS for one year by the overages or
underages from previous years. NMFS makes adjustments to harvest limits
(ABCs and OYS) after conducting an assessment of the population of a
particular species, an assessment that occurs every 2-4 years. However,
NMFS and the Council continually address over- and under-harvests by
adjusting management measures to try to achieve, but not exceed OYS.
(OYS of several of the more abundant stocks will, of necessity, not be
achieved in order to protect co-occurring overfished species.)
Management measures are adjusted inseason using the best available
scientific information. For example, after the 2003-2004 limited entry
trawl and fixed gear observer program data becomes available in January
2005, it will be incorporated into the bycatch model for inseason use
in management of the 2005 fisheries. In addition, NMFS is required to
report annually to Congress on the status of overfished species and on
whether overfishing has occurred on any managed species or species
group (http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/reports.html#sos).
Comment 8: A commenter stated that the darkblotched rockfish OY
proposed by NMFS is the same as the ABC
[[Page 77016]]
proposed for darkblotched rockfish. This commenter further stated that
both the Magnuson-Stevens Act and the FMP bar NMFS from setting the OY
for an overfished species at that species' ABC. The commenter cited the
Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 U.S.C. 1802(28), stating that the Act
requires NMFS to set OYS for rebuilding species at a level below that
which would result in the maximum sustained yield from the fishery, in
order to allow for rebuilding. The commenter also cited the FMP at 4.6
as reading ``Reduction in catches or fishing rates for either
precautionary or rebuilding purposes is an important component of
converting values of ABC to values of OY.''
Response: When setting the 2005 and 2006 ABCs, the Council again
followed its policy of using a default harvest rate as a proxy for the
fishing mortality rate that is expected to achieve MSY. Since 2001, the
Council has used the following harvest rate proxies to set ABC values
at MSY values: F40% for flatfish, F50% for
rockfish (including thornyheads), and F45% for other
groundfish such as sablefish and lingcod. The 2005-2006 OYS were set at
levels that are expected to prevent overfishing; they are equal to or
less than the ABCs. For overfished species, the OYS are consistent with
adopted rebuilding plans, which allow each stock to rebuild within a
period of time specific to that stock. For further discussion on the
process for setting OYS, see the Amendment 16-2 final rule preamble's
response to Comment 7 (69 FR 19347, April 13, 2004.)
A rebuilding analysis projects stock growth into the future given
specific parameters. These parameters include potential growth of the
stock, referred to as recruitment, or the amount of young fish that
mature and enter the fishery. The rebuilding analysis methodology uses
a Monte Carlo simulation technique in which many simulations project
the change in a stock's biomass over time for a given fishing mortality
rate, and is based on the biological characteristics of the species,
including the known recruitment variability. A rebuilding analysis is
different from a stock assessment which uses past biological and
fishery information to judge the current state of the stock.
Selecting OYS for species managed under rebuilding plans is a
different process than that used for species managed under the 40-10
harvest policy or the precautionary approach taken in setting OYS for
species with no stock assessments or only rudimentary ones. For species
without rebuilding plans, the ABC is the starting point and
precautionary deductions are made to derive the OY.
Because darkblotched rockfish has been designated as an overfished
species, a rebuilding analysis was prepared and a rebuilding plan was
implemented in 2004. The 2003 stock assessment update and rebuilding
analysis for darkblotched rockfish showed a sensitivity to relatively
high 2000 and 2001 recruitment estimates (numbers of young fish from
the 2000 and 2001 year classes that are expected to grow large enough
to be caught in the fisheries.) Including recruitment estimates from
2000 and 2001 in the rebuilding analysis resulted in higher OY
estimates because those recruits are predicted to enter the fishery and
help rebuild the stock before the maximum allowable time. The ABCs on
the other hand, were not as affected because the 2000 and 2001 recruits
are too small to have already entered the fishery.
The darkblotched rockfish OYS being adopted for 2005 and 2006 are
based on the species' rebuilding analysis using the recruitment
estimates from the 2000 year class, but not from the 2001 year class.
Using 2000 as the last year for recruitment estimates is more
conservative than using model runs where the last year of recruitment
estimates were from 2001, as was considered during the adoption of 2004
specifications and the darkblotched rockfish rebuilding plan. At that
time, the Stock Assessment Review (STAR) panel had recommended that the
model include the 2000 year class recruitment estimate, in order to
balance the conflicting effects of the need to use the most recent
information and the higher uncertainty levels associated with the most
recent information on the sizes of younger year classes. The Council's
recommendation was consistent with the STAR panel's recommendation. The
OY generated from the rebuilding analysis was greater than the ABC
generated from the stock assessment, both of which were reviewed by the
Council's SSC. However, the Council recognized that they could not set
a species' OY to exceed its ABC, and therefore recommended that the
2004 darkblotched rockfish OY be set equal to its 240 mt ABC. No new
darkblotched rockfish stock assessment or rebuilding analysis was
conducted in 2004, thus the 2005-2006 ABC and OY values are based on
the 2003 stock assessment update and rebuilding analysis.
The commenter is incorrect in stating that the Magnuson-Stevens Act
and the FMP bar NMFS from setting the OY for an overfished species at
that species' ABC. The Magnuson-Stevens Act defines OY as being a value
based on MSY; as reduced by any relevant economic, social, or
ecological factor. Because of the rebuilding analysis, no factors
require a reduction from the ABC to establish the darkblotched rockfish
OY. An OY must be no higher than MSY for all stocks. For overfished
fisheries (stocks), the OYS must be based upon a rebuilding schedule
that increases stocks' biomass levels to those that would produce MSY
within an appropriate time frame. On April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19347),
Amendment 16-2 to the groundfish FMP implemented a rebuilding plan for
darkblotched rockfish. The OYS being adopted for 2005 and 2006 are
based on the darkblotched rockfish rebuilding plan. For darkblotched
rockfish the ABC and OY for 2005 are being set at 269 mt and the ABC
and OY for 2006 are being set at 294 mt.
Comment 9: A commenter stated that ``NMFS's proposed fishing
harvest level for darkblotched rockfish violates the Magnuson-Stevens
Act and the APA because it fails to correct, or even give reasoned
consideration to correcting, for repetitive overharvests of the species
in recent years.'' This commenter further stated that NMFS has more
often exceeded its darkblotched rockfish OYS than has complied with
them in recent years, which the commenter considers relevant factors
within the meaning of the APA's requirement for reasoned
decisionmaking.
Response: A full coastwide stock assessment for darkblotched
rockfish was prepared for 2000. This stock assessment was updated in
2001 with data from the 2000 slope survey conducted by the Alaska
Fisheries Science Center (AFSC)and available 2000 fishery data. In 2003
the assessment was updated for the 2003 rebuilding analysis and further
added 2001 AFSC slope and shelf survey data and fishery data through
2002. As stated above, NMFS addresses the effects of past over-harvest
during new stock assessments by accounting for historical harvests in
the stock. These stock assessments are used as the basis for rebuilding
plans, which define the range of OYS for overfished species.
As described below, the darkblotched rockfish OY was exceeded in
2001 and 2002, but not in 2003. The ABC was not exceeded in any of
these years, so there was no ``overfishing'' during these years. Tables
on Page 4 of the July 11, 2003, darkblotched rockfish stock status and
rebuilding update display the harvest estimates (total catch estimates
available at the time of the update for 2001 and 2002) that were
incorporated into the analysis. In this comment, when the commenter
uses the term
[[Page 77017]]
``overharvesting'' NMFS assumes that the commenter is using this term
to indicate that the OY has been exceeded. The total estimated 2001
catch of darkblotched rockfish that was used in the rebuilding analysis
was 161 mt, the 2001 ABC was a range between 302 and 349 mt and the
total catch OY was 130 mt. Although the OY was exceeded, the ABC was
not exceeded, therefore overfishing did not occur on darkblotched
rockfish in 2001.
Overall 2002 and 2003 total catch estimates from commercial
fisheries (including EFP fishing), tribal, and recreational fisheries
are presented in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the FEIS. Total catch estimates
for research activities in recent years are summarized in Tables 2-6 to
2-7. In 2002, the total estimated catch of darkblotched rockfish was
202.28 mt, the 2002 ABC was 205 mt and the total catch OY was 168 mt.
Though the OY was exceeded, the ABC was not, therefore overfishing did
not occur on darkblotched rockfish in 2002. In 2003, the total
estimated catch of darkblotched rockfish was 144.9 mt, the 2003 ABC was
205 mt and the total catch OY was 172 mt. Neither the ABC or the OY
were exceeded, therefore overfishing did not occur on darkblotched
rockfish in 2003. Table 2-7 was incorrectly labeled as 2002 in the DEIS
which may have lead the commenter to believe that an additional 5 mt of
darkblotched rockfish had been taken in 2002. This typographical error
was corrected in the FEIS.
In September 2004, the total catch of darkblotched rockfish was
believed to have reached the 2004 OY, which is the same as the ABC.
Therefore, NMFS made 2004 inseason fishery adjustments that were
intended to drastically reduce the total mortality of darkblotched
rockfish. As a result of projected overfishing in 2004 and to prevent
overharvest in 2005 and 2006, the Council recommended enlarging the
trawl Rockfish Conservation Area (trawl RCA) in 2005-2006 by moving the
seaward boundary of the limited entry trawl RCA north of 38[deg] N.
lat. from a boundary line approximating the 150 fm (274 m) depth
contour to one approximating the 200 fm (366 m) depth contour, with
petrale sole fishing areas open in January-February and November-
December. In addition, since the same trawl RCA also generally applies
to the open access non-groundfish trawl fisheries, NMFS is extending
this change to the open access non-groundfish trawl fleet between
40[deg]10' N. lat. and 38[deg] N. lat. The Council also recommended
reducing their initially-recommended slope rockfish trip limit north of
38[deg] N. lat. from 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) to 4,000 lbs (1,814 kg) per
two months. These recommendations were based on higher-than-expected
incidental catches of darkblotched rockfish in 2004 resulting from
trawl vessels targeting slope rockfish offshore of the trawl RCA. The
Council recommended the reduced trip limits to allow slope rockfish
retention at incidental levels in the DTS (Dover sole, thornyheads,
sablefish) fishery without encouraging directed slope rockfish
targeting. NMFS concurred with the Council's recommendation and has
made the appropriate changes to the trawl RCAs and trip limits.
For 2005 and 2006, the predicted total darkblotched rockfish
fishing mortality from all directed and incidental groundfish fisheries
and research activities is expected to be substantially lower than the
annual OYS (these values can be found in the footnotes to Table 1a).
These darkblotched rockfish mortality savings are a secondary benefit
of management measures intended to constrain canary rockfish total
mortality. Designing management measures that result in total mortality
levels that are lower than a species' OY leaves a residual amount of
available harvest. This residual amount can reduce the risk of
exceeding a species OY, particularly when there are difficulties in
catch accounting or when new information becomes available that changes
NMFS' understanding of total catch.
In summary, NMFS disagrees with the commenter's assertion that
NMFS's proposed fishing harvest level for darkblotched rockfish fails
to correct or give reasoned consideration to correcting, for having
exceeded the OY (overharvests) in recent years. NMFS has disclosed
recent total catch levels of darkblotched rockfish in relation to the
annual ABCs and total catch OYS. As fishery data has become available,
it has been incorporated into assessments, assessment updates and the
rebuilding analyses. NMFS has modified 2005-2006 management measures
following the September 2004 Council meeting when it was determined
that overharvest might occur in 2004. This reconsideration resulted in
changes to this final rule that are intended to keep the harvest of
darkblotched rockfish within its OY.
Comment 10: A commenter stated that the proposed specifications,
including but not limited to those for canary rockfish, fail to correct
for past overharvests of overfished species or even to give reasoned
consideration to correcting for those past overharvests.
Response: Fishing mortality, the rate at which animals are removed
from the stock as a result of fishing, is incorporated into the stock
assessment models. It is important for stock assessment scientists to
use data regarding stock growth and mortality (fishing and natural) to
understand the level of fishing a stock can sustain such that enough
fish survive to replenish the stock and, in the case of overfished
species, to rebuild it to the MSY level. As stated above, NMFS
addresses the effects of past overharvest during stock assessments by
accounting for historical harvests of the stock. These stock
assessments are used as the basis for rebuilding plans which define the
range of OYS for overfished species.
Table 2b from the 2001 canary rockfish stock assessment, which was
prepared in April 2002, shows the commercial and recreational canary
rockfish catch data from 1941-2001 that were used in the most recent
canary rockfish stock assessment model. This was the best data
available at the time of the assessment. The appropriate discard rates
were applied to commercial landings to derive estimates of total catch.
Similar data can also be found in the stock assessments for other
species.
Overall, total catch estimates for 2002 and 2003 from commercial
fisheries (including EFP fishing), tribal, and recreational fisheries
are presented in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 of the FEIS. Total catch estimates
for research activities in recent years are summarized in Tables 2-6 to
2-7. In 2002, the estimated total catch of canary rockfish was 109.7
mt, the 2002 ABC was 272 mt and the total catch OY was 93 mt. In 2003,
the estimated total catch of canary rockfish was 49.8 mt, the 2003 ABC
was 272 mt and the total catch OY was 44 mt. Although the OYS were
exceeded in both of these years, the ABC was not, therefore overfishing
did not occur on canary rockfish in 2002 or 2003. Similar data can also
be found in the FEIS for overfished and other species. Darkblotched
rockfish was addressed above in the response to Comment 9.
Canary rockfish are a schooling continental shelf rockfish taken in
commercial and recreational fisheries coastwide. In June 2004, the
Council's Groundfish Management Team (GMT) reported that a single
early-June tow taken by a catcher vessel operating in the whiting
mothership fishery was estimated to contain 3.9 mt of canary rockfish.
This single haul exceeded the 0.9 mt total catch projection for the
mothership sector. In response to the elevated catches of canary
rockfish in the whiting fishery, the Council requested that NMFS
implement an emergency rule that would allow
[[Page 77018]]
appropriate sectors of the commercial whiting fishery to be closed if
the impacts of the fishery on canary rockfish reached 7.3 mt for all
sectors combined. NMFS implemented this emergency authority on August
3, 2004 (69 FR 46448).
NMFS monitored the whiting fishery throughout the summer and fall
for its catch of overfished species, particularly canary and
darkblotched rockfish. Based on canary rockfish harvest in non-whiting
fisheries and the low canary bycatch rates in the whiting fishery
following the June Council meeting, the Council lowered the canary
rockfish bycatch limit on the whiting fisheries to 6.2 mt at its
September Council meeting. Additionally, the Council recommended a
limit of 9.5 mt of darkblotched rockfish bycatch in the whiting
fisheries. NMFS retained the emergency authority to close sectors of
the whiting fishery in between Council meetings. The Council
recommended to NMFS that the agency propose for the 2005-2006 fishing
period to retain mid-season whiting sector closure authority and to
exercise that authority if 7.3 mt of canary rockfish are taken in the
whiting fishery prior to the fishery's achieving the Pacific whiting
OY. The Council also recommended the same authority for mid-season
whiting sector closures if 231.8 mt in 2005 or 243.2 mt in 2006 of
widow rockfish are taken in the whiting fishery prior to the fishery's
achieving the Pacific whiting OY. As the 2005 and 2006 fishing seasons
progress, NMFS and the Council will monitor the fisheries to determine
whether additional or modified bycatch limits are necessary for the
whiting fisheries. Similar to 2004, bycatch limits of overfished
species would likely be based on the GMT's bycatch scorecard amounts.
NMFS concurs with this recommendation and has implemented it with this
action at Sec. 660.370(c)(1)(ii) and Sec. 660.373(b)(4).
In summary, NMFS finds that the commenter is incorrect in stating
that NMFS's proposed fishing harvest level for canary rockfish fails to
correct or give reasoned consideration to correcting, for having
exceeded the OY (overharvests) in recent years. NMFS has disclosed
recent total catch levels of canary rockfish in relation to the annual
ABCs and total catch OYS. As fishery data has become available, it has
been incorporated into assessments, assessment updates and the
rebuilding analyses. Management measures are designed, using the best
and most current information available, to keep harvests within OYS.
The Council's recommendations and NMFS's proposed rule were based in
part on their experiences managing the 2004 fisheries.
Comment 11: A commenter stated that NMFS has proposed to more than
triple the OY for lingcod, despite its admission that recruitment of
the 1999 year class is uncertain and that there is uncertainty in the
catch projections and the stock assessment for the species. This
commenter further stated that, in light of this uncertainty and the
lingcod overharvests in 2002 and 2003, NMFS cannot increase the rate of
lingcod harvest and still comply with its duties to prevent overfishing
and rebuild overfished species as quickly as possible. Finally, the
commenter stated that NMFS has claimed to make management changes to
address past lingcod overharvests, but that management changes made in
2003 to respond to 2002 overharvests were unsuccessful at preventing
overharvests in 2003.
Response: A new coastwide stock assessment was prepared for lingcod
in 2003. As a result of the revised assessment, the spawning stock
biomass was estimated to be at 31 percent of its unfished biomass in
the north and 19 percent of its unfished biomass in the south. This is
a substantial increase from the previous assessment which had estimated
the lingcod biomass to be at 15 percent coastwide in 2000. As a result
of the new adopted stock assessment, the coastwide ABCs will be 2,922
mt (1,874 north and 1,048 south) in 2005 and 2,716 mt, (1,694 north and
1,021 south) in 2006. NMFS recognizes that this is a large increase
from the 2004 ABC of 1,385 mt which was based on the previous
assessment.
A new rebuilding analysis was also prepared for lingcod. Rebuilding
projections for the northern areas, if considered in isolation,
indicate that the stock is above the rebuilt threshold of B40%. (It
should be noted that the assessment model estimate of current biomass
can differ from the estimate obtained from the rebuilding analysis,
because the rebuilding analysis computes B0 using average recruitment
from 1973-2002, while the Coleraine assessment model uses the estimate
of average recruitment in an unfished state (R0), and references the
2003 spawning biomass.) The southern portion of the stock has not yet
rebuilt. When the total biomass is viewed coastwide, it is less than 1%
percent below the rebuilt target of B40%.
The Council considered the alternative OYS and recommended the mid-
range OY, with the modification that the OY be fixed at 2,414 mt (the
2006 value, which was the lower of the two values) for both years. For
lingcod, the new assessment and rebuilding plan results indicated that
the same TTARGET as is currently in regulation for the
lingcod rebuilding plan (69 FR 19347; April 13, 2004) could be
maintained, but would allow a higher harvest rate while also increasing
the probability of rebuilding the stock by TMAX from 60
percent to 70 percent. The commenter is correct that this increase is
more than 3 times the 735 mt OY in 2004; however, the increase in the
OY conforms with the lingcod rebuilding plan and is not unexpected
given the increased size of the lingcod biomass.
In support of their selection, the Council indicated that the
lingcod harvest guidelines needed to be conservative because the 1999
year class is moving through the fishery and recruitment is uncertain.
There is uncertainty in catch projections and assessments, and the
Council did not want to see an increase in effort in the fishery. The
estimated mortality from all directed and incidental groundfish
fisheries and research activities are predicted to result in total
fishing mortality of lingcod that is substantially lower than the
annual OYS (these values can be found in the footnotes to Table 1a).
These lingcod mortality savings are a secondary benefit of management
measures intended to constrain canary rockfish total mortality.
Designing management measures that result in total mortality levels
that are lower than that species' OY leaves a residual amount of
available harvest. This residual amount can reduce the risk of
exceeding a species' OY, particularly when there are difficulties in
catch accounting or when new information becomes available that changes
NMFS' understanding of total catch.
Throughout the specification and management measure process, NMFS
has acknowledged the scientific uncertainty in setting ABCs and OYS and
has disclosed, in various supporting documents and in the rulemaking
process, the precautionary measures taken to address the inherent
uncertainty in fisheries management. Although greater scientific
certainty can improve management decisions, scientific uncertainty is
an inherent part of fisheries management. Uncertainties must be
acknowledged, as has been done within the stock assessments, FEIS, and
in the proposed rule supporting this action. In general, NMFS has been
precautionary when implementing measures to protect the fishery
resources against the harm that could result from those uncertainties.
Many other overfished species' rebuilding measures are intended to
[[Page 77019]]
acknowledge scientific uncertainty in fisheries management and to guard
against potential negative effects of that uncertainty.
In 2002, the estimated catch of lingcod was 983 mt, the 2002 ABC
was 841 mt and the total catch OY was 577 mt. In 2003, the estimated
catch of lingcod was 1,371.6 mt, the 2003 ABC was 841 mt and the total
catch OY was 651 mt. These total catch estimates for 2002 and 2003 were
updated with new observer program data on bycatch rates in summer 2004
for the FEIS for this action.
The commenter who submitted this particular comment also commented
on the proposed rule to implement the 2004 specifications and
management measures (69 FR 1380), stating that the agency needed to do
something about reducing the effect of the 2004 fisheries on lingcod.
This comment and NMFS's response are found in the final rule to
implement the 2004 specifications and management measures, see Comment
12 and response, 69 FR 11064, March 9, 2004. In short, NMFS
acknowledged that overfishing had occurred on lingcod in 2002 and 2003,
and that restrictive measures taken in 2003 had not been adequate to
prevent overfishing. The agency then detailed changes it had made
between the proposed and final rules for 2004 in order to further
constrain fishing, particularly in the recreational fishery off
California.
NMFS has revised its specifications and management measures process
through Amendment 17 to the FMP, in order to provide a public notice-
and-comment period on a proposed rule prior to the start of the fishing
year. This new process requires the agency to prepare the proposed and
final rules for the 2005-2006 specifications and management measures
prior to the completion of either the 2004 fishing year or the datasets
on total 2004 fishing mortality. NMFS anticipates that, as new 2004
fishing year data becomes available in 2005, the Council and NMFS will
consider whether revisions are needed to management measures intended
to constrain lingcod harvest. This final rule implements the California
recreational fishery measures initially proposed for this action, which
are more constraining in season length and area closures than those
implemented for 2004. Lingcod bag limit changes generally do not have
much effect on the overall catch of lingcod, since most anglers only
take one lingcod per trip.
Comment 12: A commenter stated that NMFS is proposing to manage
canary rockfish in an aggressively risky way that fails to offer the
protection it needs because it has provided only a small reserve in the
canary rockfish OY compared with those provided for lingcod, bocaccio
and darkblotched rockfish.
Response: As discussed in the preamble to the proposed rule for
this action, and in the footnotes to Tables 1a-2b, the canary rockfish
OY has been divided between the commercial, recreational, tribal, and
research fisheries. There is a small, residual amount of canary
rockfish, 2.5 mt in 2005 and 1.8 mt in 2006, that is currently not
projected to be harvested by these fisheries. This residual amount is
held in reserve for possible use during the 2005 and/or 2006 fisheries.
Also discussed in the preamble to the proposed rule for this action is
the fact that harvest restrictions to protect canary rockfish will
constrain all fisheries in their achievement of target species' OYS. A
secondary effect of the constraints required to protect canary rockfish
is protection for other, associated overfished species. The residual
amounts of lingcod, bocaccio, and darkblotched rockfish that may be
unharvested in 2005 and/or 2006 are expected to go unharvested because
canary rockfish co-occurs with these species. Management measures to
protect canary rockfish are not only constraining to the achievement of
target species OYS, they also keep harvests of other overfished species
below their OYS. In other words, NMFS expects there to be residual
unharvested amounts of lingcod, bocaccio, and darkblotched rockfish
because the harvest of these species will be restricted by canary
rockfish protection measures. To eliminate confusion over the use of
varying terms, NMFS has corrected the footnotes to Tables 1a-2b to
refer to the expected residual amounts of unharvest fish as ``residual
amounts'' not expected to be taken in any sector, rather than as
``reserves,'' which might be confused as being available to a
particular sector.
The trip limits are based on the best available information, and
are designed to keep harvests within the OYS. These residual amounts of
overfished species that are not currently projected to be harvested
result in part from the design of the overall fishery. They are not
specifically designed as a management tool to keep harvests under the
OY, but NMFS acknowledges this secondary benefit from the reserves.
These reserves reduce the need for intensive inseason management to
keep the harvest within the OY, and to reduce the risk of exceeding the
OY. However, the overall management regime balances these benefits and
risks with the other benefits and risks inherent in the management
system.
Comment 13: A commenter stated that NMFS's proposed status quo
management of canary rockfish violates the Magnuson-Stevens Act because
of the large overharvest of canary rockfish in recent years.
Response: NMFS discussed recent years' canary rockfish harvest in
the response to Comment 10. The 2002 total catch is estimated to be
16.7 mt above the OY of 93 mt and 162.3 mt below the ABC of 272 mt. The
2003 total catch is estimated to be 5.8 mt above the OY of 44 mt and
222.2 mt below the ABC of 272 mt.
The commenter has incorrectly asserted that NMFS has proposed
status quo management to protect canary rockfish and other overfished
species. The canary rockfish ABCs for 2005 and 2006 were set in
accordance with the Council's precautionary policy of setting rockfish
ABCs based on an F50% harvest rate. The 2005 and 2006 OYS for canary
rockfish were set in accordance with the FMP's overfished species
rebuilding plan for this species (Section 4.5.4) and implementing
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 660.365(a).
Canary rockfish are taken in a wide range of fisheries and NMFS has
revised management measures from 2004, particularly making them more
conservative in fisheries with a greater tendency to incidentally catch
canary rockfish. As discussed above in the response to Comment 10, NMFS
is implementing in this final rule a bycatch limit program for the
Pacific whiting fisheries. The mothership fishery for whiting took an
unexpected amount of canary rockfish in 2004, leading to an emergency
rule to establish a canary rockfish bycatch limit. For 2005 and 2006,
NMFS has implemented canary and widow rockfish bycatch limits for the
whiting fishery at Sec. 660.373(b)(4). Regulations at Sec.
660.370(c)(1)(ii) allow the Council and NMFS, via routine inseason
action, to establish new bycatch limits or adjust bycatch limits
inseason for overfished species taken in the whiting fisheries. NMFS
has also implemented a new requirement for a bycatch-reducing trawl
gear, the selective flatfish trawl gear, for use in nearshore waters
north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. As discussed in the preamble to the
proposed rule for this action, this modified trawl net design has shown
itself successful in several years of experiments at reducing
incidental rockfish catch in trawl fisheries targeting more abundant
flatfish. Management measures to control canary rockfish catch in the
[[Page 77020]]
California recreational fisheries are also more restrictive than in
2004, with shorter fishing seasons and larger closed areas.
Comment 14: A commenter stated that NMFS is not proposing to allow
for a harvest reserve for widow rockfish in 2005 or 2006. The commenter
asks why a significant harvest reserve is necessary for lingcod,
darkblotched, and bocaccio, but not for widow rockfish.
Response: As discussed above in the response to Comment 12, the
residual amounts of lingcod, darkblotched rockfish, and bocaccio that
are expected to go unharvested are the result of management measures
intended to constrain the harvest of canary rockfish. The Council did
not set specific harvest reserves for these species; rather, it has
simply indicated the amounts of these species expected to go
unharvested because the fisheries are constrained to protect canary
rockfish.
Widow rockfish is a schooling, pelagic shelf rockfish that is
similar to yellowtail rockfish in its open water schooling tendencies,
whereas canary rockfish tend to school near rockpiles. The bulk of the
widow rockfish OYS in 2005 and 2006 are expected to be taken in the
Pacific whiting fisheries, a primarily open water fishery. Although the
Pacific whiting biomass is estimated to be above B40%, NMFS reduced the
2004 whiting ABC from 514,441 mt to a 250,000 mt OY to protect co-
occurring widow rockfish from incidental catch in the whiting
fisheries. NMFS anticipates that the 2005 and 2006 ABCs for Pacific
whiting will be similarly large, and will again have to be reduced so
that the OYS are set at levels that protect widow rockfish. The at-sea
whiting fisheries will continue to be monitored inseason by mandatory
observers (69 FR 31751, June 7, 2004) with near realtime data while the
shore-based fishery will be monitored under a full retention program
which will have a monitoring mechanism and timely inseason data. The
whiting fishery may take less widow rockfish than expected; but as an
initial prediction, NMFS and the Council expect the whiting fisheries
to take the majority of the widow rockfish OYS in 2005 and 2006,
leaving little or no residual amounts of widow rockfish unharvested.
Given the level of inseason monitoring in the whiting fisheries, it is
reasonable to expect that fishing can be constrained to stay within the
specified limit for widow rockfish.
In 2004, the whiting harvest was constrained to 250,000 mt with an
estimated take of 211 mt of widow rockfish. Through the end of the
primary season, the preliminary estimate of widow rockfish in the
whiting fishery was 49.86 mt, well below the projected value of 211 mt.
However, because the incidental take of widow rockfish has been
associated with rare events where a substantial amount is taken in an
individual tow, effective monitoring is essential. In addition, NMFS
supports the at-sea whiting industry's efforts to self monitor bycatch
through the use of the Sea State program, in which bycatch data is
exchanged within the fleet so that the participating vessels can take
immediate action when bycatch concerns arise.
Comment 15: A commenter stated that, without explanation, NMFS
proposed to decrease slightly the cowcod OY for 2005 then to raise it
again for 2006. This commenter also stated that NMFS has proposed
substantial increases for bocaccio and yelloweye rockfish harvest
levels. Finally, the commenter stated that NMFS had failed to explain
these increases, thereby failing to meet its duties to engage in
reasoned decisionmaking, to prevent overfishing, and to rebuild
overfished species as quickly and effectively as possible.
Response: NMFS is not raising the cowcod OY for 2006. There was a
typographical error in the Table 2a 2006 OY for cowcod. With this final
rule, OYS for the Monterey and Conception areas have been revised from
2.4 mt for each to 2.1 mt for each, which is consistent with the
approved rebuilding plan for cowcod. Footnote ``y'' from Table 2a had
correctly stated this, and the ``Overfished Species'' section of the
preamble to the proposed rule for this action provided details from the
cowcod rebuilding plan, including the correct OY. A typo in the harvest
control value in footnote ``Y'' for Table 1a was identified and revised
from F=0.0009 to F=0.009. The F=0.009 is the rebuilding harvest rate in
Federal regulations implementing the cowcod rebuilding plan at Sec.
660.365(f) and was used to determine the 2005 and 2006 OYs for cowcod.
This harvest control rule was correctly listed in the ``Overfished
Species'' section of the proposed rule for this action.
The bases for the bocaccio and yelloweye rockfish OYS for 2005 and
2006 were explained in the footnotes to Tables 1a through 2b and in the
``Overfished Species'' section of the preamble to the proposed rule for
this action. These species are being managed in accordance with the
approved rebuilding plans at Section 4.5.4 of the FMP and implementing
Federal regulations at 50 CFR 660.365(a). Changes in the OYS result
when rebuilding harvest rates are applied to the annual biomass
projections from the most recent stock assessments. In this case, the
stocks are projected to have increased slightly, resulting in slight
increases to the OYS. An error in the harvest control rule in the
bocaccio footnote to Table 2a (2006) has been revised from F= 0.041 to
F=0.0498. The F=0.0498 is the rebuilding harvest rate in Federal
regulations implementing the bocaccio rebuilding plan at Sec.
660.365(e) and was used to determine the 2005 and 2006 OYS for
bocaccio. This harvest control rule was correctly listed in the
``Overfished Species'' section of the proposed rule for this action.
NMFS identified a typo in the PMAX value in Table 2-2 of the
FEIS the correct value is 80 percent (the value adopted for yelloweye
rockfish rebuilding under amendment 16-3.)
Comment 16: A commenter stated that NMFS has proposed to
dramatically shrink the size of the RCAs off the Pacific Coast. This
commenter was opposed to this proposal, stating that nothing has
changed that warrants a rolling back of these RCAs. This commenter
stated that doing so is forbidden by the Magnuson-Stevens Act because
it reduces the use of practicable bycatch-reduction measures, as
defined at 16 U.S.C. 1851(a)(9) and 1853(a)(11). This commenter also
states that since the RCAs serve to protect essential fish habitat
(EFH), they may not be abandoned or scaled back. And, this commenter
states that because the RCAs are used to prevent overfishing and
rebuild overfished species, scaling them back violates the Magnuson-
Stevens Act requirement to rebuild overfished stocks as quickly as
possible. The commenter states that NMFS has failed to explain the
roll-back in the size of the RCAs or to explain how the increased
mortality caused by the scaling back of the RCAs can be squared with
NMFS's legal obligations under the APA.
Response: RCAs are gear and fishery-specific, so that there is a
Trawl RCA, a Non-Trawl RCA, and a Recreational RCA. These RCAs vary in
size and in area covered depending on how the gear type affected
interacts with overfished species. For 2005 and 2006, NMFS is
implementing a status quo Non-Trawl RCA; a status quo Recreational RCA
off Washington and Oregon, and a Recreational RCA off California that
covers a larger area and which is closed for longer periods during the
year than in 2004. The Trawl RCA that NMFS initially proposed would
have allowed fishing in a larger area both shoreward and seaward of the
2004 Trawl RCA. However, as explained in the preamble to this final
rule in the section ``Changes from the Proposed Rule,'' this final rule
established the seaward boundary of the
[[Page 77021]]
RCA at 200 fm (369 m) throughout the year, with modifications for
petrale sole fishing areas in the winter months of January-February and
November-December. The final rule for the 2004 fisheries had this same
seaward boundary, except that it only extended to 150 fm (276 m) in the
July-August period. Therefore, the only changes in the Trawl RCA are
the increase in size from a deeper seaward boundary in July-August and
the shoreward boundary changes described below. The Trawl RCA
implemented here is 70.6 percent the size of the initially established
2004 Trawl RCA. The reductions in the size of the Trawl RCA are
detailed in Table 3-1 of the FEIS for this action.
The RCAs were intended and designed to reduce the bycatch of adult
life stage overfished species. For 2005 and beyond, NMFS is
implementing a new gear requirement for trawl vessels participating in
the area shoreward of the RCA north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. Council
discussion documents leading up to their final recommendations
including the results of a set of ODFW gear experiments, the EIS for
this action, and the preamble to the proposed rule all discussed the
new selective flatfish trawl gear and its rockfish bycatch-reduction
properties. Selective flatfish trawl gear reduces the bycatch of
rockfish in targeted flatfish fisheries, including overfished rockfish,
and increases the areas where trawl vessels may operate with lower
bycatch rates. Using a gear restriction in order to reduce the
restrictiveness of other fishery management measures is the FMP's
eighth objective. NMFS is able to reduce the size of the Trawl RCA in
2005-2006 because it has implemented this new trawl gear requirement.
This reduction in the size of the Trawl RCA as a result of the new gear
requirement was also explained in Council and NMFS background, NEPA,
and Federal Register documents. Thus, the commenter is incorrect in
asserting that NMFS has failed in its obligations to explain the
revision in the size of the RCAs. The commenter also draws an erroneous
conclusion in equating a reduction in the size of the RCAs with an
increase in rockfish mortality. NMFS expects that rockfish bycatch
mortality rates in the nearshore trawl fishery north of 40[deg]10' N.
lat. will be reduced with this new gear requirement. The combination of
the new gear requirement and the smaller RCA is projected to keep the
mortality of overfished species within the rebuilding OYS and allow
harvest of healthy stocks.
As stated above, the RCAs were designed to reduce the bycatch of
adult life-stage overfished species. Under Amendment 11 to the FMP,
groundfish EFH includes the entire West Coast EEZ. Thus, with the RCAs
being inside the EEZ and closed to fishing for groundfish, they do
afford some habitat protection for EFH from groundfish fishing gear.
They do not, however, target particular groundfish habitat for habitat
protection from fishing gear. NMFS is exploring measures for groundfish
habitat protection with its EIS on Groundfish EFH, a draft of which is
scheduled to be made available to the public in February 2005. NMFS
anticipates that EIS will result in an FMP amendment that provides
habitat protection measures to reduce the effects of fishing gear on
EFH. If those habitat protection measures result in fishing area
closures, NMFS expects to subsequently re-evaluate the area and
location of its RCAs to better mesh its EFH protection and bycatch
reduction responsibilities.
Finally, the RCAs have been set in accordance with overfished
species harvest specifications, which are based on overfished species
rebuilding rates set in the FMP's rebuilding plans. Regulations that
impose additional gear restrictions, reduce the size of the Trawl RCA,
and increase the size of the Recreational RCA continue to implement the
approved rebuilding plans for groundfish, in accordance with the
Magnuson-Stevens Act. The commenter's misinterpretation of the
rebuilding provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act were addressed in the
response to Comment 1, above.
Comment 17: A commenter expressed a concern that the shift of
fishing effort from the continental shelf to the slope due to the RCA
closures has placed greater pressure on slope and offshore habitats and
marine life. This commenter urged NMFS to analyze and address the
adverse impacts of fishing gears used in the groundfish fishery on EFH
through the use of habitat-friendly gears, no-take marine protected
areas, and time and effort restrictions.
Response: NMFS agrees that it is likely that fishing effort has
increased in continental slope areas as a result of the closure of
large portions of the continental shelf to fishing for groundfish. The
agency notes, however, that approximately 35 percent of the limited
entry trawl fleet were removed from the fishing grounds altogether with
the December 2003 trawl vessel/permit buyback program. Thus, while
continental shelf RCAs may have increased slope fishing effort, the
buyback decreased trawl fishing effort on the slope and elsewhere. NMFS
is analyzing the adverse impacts of fishing gear on EFH and the
measures proposed by the commenter as part of its EIS on West Coast
Groundfish EFH. NMFS expects to make the Draft EIS available for public
review in February 2005. In the interim, this final rule implements
measures the commenter has proposed in the form of: requirements that
prevent large-footrope gear from operating within and shoreward of the
RCAs to prevent those vessels from accessing overfished rockfish in
their rocky habitat; RCAs designed to reduce incidental catch of
overfished groundfish and which, as an added benefit, protect EFH
within the RCAs from the effects of groundfish fishing gear; and,
season closures used in most of the fisheries to reduce overfished
species bycatch, although those have only brief and temporary
incidental benefits for habitat. Fishing effort has been restricted in
the Federal commercial fisheries through the limited entry program, the
sablefish endorsement permit stacking program, and the trawl permit
buyback program.
Comment 18: A commenter stated that NMFS has refused to even
seriously consider the alternative of managing the fishery under a
system of bycatch caps. This commenter also stated that NMFS has failed
to establish adequate bycatch assessment requirements for the fishery
because there are no bycatch assessment requirements contained in the
proposed specifications. A second commenter stated that a standardized
reporting methodology has not been established for all fisheries and
urges NMFS to establish a standardize reporting methodology as soon as
possible to accurately count bycatch of groundfish-related fishing.
This second commenter also urged NMFS to assess the bycatch of all
marine life in the groundfish fishery and take steps to minimize this
bycatch in accordance with Federal law.
Response: The first commenter is incorrect in asserting that NMFS
has not considered implementing bycatch caps to manage the fisheries.
In September 2004, NMFS published a Programmatic FEIS on groundfish
bycatch mitigation. This document discusses bycatch cap programs and
the requirements for implementing one. Because the requirements for
establishing a program have not been met, it is currently not
practicable to implement caps in most of the fishery at this time.
However, NMFS and the Council are working to implement the preferred
alternative in the EIS. Nonetheless, this final rule implements a
bycatch limit provision for the high volume whiting fisheries. This
fishery is monitored inseason with
[[Page 77022]]
real-time observer data, which makes bycatch limits a viable management
measure to reduced incidental catch of overfished species. Under the
provisions at 50 CFR 660.370(c)(1)(ii), the Council may recommend and
NMFS may establish or adjust overfished species bycatch limits inseason
for the Pacific whiting fisheries. At Sec. 660.373(b)(4), NMFS has
implemented initial bycatch limits for canary rockfish of 7.3 mt in
2005 and 2006 and for widow rockfish of 231.8 mt in 2005 and 243.2 mt
in 2006. If an overfished species bycatch limit were achieved, NMFS
would have the authority to close one or more sectors of the whiting
fishery without further consultation with the Council. NMFS first
implemented this provision in 2004 with an emergency rule (69 FR 46448,
August 3, 2004).
The first commenter is also incorrect in asserting that there are
no bycatch assessment requirements in place for the fisheries because
there are no bycatch assessment requirements in this action. NMFS
discussed its bycatch reporting and assessment methodologies in the
preamble to the proposed rule for this action (69 FR 56550, September
21, 2004). Regulations implementing requirements for fishing and at-sea
processing vessels to participate in Federal observer programs that
gather bycatch data may be found at 50 CFR 660.314.
West Coast standardized bycatch reporting methodologies collect
total catch (landed + discard) data from the commercial and
recreational fisheries. As discussed in the preamble to the proposed
rule for this action, the West Coast Groundfish Observer Program and
the at-sea whiting observer program, in combination with state
logbooks, state EFP data-gathering programs, vessel monitoring system
coverage, and landings reporting requirements together constitute the
standardized total catch reporting methodology for West Coast
commercial groundfish fisheries. The standardized total catch reporting
methodology for recreational fisheries is a combination of Federal and
state efforts using at-dock port sampling programs, charterboat
logbooks, and state and Federal in-person and telephone interviews.
NMFS and the states work together through the Pacific States Marine
Fisheries Commission and through the Council process to constantly
improve and update their standardized total catch reporting
methodologies. In 2005-2006, NMFS will be revising its bycatch model to
incorporate data on limited entry fixed gear fisheries other than the
primary sablefish fishery, which will also include improvements in our
understanding of bycatch in the directed open access fisheries. NMFS
also expects to incorporate observer data from the directed open access
fisheries into the groundfish management process in 2005 for inseason
management of the nearshore open access fisheries.
The second commenter also requested that NMFS assess the bycatch of
all marine life in the groundfish fishery and take steps to minimize
this bycatch in accordance with Federal law. In the West Coast
groundfish fisheries, the need to protect and rebuild overfished
groundfish and to prevent incidental catch of endangered and threatened
salmon has driven the agency's priorities for bycatch assessment.
However, the agency collects data on a broad range of bycatch species
and assesses marine life bycatch as staff time and funding permits.
Both the Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science Centers are
researching Pacific ecosystem interactions between a broad range of
marine species and between these species and their physical
environment.
Comment 19: A commenter stated that NMFS and the Council must
remain committed to using information from the groundfish observer
program to adjust management measures inseason based on higher than
anticipated bycatch mortality.
Response: The agency's past practice has been to incorporate new
observer data inseason into the management process. The Council used
newly received observer data to revise its management measures inseason
in both 2003 and 2004. NMFS and the Council plan to continue this
practice in the 2005-2006 management cycle, as explained above in the
response to Comment 7.
Comment 20: Two commenters asserted that NMFS has failed to adopt,
or even analyze, all practicable bycatch reduction measures.
Response: NMFS has evaluated the practicability of bycatch
reduction measures in an EIS published in September 2004, and is
currently working on implementation of the preferred alternative. In
addition, NMFS has explained in the preamble to the proposed rule, in a
section entitled, ``Management Measures to Reduce Bycatch,'' the
currently practicable bycatch reduction measures that are in place in
the fishery, through this final rule and through associated regulatory
programs.
Comment 21: A commenter asserted that the proposed specifications
fail to show that NMFS is proposing management measures sufficient to
enforce the harvest levels mandated by the specifications.
Response: The preamble to the proposed rule for this action
explains how and why the management measures were designed, and the EIS
and other documents referred to in the proposed rule provide additional
explanatory information.
Comment 22: The CDFG requested that NMFS align the limited entry
fixed gear trip limit for shortspine thornyheads north and south of
40[deg]10' N. lat. so that they are both 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) per 2-
month period.
Response: NMFS consulted with representatives of the States of
Oregon and Washington on this request from the State of California, who
did not oppose California's proposal. Subsequent to that consultation,
NMFS agrees with and is implementing this recommendation. This is a
minor change to the regulation and will reduce confusion for fishermen
and enforcement personnel. With this final rule, the shortspine
thornyhead 2-month cumulative limit for limited entry fixed gear
participants operating north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. will be 2,000 lb
(907.2 kg) instead of 2,100 lb, as proposed. This cumulative limit is
currently in place for vessels operating in this fishery and area, and
will be the same as the limit for this fishery operating south of
40[deg]10' N. lat.
Comment 23: The CDFG requested that NMFS specify that dip nets are
a legal open access gear for groundfish. Dip nets are defined in
Section 1.43 of Title 14 California Code of Regulations as, ``Webbing
supported by a frame, and hand held, not more than six feet in greatest
dimension, excluding handle.
Response: NMFS is not implementing this recommendation. Although
dip nets themselves may have minimal impact on the environment, the
open access fishery is already overcapitalized and it would be
inappropriate to add a new gear type to the fishery in this final rule.
The groundfish regulations currently list the gears that are permitted
in this fishery at Sec. 660.310, and dip nets are not listed there.
Proposals to add a new permitted gear to the groundfish fishery should
be proposed by the Council under one of the management frameworks in
the FMP.
Changes from the Proposed Rule
At its September 13-17 meeting in San Diego, CA, the Council
reviewed its June recommendations for the 2005-2006 fishery
specifications and management measures. The Council provided NMFS with
comments on its June recommendations, asking that NMFS make a few
refinements to the
[[Page 77023]]
2005-2006 specifications and management measures that the agency had
published as proposed in the Federal Register. On September 24, 2004,
Council staff transmitted the Council's recommended refinements in a
letter to NMFS. That letter did not detail the Council's rationale for
the recommended refinements, referring instead to public discussions
held at the September 2004 Council meeting. Thus, the Council's
September 2004 recommendations are discussed in this section on changes
from the proposed rule, rather than above in responses to comments
received during the comment period.
The Council recommended reducing limited entry fixed gear limits
for longspine (from 19,000 lb (8618.4 kg)/two months to 10,000 lb
(4,536 kg)/2 months) and shortspine thornyheads (from 4,200 lb (1905.12
kg)/two months to 2,000 lb (907.2 kg)/two months) south of 40[deg]10'
N. lat. The trip limits the Council had recommended in June had been
based on the limited entry trawl trip limits for these species, and the
trawl limits had been based in part on the reduced number of trawl
fishery participants following the trawl buyback. The Council and its
advisory bodies felt that it was inappropriate to increase thornyhead
landings limits for a sector of the fishery that had not participated
in, and which would not be paying for, the trawl buyback program. The
thornyhead limits the Council had recommended in June were higher than
those in place for the limited entry fixed gear fishery in 2004. The
Council was also concerned that these higher thornyhead limits would
allow the fisheries to attain the thornyhead OYS early in the year,
requiring early fishery closures. NMFS concurs with this recommendation
and has made the recommended changes to the limited entry trip limits
in Table 4 (South).
NMFS provided the Council with a revised projection in the level of
expected 2006 research catch of sablefish in advance of the September
2004 Council meeting. As a result of the projected increase in 2006
research catch of sablefish, the Council recommended slight decreases
in the limited entry fixed gear tier sablefish limits for 2006. The
tier limits the Council had recommended in June were: Tier 1 at 63,000
lb (28,576 kg), Tier 2 at 28,600 lb (12,973 kg), and Tier 3 at 16,400
lb (7,394 kg). The Council has recommended revising those limits to:
Tier 1 at 62,700 lb (28,440 kg), Tier 2 at 28,500 lb (12,927 kg), and
Tier 3 at 16,300 lb (7,394 kg). Prior to publishing the proposed rule
for this action, NMFS had mistakenly calculated the 2006 tier limits
from the amount of sablefish available to the fisheries after the
increase in research catch estimates had been accounted for. Thus, the
proposed rule for this action proposed to implement the 2006 tier
limits that the Council recommended at its September meeting. For this
reason, no changes will be made to this action as a result of the
Council's confirmation of the needed increase in sablefish research set
aside.
Although lingcod is considered to be a coastwide stock, the Council
indicated that the OY should be set to avoid the disproportionate catch
of lingcod coming from either the northern or southern areas of the
coast. Therefore, the Council recommended establishing separate
northern and southern lingcod OYS, with the north-south division
occurring at 42[deg] N. lat, the Oregon-California border.
For the states to better manage the catch of lingcod in their
recreational fisheries to stay within their respective OYS, the Council
also recommended setting recreational harvest guidelines for the same
areas. With state specific harvest guidelines, each state can monitor
its recreational catches and adjust state management measures to keep
the harvests within the harvest guideline. For the recreational
fisheries in the southern area, the harvest guideline will be 422 mt in
both 2005 and 2006. For the recreational fisheries in the northern
area, the harvest guidelines announced in the proposed rule were 206 mt
for 2005 and 239 mt for 2006.
The northern recreational fishery for 2005 and 2006 was calculated
in June 2004 using an increasing linear trend of lingcod catches since
2001. The increasing trend appears to be the result of increasing
availability of lingcod to the recreational fishery due to successful
rebuilding of the stock. Because angler effort, angler success, and
average fish weight also show an increasing trend, it was necessary to
recalculate the anticipated catches using actual inseason catch
estimates from 2004. The recalculation resulted in slightly higher
recreational catch estimates for 2005 and 2006 for the northern area.
At its September 2004 meeting, the Council considered this new
information and recommended that the lingcod harvest guideline for the
northern recreational fishery be revised to accommodate the increased
projections. For 2005, the northern area recreational harvest guideline
for lingcod is being revised from 206 mt to 234 mt, and for 2006 it is
being revised from 239 mt to 271 mt. Because a large portion of the
lingcod OY was not anticipated to be taken in either 2005 or 2006,
these will not result in the OY being exceeded. NMFS concurs with this
recommendation and has made the recommended changes to Tables 1 and 2
of 50 CFR part 660 subpart G.
At its September meeting, the Council also recommended moving the
2005-2006 seaward boundary of the limited entry trawl RCA north of
38[deg] N. lat. from a boundary line approximating the 150 fm (274 m)
depth contour to one approximating the 200 fm (366 m) depth contour,
with petrale sole fishing areas open in January-February and November-
December in order to protect darkblotched rockfish. Historically, the
limited entry and open access exempted trawl RCAs have had the same
boundaries unless otherwise specified. Darkblotched rockfish is also in
need of protection from exempted trawl fisheries in this area and the
Council did not specify a separate open access trawl RCA for this area.
Therefore, NMFS is applying the Council's boundary revision
recommendation to both the limited entry and open access non-groundfish
trawl fleets between 40[deg]10' N. lat and 38[deg] N. lat. [Note: The
open access non-groundfish trawl fleet north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. is
not subject to RCA restrictions.] Additionally, the Council recommended
reducing their initially-recommended slope rockfish trip limit north of
38[deg] N. lat. from 8,000 lb (3,629 kg) to 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) per two
months. These recommendations were based on higher-than-expected
incidental catches of darkblotched rockfish in 2004 resulting from
trawl vessels targeting slope rockfish offshore of the trawl RCA. The
Council recommended the reduced trip limits and increased RCA size to
allow slope rockfish retention at incidental levels in the DTS (Dover
sole, thornyheads, sablefish) fishery without encouraging directed
slope rockfish targeting. NMFS concurs with this recommendation and has
made the appropriate changes to the trawl RCAs and trip limits in Table
3 (North) and (South) and in the open access RCAs in Table 5 (South.)
Finally, the Council's GMT had noticed a typo in the limited entry
fixed gear and open access trip limit tables for deeper nearshore
rockfish between 40[deg]10'' N. lat. and 34[deg]27' N. lat. Table 4
(South) and Table 5 (South) in the proposed rule had indicated a deeper
nearshore rockfish trip limit of 400 lb (181 kg) per month in
September-October. Those tables should have indicated a deeper
nearshore rockfish trip limit of 400 lb (181 kg) per two months in
September-October. NMFS concurs with this recommended correction and
has made the appropriate
[[Page 77024]]
changes to Tables 4 (South) and 5 (South). [NOTE: After the Council
recommended this change, CDFG realized that this trip limit was
intentionally modeled as the original 400 lb per month. Therefore, this
trip limit may be changed back to 400 lb per month during an inseason
action in 2005.]
In addition to Council recommended changes, NMFS is also clarifying
limited entry trawl gear requirements based on feedback received during
a NMFS Enforcement training session held in Seattle on September 21,
2004. Language specifying skirt mesh size on midwater trawl gear is re-
worded to relieve an unnecessary restriction. Previously, Federal
regulations at 50 CFR 660.310 had required that skirt mesh size be the
same as and coincide knot-to-knot with the net to which it is attached.
The intent of this regulation is to facilitate the escape of small fish
from the net by ensuring that skirt mesh size is not smaller than the
mesh size on the net to which it is attached. The regulation is not
intended to prevent skirt mesh size from being larger than the mesh
size on the net to which it is attached. Therefore, language specifying
skirt mesh size is reworded to require that skirt mesh size must be
equal to or larger than the mesh size on the net to which it is
attached.
NMFS is clarifying language at Sec. 660.382(a) and Sec.
660.383(a) on weekly trip limits for sablefish. This is not a change to
the regulations, rather in these paragraphs, new examples are provided
to clarify regulations prohibiting vessels from landing sablefish under
both the weekly and daily trip limits within the same calendar week.
NMFS is clarifying language at Sec. 660.370(h)(7) regarding
operating in both limited entry and open access fisheries to include
closed areas as follows, ``Open access trip limits and closed areas
apply to any fishing conducted with open access gear,...'' Since open
access closed areas are not always the same as limited entry closed
areas, the phrase ``closed areas'' was added to this paragraph to
clarify that open access closed areas also apply to limited entry
vessels when those vessels are fishing with open access gear.
There has been some confusion about whether gear other than the
open access gear listed in the open access fishery section could be
used to participate in the open access fishery. In order to eliminate
this confusion, NMFS is clarifying language at Section 660.383(b) to
state that gear used to fish in the open access fishery must be one of
the gears listed in the open access fishery section at 660.383(b). This
is not a substantive change in the regulations because other sections
of the regulations (Sec. Sec. 660.310 and 660.306(a)(5) make it clear
that only specifically authorized gear may be used in the groundfish
fishery. This is merely a clarification of a section of the
regulations.
As explained above in the responses to Comments 10 and 18 and in
the preamble to the proposed rule for this action, NMFS is implementing
overfished species bycatch limits as a routine management measure for
the whiting fishery in 2005-2006. In the proposed rule for this action,
NMFS had proposed codifying bycatch limits as a routine management
measure for the whiting fishery, but had not included specific limits
for any overfished species. During review of an internal draft of this
final rule, Council staff pointed out to NMFS that the Council had, as
part of its specifications and management measures package, recommended
bycatch limits of 7.3 mt for canary rockfish in 2005 and 2006 and 231.8
mt and 243.2 mt for widow rockfish in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
These limits were discussed in the DEIS at Sections 2.2 and 4.3.
Therefore, NMFS has revised this final rule to include a new sub-
paragraph Sec. 660.373(b)(4) on bycatch limits in the Pacific whiting
fishery that codifies the limits the Council recommended for canary and
widow rockfish. None of these changes are substantive; rather, they
clarify how a new regulatory program is to be used.
Finally, NMFS made corrections to Tables 1 and 2 of 50 CFR 660
Subpart G to correct typos from these tables as they had appeared in
the proposed rule for this action. NMFS corrected the 2006 cowcod OYS
in Table 2a the OY value for the Monterey area was revised from 2.4 mt
to 2.1 mt, and the OY value for the Conception area was changed from
2.4 mt to 2.1 mt. NMFS corrected the amount of lingcod estimated to be
taken in non-groundfish fisheries in footnote b/ for Table 1a from 2.0
mt to 2.8 mt. NMFS corrected the estimated tribal catch value for
yelloweye rockfish in footnote aa/ for Table 2a, changing it from 2.4
mt to 2.3 mt. Finally, NMFS also corrected some harvest rates
referenced in footnotes, as described above in the response to Comment
15.
Changes to RCA boundary coordinates announced by NMFS in this final
rule are in response to feedback NMFS received from the commercial
trawl industry and CDFG. The commercial trawl industry contacted NMFS
and CDFG to let the agencies know that the 200 fm (366 m) RCA boundary,
specifically designed to allow fishing in petrale sole areas, did not,
in fact, allow fishing in petrale sole areas off northern California.
CDFG reviewed the 200 fm (366 m) RCA boundary in question and concurred
with industry that, unlike the 250 fm (457 m) RCA boundary, modified to
allow fishing in petrale sole areas, the 200 fm (366 m) RCA boundary it
did not allow access to petrale sole areas. Therefore, CDFG recommended
revising the 200 fm (366 m) RCA boundary, that is modified to allow
fishing in petrale sole areas, to provide fishery access to two
important petrale sole fishing areas off northern California. During
CDFG's review of petrale sole fishing areas, they also discovered that
both RCA boundaries (the 200 fm (366 m) and the 250 fm (457 m))
specifically designed to allow fishing in petrale sole areas did not
adhere to their respective depth contours as closely as possible. To
ensure that these RCA boundaries adhere to the proper depth contours,
CDFG additionally recommended minor revisions to the 200 fm (366 m) RCA
boundary, that is modified to allow fishing in petrale sole areas, and
minor revisions to the 250 fm (457 m) RCA boundary, that is modified to
allow fishing in petrale sole areas. Another RCA boundary revision
suggested by CDFG involves the 100 fm (183 m) RCA boundary around the
California's Cordell Banks. The 100 fm (183 m) RCA boundary around
Cordell Banks is designed to fully enclose the Banks, with a series of
specific latitude and longitude coordinates, in order to prohibit
fishing for groundfish in the Banks's shallow waters. Because the 100
fm (183 m) RCA boundaries coordinates published in the proposed rule
(69 FR 56550, September 21, 2004) did not fully enclose the Cordell
Banks area, CDFG recommended revising the coordinates to ensure that
they fully enclose Cordell Banks. NMFS concurs with these
recommendations and revisions to the 200 fm (366 m) and the 250 fm (457
m) RCA boundaries, modified to allow fishing in petrale sole areas, can
be found in Sec. 660.394 and revisions to the 100 (183 m) RCA boundary
around Cordell Banks can be found in Sec. 660.390.
Revisions to Paperwork Reduction Act References in 15 CFR 902.1(b)
Section 3507(c)(B)(i) of the PRA requires that agencies inventory
and display a current control number assigned by the Director, Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), for each agency information collection.
Section 902.1(b) identifies the location of NOAA regulations for which
OMB approval numbers have been issued. Because this rule will move gear
[[Page 77025]]
identification regulations from Sec. 660.310 to Sec. 660.382, 15 CFR
902.1(b) is revised to reference correctly the new section resulting
from this regulations reorganization.
Classification
These final specifications and management measures for 2005-2006
are issued under the authority of, and are in accordance with, the
Magnuson-Stevens Act, the FMP, and 50 CFR part 660 subpart G (the
regulations implementing the FMP).
The 2005-2006 specifications and management measures are intended
to protect overfished and other depressed stocks while also allowing as
much harvest of more abundant groundfish stocks as possible during the
course of the year. If these measures are not effective on January 1,
2005, the management measures from January 1, 2004 will remain in
effect. Management measures from January 2004 were based on the best
scientific information available at that time. Since then, stock
assessments on lingcod and cabezon, plus new observer data and
revisions to NMFS's bycatch model have become available and have been
used to develop the 2005-2006 management measures. The 2004 management
measures are also not tailored to the 2005-2006 harvest levels and, for
some species, are not conservative enough to meet the Council's
rebuilding goals for 2005-2006. Leaving the 2004 management measures in
place could cause harm to some stocks. The commercial fishery is
managed with two-month cumulative limits, so even a short delay in
effectiveness could allow the fleets to harvest the entire two-month
limit before the 2005 measures are effective. Delaying the
effectiveness of this rule by 30 days would also be confusing to the
public, since it would result in a change in trip limits in the midst
of the two-month January-February cumulative trip limit period. The
comment period on the proposed rule for this action ended on October
20, 2004; NMFS has been working expeditiously since then to review and
respond to comments received, and to make the modifications discussed
earlier in this notice to trip limits and area closures. Finally, delay
in publishing these measures could also require unnecessarily
restrictive measures, including possible fishery closures, later in the
year to make up for the excessive harvest that would be caused by late
implementation of these regulations. Thus, a delay in effectiveness
could ultimately cause economic harm to the fishing industry and
associated fishing communities. For these reasons, the AA finds good
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to waive the requirement to delay the
effective date of this rule for 30 days.
The Council prepared an FEIS for this action; a notice of
availability was published on November 12, 2004 (69 FR 65427). A copy
of this FEIS is available from the Council (see ADDRESSES). On December
13, 2004, NMFS issued a ROD that documents the agency's final decisions
on NMFS's approval of the Council's preferred OY alternative for the
2005-2006 Pacific Coast groundfish specifications and management
measures. On the whole, the 2005-2006 specifications and management
measures are structured to protect and rebuild overfished groundfish
species and are expected to have short-term positive effects on the
biological environment and negative effects on fishing communities and
the socio-economic environment. Over the long-term and beyond the two-
year scope of these specifications and management measures, this action
is expected to have positive effects on both the biological and socio-
economic environment.
This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
Pursuant to Executive Order 13175, this final rule was developed
after meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials
from the area covered by the FMP. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16
U.S.C. 1852(b)(5), one of the voting members of the Council must be a
representative of an Indian tribe with federally recognized fishing
rights from the area of the Council's jurisdiction. In addition,
regulations implementing the FMP establish a procedure by which the
tribes with treaty fishing rights in the area covered by the FMP
request new allocations or regulations specific to the tribes, in
writing, before the first of the two meetings at which the Council
considers groundfish management measures. The regulations at 50 CFR
660.324(d) further state ``the Secretary will develop tribal
allocations and regulations under this paragraph in consultation with
the affected tribe(s) and, insofar as possible, with tribal
consensus.'' The tribal management measures in this rule have been
developed following these procedures. The tribal representative on the
Council made a motion to adopt the tribal management measures, which
was passed by the Council. Those management measures, which were
developed and proposed by the tribes, are finalized via this rule.
NMFS prepared an FRFA that describes the impact of this action on
small entities. The IRFA was summarized in the proposed rule published
on September 21, 2004 (69 FR 56550). The following is a summary of the
FRFA. A SECG for this final rule is available from the Regional
Administrator (see ADDRESSES) or online at www.nwr.noaa.gov/1press/sfdpress.htm. The need for and objectives of this final rule are
contained in the SUMMARY and in the Background section under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. NMFS did not receive any comments on the
IRFA or on the proposed rule regarding the economic effects of this
final rule.
These final 2005-2006 specifications and management measures are
intended to allow West Coast commercial and recreational fisheries
participants to fish the harvestable surplus of more abundant stocks
while also ensuring that those fisheries do not exceed the allowable
catch levels intended to protect overfished and depleted stocks. The
form of the specifications, in ABCs and OYS, follows the guidance of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act, the national standard guidelines, and the FMP
for protecting and conserving fish stocks. Fishery management measures
include trip and bag limits, size limits, time/area closures, gear
restrictions, and other measures intended to allow year-round West
Coast groundfish landings without compromising overfished species
rebuilding measures.
Approximately 1,700 vessels participated in the West Coast
commercial groundfish fisheries in 2001. Of those, about 420 vessels
were registered to limited entry permits issued for either trawl,
longline, or pot gear. Of the remaining approximately 1,280 vessels,
about 770 participated in the open access fisheries and derived more
than 5 percent of their fisheries revenue from groundfish landings. All
but 10-20 of the 1,700 vessels participating in the groundfish
fisheries are considered small businesses by the Small Business
Administration. In the 2001 recreational fisheries, there were 106
Washington charter vessels engaged in salt water fishing outside of
Puget Sound, 232 charter vessels active on the Oregon coast, and 415
charter vessels active on the California coast. Although some charter
businesses, particularly those in or near large California cities, may
not be small businesses, all are assumed to be small businesses for
purposes of this discussion.
The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that actions taken to implement
FMPs be consistent with the ten national standards, one of which
requires that conservation and management measures shall, consistent
with the conservation
[[Page 77026]]
requirements of the Act, ``take into account the importance of fishery
resources to fishing communities in order to (A) provide for the
sustained participation of such communities and, (B) to the extent
practicable, minimize adverse economic impacts on such communities.''
Fishing communities that rely on the groundfish resource and people
who participate in the groundfish fisheries have weathered many
regulatory changes in recent years. NMFS and the Council introduced the
first overfished species rebuilding measures in 2000, which severely
curtailed the fisheries from previous fishing levels. Since then, NMFS
has implemented numerous management measures and regulatory programs
intended to rebuild overfished stocks and to better monitor the catch
and bycatch of all groundfish species. These programs are expected to
improve the status of West Coast groundfish overfished stocks over time
and, by extension, the economic health of the fishing communities that
depend on those stocks. Initially, however, the broad suite of new
regulatory programs that NMFS has introduced since 2000 have: reduced
overall groundfish harvest levels, increased costs of participating in
the fisheries, and caused confusion for fishery participants trying to
track new regulatory regimes.
The Council considered five alternative specifications and
management measures regimes for 2005 and 2006: the no action
alternative, which would have implemented the 2004 regime for 2005 and
2006; the low OY alternative, which set a series of conservative
groundfish harvest levels that were either intended to achieve high
probabilities of rebuilding within TMAX for overfished species or
modest harvest levels for more abundant stocks; the high OY
alternative, which set harvest levels that were either intended to
achieve lower probabilities of rebuilding within TMAX for overfished
species or higher harvest levels for more abundant stocks; the medium
OY alternative, which set harvest levels intermediate to those of the
low and high alternatives, and; the Council OY alternative (preferred
alternative,) which was the same as the medium OY alternative, but with
more precautionary OY levels for lingcod, Pacific cod, cowcod, canary
and yelloweye rockfish. Each of these alternatives included both
harvest levels (specifications) and management measures needed to
achieve those harvest levels, with the most restrictive management
measures corresponding to the lowest OYS. The most notable difference
between the Council's preferred alternative and the other alternatives
is that alternative's requirement that trawl vessels operating north of
40[deg]10' N. lat. use selective flatfish trawl gear. Because selective
flatfish trawl gear has lower rockfish bycatch rates than conventional
trawl gear, the targeted flatfish amounts available to the trawl
fisheries are higher under the Council's preferred alternative than
under the other alternatives.
Each of the alternatives analyzed by the Council was expected to
have different overall effects on the economy. Among other factors, the
EIS for this action reviewed alternatives for expected changes in
revenue and income from 2003 levels. The low OY alternative was
expected to decrease annual commercial income from the no action
alternative by $1.99 million in 2005 and 2006, decrease commercial
fishery-related annual employment from the no action alternative by 0.3
percent in 2005 and 2006, and result in no changes in recreational
fishery income from the no action alternative. The high OY alternative
was expected to increase annual commercial income from the no action
alternative by $2.54 million in 2005 and 2006, increase commercial
fishery-related annual employment from the no action alternative by 0.4
percent in 2005 and 2006, and result in no changes in recreational
fishery income from the no action alternative. The medium OY
alternative was expected to increase annual commercial income from the
no action alternative by $1.51 million in 2005 and 2006, increase
commercial fishery-related annual employment from the no action
alternative by 0.3 percent in 2005 and 2006, and result in no changes
in recreational fishery income from the no action alternative. The
Council's OY alternative was expected to increase annual commercial
income from the no action alternative by $3.02 million in 2005 and
2006, increase commercial fishery-related annual employment from the no
action alternative by 0.5 percent in 2005 and 2006, and result in no
changes in recreational fishery income from the no action alternative.
The Council's preferred alternative would have had commercial fisheries
effects that were similar to or less beneficial than the medium OY
alternative had the Council preferred alternative not included the
requirement that trawl vessels north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. fish with
selective flatfish trawl gear in nearshore waters. The Council's
preferred alternative is intended to meet the conservation requirements
of the Magnuson-Stevens Act while reducing to the extent practicable
the adverse economic impacts of these conservation measures on the
fishing industries and associated communities.

Fishery (See Sec. 600.10).
* * * * *
Fishing gear includes the following types of gear and equipment
used in the groundfish fishery:
(1) Bobbin trawl. The same as a roller trawl, a type of bottom
trawl.
(2) Bottom trawl. A trawl in which the otter boards or the footrope
of the net are in contact with the seabed. It includes roller (or
bobbin) trawls, Danish and Scottish seine gear, and pair trawls fished
on the bottom. Any trawl not meeting the requirements for a midwater
trawl in Sec. 660.322 is a bottom trawl.
(3) Breastline. A rope or cable that connects the end of the
headrope and the end of the trawl fishing line along the edge of the
trawl web closest to the towing point.
(4) Chafing gear. Webbing or other material attached to the codend
of a
[[Page 77027]]
trawl net to protect the codend from wear.
(5) Codend. (See Sec. 600.10).
(6) Commercial vertical hook-and-line. Commercial fishing with
hook-and-line gear that involves a single line anchored at the bottom
and buoyed at the surface so as to fish vertically.
(7) Double-bar mesh. Two lengths of twine tied into a single knot.
(8) Double-walled codend. A codend constructed of two walls of
webbing.
(9) Fixed gear (anchored nontrawl gear). Longline, trap or pot, set
net, and stationary hook-and-line (including commercial vertical hook-
and-line) gears.
(10) Gillnet. (See Sec. 600.10).
(11) Headrope. A rope or wire attached to the trawl webbing forming
the leading edge of the top panel of the trawl net.
(12) Hook-and-line. One or more hooks attached to one or more
lines. It may be stationary (commercial vertical hook-and-line) or
mobile (troll).
(13) Longline. A stationary, buoyed, and anchored groundline with
hooks attached, so as to fish along the seabed. It does not include
commercial vertical hook-and-line or troll gear.
(14) Mesh size. The opening between opposing knots. Minimum mesh
size means the smallest distance allowed between the inside of one knot
to the inside of the opposing knot, regardless of twine size.
(15) Midwater (pelagic or off-bottom) trawl. A trawl in which the
otter boards may be in contact with the seabed but the footrope of the
net remains above the seabed. It includes pair trawls if fished in
midwater. A midwater trawl has no rollers or bobbins on the net.
(16) Non-groundfish trawl gear. Any trawl gear other than bottom or
midwater trawl gear authorized for use in the limited entry groundfish
trawl fishery. Non-groundfish trawl gear generally includes trawl gear
used to target pink shrimp, ridgeback prawns, California halibut and
sea cucumber.
(17) Nontrawl gear. All legal commercial groundfish gear other than
trawl gear.
(18) Pot. A trap.
(19) Roller trawl (bobbin trawl). A trawl with footropes equipped
with rollers or bobbins made of wood, steel, rubber, plastic, or other
hard material that keep the footrope above the seabed, thereby
protecting the net. A roller trawl is a type of bottom trawl.
(20) Set net. A stationary, buoyed, and anchored gillnet or trammel
net.
(21) Single-walled codend. A codend constructed of a single wall of
webbing knitted with single or double-bar mesh.
(22) Spear. A sharp, pointed, or barbed instrument on a shaft.
(23) Trammel net. A gillnet made with two or more walls joined to a
common float line.
(24) Trap (or pot). A portable, enclosed device with one or more
gates or entrances and one or more lines attached to surface floats.
(25) Trawl fishing line. A length of chain or wire rope in the
bottom front end of a trawl net to which the webbing or lead ropes are
attached.
(26) Trawl riblines. Heavy rope or line that runs down the sides,
top, or underside of a trawl net from the mouth of the net to the
terminal end of the codend to strengthen the net during fishing.

5. Section 660.321 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.321 Black rockfish harvest guideline.
From the commercial harvest of black rockfish off Washington State,
a treaty Indian tribes' harvest guideline is set of 20,000 lb (9,072
kg) for the area north of Cape Alava, WA (48[deg]09.50' N. lat) and
10,000 lb (4,536 kg) for the area between Destruction Island, WA
(47[deg]40' N. lat.) and Leadbetter Point, WA (46[deg]38.17' N. lat.).
This harvest guideline applies and is available to the treaty Indian
tribes identified in Sec. 660.324(b).
0
6. Section Sec. 660.322 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.322 Sablefish allocations.
(a) Tribal-nontribal allocation. The sablefish allocation to
Pacific coast treaty Indian tribes identified at Sec. 660.324(b) is 10
percent of the sablefish total catch OY for the area north of 36[deg]
N. lat. This allocation represents the total amount available to the
treaty Indian fisheries before deductions for discard mortality. The
annual tribal sablefish allocations are provided in Sec. 660.385(a).
(b) Between the limited entry and open access sectors. Sablefish is
allocated between the limited entry and open access fisheries according
to the procedure described in Sec. 660.320(a).
(c) Between the limited entry trawl and limited entry nontrawl
sectors. The limited entry sablefish allocation is further allocated 58
percent to the trawl sector and 42 percent to the nontrawl (longline
and pot/trap) sector.
(d) Between the limited entry fixed gear primary season and daily
trip limit fisheries. Within the limited entry nontrawl sector
allocation, 85 percent is reserved for the primary season described in
Sec. 660.372(b), leaving 15 percent for the limited entry daily trip
limit fishery described in Sec. 660.372(c).
(e) Ratios between tiers for sablefish endorsed limited entry
permit holders. The Regional Administrator will biennially or annually
calculate the size of the cumulative trip limit for each of the three
tiers associated with the sablefish endorsement such that the ratio of
limits between the tiers is approximately 1:1.75:3.85 for Tier 3:Tier
2:Tier 1, respectively. The size of the cumulative trip limits will
vary depending on the amount of sablefish available for the primary
fishery and on estimated discard mortality rates within the fishery.
The size of the cumulative trip limits for the three tiers in the
primary fishery will be announced in Sec. 660.372.

7. In Sec. 660.323, paragraph (a) is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 660.323 Pacific whiting allocations, allocation attainment, and
inseason allocation reapportionment.
(a) Allocations. (1) Annual treaty tribal whiting allocations are
provided in Sec. 660.385(e).
(2) The non-tribal commercial harvest guideline for whiting is
allocated among three sectors, as follows: 34 percent for the catcher/
processor sector; 24 percent for the mothership sector; and 42 percent
for the shoreside sector. No more than 5 percent of the shoreside
allocation may be taken and retained south of 42[deg] N. lat. before
the start of the primary whiting season north of 42[deg] N. lat. These
allocations are harvest guidelines unless otherwise announced in the
Federal Register. The non-tribal Pacific whiting allocations in 2005
are as follows:
(i) Catcher/processor sector-TBA(24 percent);
(ii) Mothership sector-TBA (34 percent);
(iii) Shore-based sector-TBA (42 percent). No more than 5 percent
(TBA) of the shore-based whiting allocation may be taken before the
shore-based fishery begins north of 42[deg] N. lat. on June 15, 2005.

9. In Sec. 660.370, paragraphs (a), (c) introductory text, (c)(1), (d)
and (f) are revised and (g) and (h) are added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.370 Specifications and management measures.
(a) General. NMFS will establish and adjust specifications and
management measures biennially or annually and during the fishing year.
Management of the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery will be conducted
consistent with the standards and procedures in the PCGFMP and other
applicable law. The PCGFMP is available from the Regional Administrator
or the Council. Regulations under this subpart may be promulgated,
removed, or revised during the fishing year. Any such action will be
made according to the framework standards and procedures in the PCGFMP
and other applicable law, and will be published in the Federal
Register.
* * * * *
(c) Routine management measures. In addition to the catch
restrictions in Sec. Sec. 660.371 through 660.373, other catch
restrictions that are likely to be adjusted on a biennial or more
frequent basis may be imposed and announced by a single notification in
the Federal Register if good cause exists under the APA to waive notice
and comment, and if they have been designated as routine through the
two-meeting process described in the PCGFMP. Routine management
measures that may be revised during the fishing year via this process
are implemented in paragraph (h) of this section and in Sec. Sec.
660.371 through 660.373, Sec. Sec. 660.381 through 660.385 and Tables
3-5 of this subpart. Most trip, bag, and size limits, and area closures
in the groundfish fishery have been designated ``routine,'' which
[[Page 77030]]
means they may be changed rapidly after a single Council meeting.
Council meetings are held in the months of March, April, June,
September, and November. Inseason changes to routine management
measures are announced in the Federal Register pursuant to the
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). Changes to trip
limits are effective at the times stated in the Federal Register. Once
a change is effective, it is illegal to take and retain, possess, or
land more fish than allowed under the new trip limit. This means that,
unless otherwise announced in the Federal Register, offloading must
begin before the time a fishery closes or a more restrictive trip limit
takes effect. The following catch restrictions have been designated as
routine:
(1) Commercial limited entry and open access fisheries--(i) Trip
landing and frequency limits, size limits, all gear. Trip landing and
frequency limits have been designated as routine for the following
species or species groups: widow rockfish, canary rockfish, yellowtail
rockfish, Pacific ocean perch, yelloweye rockfish, black rockfish, blue
rockfish, splitnose rockfish, chilipepper rockfish, bocaccio, cowcod,
minor nearshore rockfish or shallow and deeper minor nearshore
rockfish, shelf or minor shelf rockfish, and minor slope rockfish; DTS
complex which is composed of Dover sole, sablefish, shortspine
thornyheads, and longspine thornyheads; petrale sole, rex sole,
arrowtooth flounder, Pacific sanddabs, and the flatfish complex, which
is composed of those species plus any other flatfish species listed at
Sec. 660.302; Pacific whiting; lingcod; and ``other fish'' as a
complex consisting of all groundfish species listed at Sec. 660.302
and not otherwise listed as a distinct species or species group. Size
limits have been designated as routine for sablefish and lingcod. Trip
landing and frequency limits and size limits for species with those
limits designated as routine may be imposed or adjusted on a biennial
or more frequent basis for the purpose of keeping landings within the
harvest levels announced by NMFS, and for the other purposes given in
paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
(A) Trip landing and frequency limits. To extend the fishing
season; to minimize disruption of traditional fishing and marketing
patterns; to reduce discards; to discourage target fishing while
allowing small incidental catches to be landed; to protect overfished
species; to allow small fisheries to operate outside the normal season;
and, for the open access fishery only, to maintain landings at the
historical proportions during the 1984-88 window period.
(B) Size limits. To protect juvenile fish; to extend the fishing
season.
(ii) Differential trip landing limits and frequency limits based on
gear type, closed seasons. Trip landing and frequency limits that
differ by gear type and closed seasons may be imposed or adjusted on a
biennial or more frequent basis for the purpose of rebuilding and
protecting overfished or depleted stocks. To achieve the rebuilding of
an overfished or depleted stock, the Pacific whiting primary seasons
described at Sec. 660.373(b), may be closed for any or all of the
fishery sectors identified at Sec. 660.373(a) before the sector
allocation is reached if any of the bycatch limits identified at Sec.
660.373(b)(4) are reached.
* * * * *
(d) Automatic actions. Automatic management actions may be
initiated by the NMFS Regional Administrator without prior public
notice, opportunity to comment, or a Council meeting. These actions are
nondiscretionary, and the impacts must have been taken into account
prior to the action. Unless otherwise stated, a single notice will be
published in the Federal Register making the action effective if good
cause exists under the APA to waive notice and comment. Automatic
actions are used in the Pacific whiting fishery to close the fishery or
reinstate trip limits when a whiting harvest guideline, commercial
harvest guideline, or a sector's allocation is reached, or is projected
to be reached; or to reapportion unused allocation to other sectors of
the fishery.
* * * * *
(f) Exempted fisheries. U.S. vessels operating under an exempted
fishing permit (EFP) issued under 50 CFR part 600 are also subject to
restrictions in Sec. Sec. 660.301 through 660.394, unless otherwise
provided in the permit. EFPs may include the collecting of scientific
samples of groundfish species that would otherwise be prohibited for
retention.
(g) Applicability. Groundfish species harvested in the territorial
sea (0-3 nm) will be counted toward the catch limitations in Sec. Sec.
660.370 through 660.385 and in Tables 1-5 of this subpart.
(h) Fishery restrictions.--(1) Commercial trip limits and
recreational bag and boat limits. Commercial trip limits and
recreational bag and boat limits defined in Sec. 660.302 and set in
Sec. Sec. 660.371 through 660.373, Sec. Sec. 660.381 through 660.385
and Tables 3-5 of this subpart must not be exceeded.
(2) Landing. As stated at 50 CFR 660.302 (in the definition of
``Landing''), once the offloading of any species begins, all fish
aboard the vessel are counted as part of the landing and must be
reported as such. Transfer of fish at sea is prohibited under Sec.
660.306(a)(12) unless a vessel is participating in the primary whiting
fishery as part of the mothership or catcher-processor sectors, as
described at Sec. 660.373(a).
(3) Fishing ahead. Unless the fishery is closed, a vessel that has
landed its cumulative or daily limit may continue to fish on the limit
for the next legal period, so long as no fish (including, but not
limited to, groundfish with no trip limits, shrimp, prawns, or other
nongroundfish species or shellfish) are landed (offloaded) until the
next legal period. Fishing ahead is not allowed during or before a
closed period.
(4) Weights and percentages. All weights are round weights or
round-weight equivalents unless otherwise specified. Percentages are
based on round weights, and, unless otherwise specified, apply only to
legal fish on board.
(5) Size limits, length measurement, and weight limits--(i) Size
limits and length measurement. Unless otherwise specified, size limits
in the commercial and recreational groundfish fisheries apply to the
``total length,'' which is the longest measurement of the fish without
mutilation of the fish or the use of force to extend the length of the
fish. No fish with a size limit may be retained if it is in such
condition that its length has been extended or cannot be determined by
these methods. For conversions not listed here, contact the state where
the fish will be landed.
(A) Whole fish. For a whole fish, total length is measured from the
tip of the snout (mouth closed) to the tip of the tail in a natural,
relaxed position.
(B) ``Headed'' fish. For a fish with the head removed (``headed''),
the length is measured from the origin of the first dorsal fin (where
the front dorsal fin meets the dorsal surface of the body closest to
the head) to the tip of the upper lobe of the tail; the dorsal fin and
tail must be left intact.
(C) Filets. A filet is the flesh from one side of a fish extending
from the head to the tail, which has been removed from the body (head,
tail, and backbone) in a single continuous piece. Filet lengths may be
subject to size limits for some groundfish taken in the recreational
fishery off California (see Sec. 660.384). A filet is measured along
the length of the longest part of the filet in a relaxed position;
stretching or otherwise manipulating the filet to increase its length
is not permitted.
[[Page 77031]]
(ii) Weight limits and conversions. The weight limit conversion
factor established by the state where the fish is or will be landed
will be used to convert the processed weight to round weight for
purposes of applying the trip limit. Weight conversions provided herein
are those conversions currently in use by the States of Washington,
Oregon and California and may be subject to change by those states.
Fishery participants should contact fishery enforcement officials in
the state where the fish will be landed to determine that state's
official conversion factor. To determine the round weight, multiply the
processed weight times the conversion factor.
(iii) Sablefish. The following conversion applies to both the
limited entry and open access fisheries when trip limits are in effect
for those fisheries. For headed and gutted (eviscerated) sablefish the
weight conversion factor is 1.6 (multiply the headed and gutted weight
by 1.6 to determine the round weight).
(iv) Lingcod. The following conversions apply in both limited entry
and open access fisheries.
(A) For lingcod with the head removed, the minimum size limit is
19.5 inches (49.5 cm), which corresponds to 24 inches (61 cm) total
length for whole fish.
(B) The weight conversion factor for headed and gutted lingcod is
1.5. The conversion factor for lingcod that has only been gutted with
the head on is 1.1.
(6) Sorting. Under Sec. 660.306(a)(7), it is unlawful for any
person to ``fail to sort, prior to the first weighing after offloading,
those groundfish species or species groups for which there is a trip
limit, size limit, quota, harvest guideline, or OY, if the vessel
fished or landed in an area during a time when such trip limit, size
limit, OY, or quota applied.'' The States of Washington, Oregon, and
California may also require that vessels record their landings as
sorted on their state fish tickets. This provision applies to both the
limited entry and open access fisheries. The following species must be
sorted in 2005 and 2006:
(i) For vessels with a limited entry permit:
(A) Coastwide - widow rockfish, canary rockfish, darkblotched
rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, shortbelly rockfish, black rockfish,
minor nearshore rockfish, minor shelf rockfish, minor slope rockfish,
shortspine and longspine thornyhead, Dover sole, arrowtooth flounder,
rex sole, petrale sole, arrowtooth flounder, other flatfish, lingcod,
sablefish, and Pacific whiting
(B) North of 40[deg]10' N. lat.--POP, yellowtail rockfish, and, for
fixed gear, blue rockfish;
(C) South of 40[deg]10' N. lat.--minor shallow nearshore rockfish,
minor deeper nearshore rockfish, California scorpionfish, chilipepper
rockfish, bocaccio rockfish, splitnose rockfish, Pacific sanddabs, and
cabezon.
(ii) For open access vessels (vessels without a limited entry
permit):
(A) Coastwide -widow rockfish, canary rockfish, darkblotched
rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, black rockfish, minor nearshore rockfish,
minor shelf rockfish, minor slope rockfish, Dover sole, arrowtooth
flounder, petrale sole, rex sole, other flatfish, lingcod, sablefish,
Pacific whiting, and Pacific sanddabs;
(B) North of 40[deg]10' N. lat.--blue rockfish, POP, yellowtail
rockfish;
(C) South of 40[deg]10' N. lat.--minor shallow nearshore rockfish,
minor deeper nearshore rockfish, chilipepper rockfish, bocaccio
rockfish, splitnose rockfish, and cabezon;
(D) South of Point Conception, CA--thornyheads.
(7) Operating in both limited entry and open access fisheries. Open
access trip limits apply to any fishing conducted with open access
gear, even if the vessel has a valid limited entry permit with an
endorsement for another type of gear. A vessel that operates in both
the open access and limited entry fisheries is not entitled to two
separate trip limits for the same species. If a vessel has a limited
entry permit and uses open access gear, but the open access limit is
smaller than the limited entry limit, the open access limit may not be
exceeded and counts toward the limited entry limit. If a vessel has a
limited entry permit and uses open access gear, but the open access
limit is larger than the limited entry limit, the smaller limited entry
limit applies, even if taken entirely with open access gear.
(8) ``Crossover provisions,'' operating in north-south management
areas with different trip limits. NMFS uses different types of
management areas for West Coast groundfish management. One type of
management area is the north-south management area, a large ocean area
with northern and southern boundary lines wherein trip limits, seasons,
and conservation areas follow a single theme. Within each north-south
management area, there may be one or more conservation areas, detailed
in Sec. Sec. 660.302 and 660.390 through 660.394. The provisions
within this paragraph apply to vessels operating in different north-
south management areas. Trip limits for a species or a species group
may differ in different north-south management areas along the coast.
The following ``crossover'' provisions apply to vessels operating in
different geographical areas that have different cumulative or ``per
trip'' trip limits for the same species or species group. Such
crossover provisions do not apply to species that are subject only to
daily trip limits, or to the trip limits for black rockfish off
Washington (see Sec. 660.371).
(i) Going from a more restrictive to a more liberal area. If a
vessel takes and retains any groundfish species or species group of
groundfish in an area where a more restrictive trip limit applies
before fishing in an area where a more liberal trip limit (or no trip
limit) applies, then that vessel is subject to the more restrictive
trip limit for the entire period to which that trip limit applies, no
matter where the fish are taken and retained, possessed, or landed.
(ii) Going from a more liberal to a more restrictive area. If a
vessel takes and retains a groundfish species or species group in an
area where a higher trip limit or no trip limit applies, and takes and
retains, possesses or lands the same species or species group in an
area where a more restrictive trip limit applies, that vessel is
subject to the more restrictive trip limit for the entire period to
which that trip limit applies, no matter where the fish are taken and
retained, possessed, or landed.
(iii) Operating in two different areas where a species or species
group is managed with different types of trip limits. During the
fishing year, NMFS may implement management measures for a species or
species group that set different types of trip limits (for example, per
trip limits versus cumulative trip limits) for different areas. If a
vessel fishes for a species or species group that is managed with
different types of trip limits in two different areas within the same
cumulative limit period, then that vessel is subject to the most
restrictive overall cumulative limit for that species, regardless of
where fishing occurs.
(iv) Minor rockfish. Several rockfish species are designated with
species-specific limits on one side of the 40[deg]10' N. lat.
management line, and are included as part of a minor rockfish complex
on the other side of the line. A vessel that takes and retains fish
from a minor rockfish complex (nearshore, shelf, or slope) on both
sides of a management line during a single cumulative limit period is
subject to the more restrictive cumulative limit for that minor
rockfish complex during that period.
(A) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish north of
40[deg]10.00' N. lat., that vessel is also permitted to take and
[[Page 77032]]
retain, possess or land splitnose rockfish up to its cumulative limit
south of 38[deg] N. lat., even if splitnose rockfish were a part of the
landings from minor slope rockfish taken and retained north of
40[deg]10.00' N. lat.
(B) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish south of
40[deg]10.00' N. lat., that vessel is also permitted to take and
retain, possess or land POP up to its cumulative limit north of
40[deg]10.00' N. lat., even if POP were a part of the landings from
minor slope rockfish taken and retained south of 38[deg] N. lat.
(C) If a trawl vessel takes and retains minor shelf rockfish south
of 40[deg]10' N. lat., that vessel is also permitted to take and
retain, possess, or land yellowtail rockfish up to its cumulative
limits north of 40[deg]10' N. lat., even if yellowtail rockfish is part
of the landings from minor shelf rockfish taken and retained south of
40[deg]10' N. lat. Yellowtail rockfish is included in overall shelf
rockfish limits for limited entry fixed gear and open access gear
groups. Widow rockfish is included in overall shelf rockfish limits for
all gear groups.
(D) If a trawl vessel takes and retains minor shelf rockfish north
of 40[deg]10' N. lat., that vessel is also permitted to take and
retain, possess, or land chilipepper rockfish up to its cumulative
limits south of 40[deg]10' N. lat., even if chilipepper rockfish is
part of the landings from minor shelf rockfish taken and retained north
of 40[deg]10' N. lat.
(v) ``DTS complex.'' There are differential trawl trip limits for
the ``DTS complex'' north and south of the management line at
40[deg]10' N. lat. Vessels operating in the limited entry trawl fishery
are subject to the crossover provisions in this paragraph when making
landings that include any one of the four species in the ``DTS
complex.''
(vi) Flatfish complex. There are differential trip limits for the
flatfish complex (butter, curlfin, English, flathead, petrale, rex,
rock, and sand soles, Pacific sanddab, and starry flounder) north and
south of the management line at 40[deg]10' N. lat. Vessels operating in
the limited entry trawl fishery are subject to the crossover provisions
in this paragraph when making landings that include any one of the
species in the flatfish complex.

10. Section 660.371 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 660.371 Black rockfish fishery management.
The trip limit for black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) for
commercial fishing vessels using hook-and-line gear between the U.S.-
Canada border and Cape Alava (48[deg]09.50' N. lat.), and between
Destruction Island (47[deg]40' N. lat.) and Leadbetter Point
(46[deg]38.17' N. lat.), is 100 lbs (45 kg) or 30 percent, by weight of
all fish on board, whichever is greater, per vessel per fishing trip.
These per trip limits apply to limited entry and open access fisheries,
in conjunction with the cumulative trip limits and other management
measures in Sec. Sec. 660.382 and 660.383. The crossover provisions in
Sec. 660.370(h)(8) do not apply to the black rockfish per-trip limits.
0
11. In Sec. 660.372, the introductory paragraph, paragraphs (b)(1),
and (b)(3)(i) are revised, (b)(3)(ii) is removed and paragraphs
(b)(3)(iii) and (b)(3)(iv) are redesignated as paragraphs (b)(3)(ii)
and (b)(3)(iii), respectively, and paragraph (c) is revised to read as
follows:
Sec. 660.372 Fixed gear sablefish fishery management.
This section applies to the primary season for the fixed gear
limited entry sablefish fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat., except for
paragraph (c), of this section, which also applies to the open access
fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat. and to both the limited entry and open
access fisheries south of 36[deg] N. lat. Limited entry and open access
fixed gear sablefish fishing outside of the primary sablefish season
north of 36[deg] N. lat. is governed by routine management measures
imposed under Sec. 660.370.
* * * * *
(b) Primary season limited entry, fixed gear sablefish fishery--(1)
Season dates. North of 36[deg] N. lat., the primary sablefish season
for limited entry, fixed gear vessels begins at 12 noon l.t. on April 1
and ends at 12 noon l.t. on October 31, unless otherwise announced by
the Regional Administrator. If a vessel is registered for use with a
sablefish-endorsed limited entry permit, all sablefish taken after
April 1 count against the cumulative limits associated with the
permit(s) registered for use with that vessel.
* * * * *
(3) * * *
(i) A vessel participating in the primary season will be
constrained by the sablefish cumulative limit associated with each of
the permits registered for use with that vessel. During the primary
season, each vessel authorized to participate in that season under
paragraph (a) of this section may take, retain, possess, and land
sablefish, up to the cumulative limits for each of the permits
registered for use with that vessel. If multiple limited entry permits
with sablefish endorsements are registered for use with a single
vessel, that vessel may land up to the total of all cumulative limits
announced in the Federal Register for the tiers for those permits,
except as limited by paragraph (b)(3)(iii) of this section. Up to 3
permits may be registered for use with a single vessel during the
primary season; thus, a single vessel may not take and retain, possess
or land more than 3 primary season sablefish cumulative limits in any
one year. A vessel registered for use with multiple limited entry
permits is subject to per vessel limits for species other than
sablefish, and to per vessel limits when participating in the daily
trip limit fishery for sablefish under paragraph (c) of this section.
For 2005, the following limits are in effect: Tier 1 at 64,100 lb
(29,075 kg), Tier 2 at 29,100 lb (13,200 kg), and Tier 3 at 16,600 lb
(7,530 kg). For 2006, the following limits are in effect: Tier 1 at
62,700 lb (28,440 kg), Tier 2 at 28,500 lb (12,927 kg), and Tier 3 at
16,300 lb (7,394 kg).
* * * * *
(c) Limited entry and open access daily trip limit fisheries both
north and south of 36[deg] N. lat. (1) Before the start of the primary
season, all sablefish landings made by a vessel authorized under
paragraph (a) of this section to participate in the primary season will
be subject to the restrictions and limits of the limited entry daily
and/or weekly trip limit fishery for sablefish, which is governed by
routine management measures imposed under Sec. 660.370(c).
(2) Following the start of the primary season, all landings made by
a vessel authorized under paragraph (a) of this section to participate
in the primary season will count against the primary season cumulative
limit(s) associated with the permit(s) registered for use with that
vessel. A vessel that is eligible to participate in the primary
sablefish season may participate in the daily trip limit fishery for
sablefish once that vessels' primary season sablefish limit(s) have
been taken, or after the end of the primary season, whichever occurs
earlier. Any subsequent sablefish landings by that vessel will be
subject to the restrictions and limits of the limited entry daily and/
or trip limit fishery for sablefish for the remainder of the calendar
year.
(3) No vessel may land sablefish against both its primary season
cumulative sablefish limits and against the daily and/or weekly trip
limit fishery limits within the same 24 hour period of 0001 hours l.t.
to 2400 hours l.t. If a vessel has taken all of its tier limit except
for an amount that is smaller than the daily trip limit amount, that
vessel's subsequent sablefish landings are automatically subject to
daily and/or weekly trip limits.
[[Page 77033]]
(4) Vessels registered for use with a limited entry, fixed gear
permit that does not have a sablefish endorsement may participate in
the limited entry, daily and/or weekly trip limit fishery for as long
as that fishery is open during the year, subject to routine management
measures imposed under Sec. 660.370(c). Daily and/or weekly trip
limits for the limited entry fishery north and south of 36[deg] N. lat.
are provided in Tables 4 (North) and 4 (South) of this subpart.
(5) Open access vessels may participate in the open access, daily
trip limit fishery for as long as that fishery is open during the year,
subject to the routine management measures imposed under Sec.
660.370(c). Daily and/or weekly trip limits for the open access fishery
north and south of 36[deg] N. lat. are provided in Tables 5 (North) and
5 (South) of this subpart.

(iii) 2005 and 2006 primary whiting seasons. After the start of a
primary season for a sector of the whiting fishery, the season remains
open for that sector until the quota is taken and the fishery season
for that sector is closed by NMFS. In both 2005 and 2006, the primary
seasons for the whiting fishery start on the same dates as follows:
(A) Catcher/processor sector - May 15;
(B) Mothership sector May 15;
(C) Shore-based sector June 15 north of 42[deg] N. lat.; April 1
between 42[deg] - 40[deg]30' N. lat.
* * * * *
(3) 2005-2006 trip limits in the whiting fishery. The ``per trip''
limit for whiting before and after the regular (primary) season for the
shore-based sector is announced in Table 4 of this subpart, and is a
routine management measure under Sec. 660.370(c). This trip limit
includes any whiting caught shoreward of 100 fathoms (183 m) in the
Eureka, CA area. The ``per trip'' limit for other groundfish species
before, during and after the regular (primary) season are announced in
Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of this subpart and apply as
follows:
(i) During the groundfish cumulative limit periods both before and
after the primary whiting season, vessels may use either small and/or
large footrope gear, but are subject to the more restrictive trip
limits for those entire cumulative periods.
(ii) During the primary whiting season for a sector of the fishery,
then the midwater trip limits apply and are additive to the trip limits
for other groundfish species for that fishing period (i.e., vessels are
not constrained by the lower midwater limits and can harvest up to a
footrope-specific trawl limit plus the midwater trawl limit per species
or species group for that cumulative limit period).
(4) 2005--2006 bycatch limits in the whiting fishery. The bycatch
limits for the whiting fishery may be used inseason to close a sector
or sectors of the whiting fishery to achieve the rebuilding of an
overfished or depleted stock, under routine managmenet measure
authority at Sec. 660.370 (c)(1)(ii). These limits are routine
management measures under Sec. 660.370 (c) and, as such, may be
adjusted inseason or may have new species added to the list of those
with bycatch limits. For 2005, the whiting fishey bycatch limits are
7.3 mt of canary rockfish and 231.8 mt of widow rockfish. For 2006, the
whiting fishery bycatch limits are 7.3 mt of canary rockfish and 243.2
mt of widow rockfish.
* * * * *
(d) * * *
(1) 2005-2006 whiting trip limits. No more than 10,000 lb (4,536
kg) of whiting may be taken and retained, possessed, or landed by a
vessel that, at any time during a fishing trip, fished in the fishery
management area shoreward of the 100 fm (183 m) contour (as shown on
NOAA Charts 18580, 18600, and 18620) in the Eureka management area
(defined at Sec. 660.302).

13. A new Sec. 660.380 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.380 Groundfish harvest specifications.
Fishery specifications include ABCs, the designation of OYs (which
may be represented by harvest guidelines (HGs) or quotas for species
that need individual management,) and the allocation of commercial OYs
between the open access and limited entry segments of the fishery.
These specifications include fish caught in state ocean waters (0-3 nm
offshore) as well as fish caught in the EEZ (3-200 nm offshore).
Specifications and management measures are provided as Tables 1a and
1b, and 2a and 2b of this subpart.
0
14. A new Sec. 660.381 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.381 Limited entry trawl fishery management measures.
(a) General. Limited entry trawl vessels include those vessels
registered to a limited entry permit with a trawl endorsement. Most
species taken in limited entry trawl fisheries will be managed with
cumulative trip limits (see trip limits in Tables 3 (North) and 3
(South) of this subpart), size limits (see Sec. 660.370 (h)(5)),
seasons (see Pacific whiting at Sec. 660.373), gear restrictions (see
paragraph (b) of this section) and closed areas (see paragraph (d) of
this section and Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394). The trawl fishery
has gear requirements and trip limits that differ by the type of trawl
gear on board and the area fished. Federal commercial groundfish
regulations are not intended to supersede any more restrictive state
commercial groundfish regulations relating to federally-managed
groundfish. Cowcod retention is prohibited in all fisheries and
groundfish vessels operating south of Point Conception must adhere to
CCA restrictions (see paragraph (d)(1) of this section and Sec.
660.390). The trip limits in Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of
this subpart apply to vessels participating in the limited entry
groundfish trawl fishery and may not be exceeded. Federal commercial
groundfish regulations are not intended to supersede any more
restrictive state commercial groundfish regulations relating to
federally-managed groundfish.
(b) Trawl gear requirements and restrictions. Trawl nets may be
fished with or without otter boards, and may use warps or cables to
herd fish.
(1) Codends. Only single-walled codends may be used in any trawl.
Double-walled codends are prohibited.
(2) Mesh size. Groundfish trawl gear must meet the minimum mesh
size requirements in this paragraph. Mesh size requirements apply
throughout the net. Minimum trawl mesh sizes are: bottom trawl, 4.5
inches (11.4 cm); midwater trawl, 3.0 inches (7.6 cm). Minimum trawl
mesh size requirements are met if a 20-gauge stainless steel wedge,
less one thickness of the metal wedge, can be passed with only thumb
pressure through at least 16 of 20 sets of two meshes each of wet mesh.
(3) Chafing gear. Chafing gear may encircle no more than 50 percent
of the net's circumference, except as provided in paragraph (b)(5) of
this section. No section of chafing gear may be longer than 50 meshes
of the net to which it is attached. Except at the corners, the terminal
end of each section of chafing gear must not be connected to the net.
(The terminal end is the end farthest
[[Page 77034]]
from the mouth of the net.) Chafing gear must be attached outside any
riblines and restraining straps. There is no limit on the number of
sections of chafing gear on a net.
(4) Large footrope trawl gear. Large footrope gear is bottom trawl
gear with a footrope diameter larger than 8 inches (20 cm) (including
rollers, bobbins or other material encircling or tied along the length
of the footrope).
(5) Small footrope trawl gear. Small footrope gear is bottom trawl
gear with a footrope diameter of 8 inches (20 cm) or smaller (including
rollers, bobbins or other material encircling or tied along the length
of the footrope). Chafing gear may be used only on the last 50 meshes
of a small footrope trawl, measured from the terminal (closed) end of
the codend. Other lines or ropes that run parallel to the footrope may
not be augmented such that they have a diameter larger than 8 inches
(20 cm). For enforcement purposes, the footrope will be measured in a
straight line from the outside edge to the opposite outside edge at the
widest part on any individual part, including any individual disk,
roller, bobbin, or any other device.
(i) Selective flatfish trawl gear is a type of small footrope trawl
gear. The selective flatfish trawl net must be a two-seamed net and its
breastline may not be longer than 3 ft (0.92 m) in length. There may be
no floats along the center third of the selective flatfish trawl net's
headrope and the headrope must be at least 30 percent longer in length
than the footrope. Selective flatfish trawl gear may not have a
footrope that is longer than 105 ft (32.26 m) in length. An explanatory
diagram of a selective flatfish trawl net is provided as Figure 1 of
Part 660, Subpart G.
(ii) [Reserved]
(6) Midwater (or pelagic) trawl gear. Midwater trawl gear must have
unprotected footropes at the trawl mouth, and must not have rollers,
bobbins, tires, wheels, rubber discs, or any similar device anywhere on
any part of the net. The footrope of midwater gear may not be enlarged
by encircling it with chains or by any other means. Ropes or lines
running parallel to the footrope of midwater trawl gear must be bare
and may not be suspended with chains or any other materials. Sweep
lines, including the bottom leg of the bridle, must be bare. For at
least 20 ft (6.15 m) immediately behind the footrope or headrope, bare
ropes or mesh of 16-inch (40.6-cm) minimum mesh size must completely
encircle the net. A band of mesh (a ``skirt'') may encircle the net
under transfer cables, lifting or splitting straps (chokers), but must
be: over riblines and restraining straps; the same mesh size and
coincide knot-to-knot with the net to which it is attached; and no
wider than 16 meshes.
(c) Cumulative trip limits and prohibitions by limited entry trawl
gear type. Management measures may vary depending on the type of trawl
gear (i.e., large footrope, small footrope, selective flatfish, or
midwater trawl gear) used and/or on board a vessel during a fishing
trip and the area fished. Trawl nets may be used on and off the seabed.
For some species or species groups, Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South)
provide cumulative and/or trip limits that are specific to different
types of trawl gear: large footrope, small footrope (including
selective flatfish), selective flatfish, and midwater. If Table 3
(North) and Table 3 (South) provide gear specific limits for a
particular species or species group, it is unlawful to take and retain,
possess or land that species or species group with limited entry trawl
gears other than those listed.
(1) Large footrope trawl gear. It is unlawful for any vessel using
large footrope gear to fish for groundfish shoreward of the RCAs
defined at paragraph (d) of this section and at Sec. Sec. 660.390
through 660.394. The use of large footrope gear is permitted seaward of
the RCAs coastwide.
(2) Small footrope trawl gear. North of 40[deg]10' N. lat., it is
unlawful for any vessel using small footrope gear (except selective
flatfish gear) to fish for groundfish or have small footrope trawl gear
(except selective flatfish gear) onboard while fishing shoreward of the
RCA defined at paragraph (d) of this section and at Sec. Sec. 660.390
through 660.394. South of 40[deg]10' N. lat., small footrope gear is
required shoreward of the RCA. Small footrope gear is permitted seaward
of the RCA coastwide.
(i) North of 40[deg]10' N. lat., selective flatfish gear is
required shoreward of the RCA defined at paragraph (d) of this section
and at Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394. South of 40[deg]10' N. lat.,
selective flatfish gear is permitted, but not required, shoreward of
the RCA. The use of selective flatfish trawl gear is permitted seaward
of the RCA coastwide.
(ii) [Reserved]
(3) Midwater trawl gear. North of 40[deg]10' N. lat., midwater
trawl gear is permitted only for vessels participating in the primary
Pacific whiting fishery (for details on the Pacific whiting fishery see
Sec. 660.373). South of 40[deg]10' N. lat., the use of midwater trawl
gear is prohibited shoreward of the RCA and permitted seaward of the
RCA.
(4) More than one type of trawl gear on board. The cumulative trip
limits in Table 3 (North) or Table 3 (South) of this subpart must not
be exceeded. A vessel that is trawling within a Groundfish Conservation
Area (GCA) with trawl gear authorized for use within a GCA may not have
any other type of trawl gear on board.
(i) North of 40[deg]10' N. lat., a vessel may have more than one
type of limited entry trawl gear on board, but the most restrictive
trip limit associated with the gear on board applies for that trip and
will count toward the cumulative trip limit for that gear. If selective
flatfish trawl gear is used by or is on board a vessel at any time
north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. (either shoreward or seaward of RCA) and
those trip limits are the most restrictive for a species or species
group during the entire cumulative limit period, then selective
flatfish trawl limits apply to that vessel for that species or species
group for that entire cumulative limit period, regardless of whether
other gear types are also used during that period. Midwater trawl gear
is allowed only for vessels participating in the primary whiting
season. On non-whiting trips (defined as any fishing trip that takes,
retains, possess, or lands less than 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) of whiting),
vessels with both large footrope and midwater trawl gear on board
during a trip may access the large footrope limits while fishing with
large footrope gear seaward of the RCA.
(ii) South of 40[deg]10' N. lat., a vessel may have more than one
type of limited entry trawl gear on board, but the most restrictive
trip limit associated with the gear on board applies for that trip and
will count toward the cumulative limit for that gear. If a vessel has
small footrope trawl gear on board, then it may not have any other
trawl gear on board. For vessels using more than one type of trawl gear
during a cumulative limit period, limits are additive up to the largest
limit for the type of gear used during that period. (Example: If a
vessel harvests 300 lb (136 kg) of chilipepper rockfish with small
footrope gear, it may harvest up to 11,700 lb (5,209 kg) of chilipepper
rockfish with large footrope gear during July and August.) If a vessel
fishes north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. with either selective flatfish or
small footrope gear onboard the vessel at any time during the
cumulative limit period, the most restrictive trip limit associated
with the gear on board applies for that trip and will count toward the
cumulative trip limit for that gear.
(d) Trawl Groundfish Conservation Areas (GCAs). A Groundfish
Conservation Area (GCA), a type of closed area, is a geographic area
defined by coordinates expressed in degrees of latitude and longitude.
The following
[[Page 77035]]
GCAs apply to vessels participating in the limited entry trawl fishery.
(1) Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs). Vessels using limited entry
trawl gear are prohibited from fishing within the CCAs. See Sec.
660.390 for the coordinates that define the CCAs. Limited entry trawl
vessels may transit through the Western CCA with their gear stowed and
groundfish on board only in a corridor through the Western CCA bounded
on the north by the latitude line at 33[deg]00.50' N. lat., and bounded
on the south by the latitude line at 32[deg]59.50' N. lat. It is
unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish within the
CCAs, except as authorized in this paragraph, when those waters are
open to fishing.
(2) Farallon Islands. Under California law, commercial fishing for
all groundfish is prohibited between the shoreline and the 10 fm (18 m)
depth contour around the Farallon Islands. (See Sec. 660.390)
(3) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited
in waters less than 100 fm (183 m) around Cordell Banks as defined by
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. 660.390. [Note:
California state regulations also prohibit fishing for all greenlings
of the genus Hexagrammos, California sheephead and ocean whitefish in
this area.]
(4) Trawl rockfish conservation areas. The trawl RCAs are closed
areas, defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates designed
to approximate specific depth contours, where fishing with limited
entry trawl gear is prohibited.
(i) Coastwide, it is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land
any species of fish taken with trawl gear within the trawl RCA, except
as permitted for vessels participating in the primary whiting season.
Throughout the year, boundaries for the trawl RCA are provided in Table
3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of this subpart, and may be modified by
NMFS inseason pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Trawl RCA boundaries are
defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates which are
provided at Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394.
(ii) Trawl vessels may transit through the trawl RCA, with or
without groundfish on board, provided all groundfish trawl gear is
stowed either: below deck; or if the gear cannot readily be moved, in a
secured and covered manner, detached from all towing lines, so that it
is rendered unusable for fishing; or remaining on deck uncovered if the
trawl doors are hung from their stanchions and the net is disconnected
from the doors. These restrictions do not apply to vessels fishing with
mid-water trawl gear for Pacific whiting or taking and retaining
yellowtail rockfish or widow rockfish in association with Pacific
whiting caught with mid-water trawl gear or to taking and retaining
yellowtail or widow rockfish with mid-water trawl gear when trip limits
are authorized for those species.
(iii) If a vessel fishes in the trawl RCA, it may not participate
in any fishing on that trip that is prohibited by the restrictions that
apply within the trawl RCA. [For example, if a vessel participates in
the pink shrimp fishery within the RCA, the vessel cannot on the same
trip participate in the DTS fishery seaward of the RCA.] Nothing in
these Federal regulations supercede any state regulations that may
prohibit trawling shoreward of the 3-nm state waters boundary line.

15. A new Sec. 660.382 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.382 Limited entry fixed gear fishery management measures.
(a) General. Most species taken in limited entry fixed gear
(longline and pot/trap) fisheries will be managed with cumulative trip
limits (see trip limits in Tables 4 (North) and 4 (South) of this
subpart), size limits (see Sec. 660.370(h)(5)), seasons (see trip
limits in Tables 4 (North) and 4 (South) of this subpart and primary
sablefish season details in Sec. 660.372(b)), gear restrictions (see
paragraph (b) of this section), and closed areas (see paragraph (c) of
this section and Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394). Cowcod retention
is prohibited in all fisheries and groundfish vessels operating south
of Point Conception must adhere to CCA restrictions (see paragraph
(c)(2) of this section and Sec. 660.390). Yelloweye rockfish and
canary rockfish retention is prohibited in the limited entry fixed gear
fisheries. Regulations governing and tier limits for the limited entry,
fixed gear primary sablefish season north of 36[deg] N. lat. are found
in Sec. 660.372. Vessels not participating in the primary sablefish
season are subject to daily or weekly sablefish limits in addition to
cumulative limits for each cumulative limit period. Only one sablefish
landing per week may be made in excess of the daily trip limit and, if
the vessel chooses to make a landing in excess of that daily trip
limit, then that is the only sablefish landing permitted for that week.
The trip limit for black rockfish caught with hook-and-line gear also
applies, see Sec. 660.371. The trip limits in Table 4 (North) and
Table 4 (South) of this subpart apply to vessels participating in the
limited entry groundfish fixed gear fishery and may not be exceeded.
Federal commercial groundfish regulations are not intended to supersede
any more restrictive state commercial groundfish regulations relating
to federally-managed groundfish.
(b) Gear Restrictions--(1) General. The following types of fishing
gear are authorized in the limited entry fixed gear fishery, with the
restrictions set forth in this section: longline and pot or trap.
Vessels participating in the limited entry fixed gear fishery may also
fish with open access gear subject to the gear restrictions at Sec.
660.383(b), but will be subject to the most restrictive trip limits for
the gear used as specified at Sec. 660.370(h)(7).
(2) Limited entry fixed gear. (i) Fixed gear (longline, trap or
pot) must be:
(A) Marked at the surface, at each terminal end, with a pole, flag,
light, radar reflector, and a buoy.
(B) Attended at least once every 7 days.
(ii) A buoy used to mark fixed gear under paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) of
this section must be marked with a number clearly identifying the owner
or operator of the vessel. The number may be either:
(A) If required by applicable state law, the vessel's number, the
commercial fishing license number, or buoy brand number; or
(B) The vessel documentation number issued by the USCG, or, for an
undocumented vessel, the vessel registration number issued by the
state.
(3) Traps or pots. Traps must have biodegradable escape panels
constructed with 21 or smaller untreated cotton twine in such
a manner that an opening at least 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter
results when the twine deteriorates.
(c) Groundfish Conservation Areas. A Groundfish Conservation Area
(GCA), a type of closed area, is a geographic area defined by
coordinates expressed in degrees latitude and longitude. The following
GCAs apply to vessels participating in the limited entry fixed gear
fishery.
(1) Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. The latitude and
longitude coordinates of the Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area
(YRCA) boundaries are specified at Sec. 660.390. The YRCA is
designated as an area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial
fixed gear fishermen.
(2) Cowcod Conservation Areas. The latitude and longitude
coordinates of the Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) boundaries are
specified at Sec. 660.390. Fishing with limited entry fixed gear is
prohibited within the CCAs, except that fishing for ``other flatfish''
is permitted within the CCAs using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2''
or smaller, which
[[Page 77036]]
measure no more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up to 2 lb
(0.91 kg) of weight per line. Fishing with limited entry fixed gear for
rockfish and lingcod is permitted shoreward of the 20-fm (37-m) depth
contour. It is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish
within the CCAs, except for species authorized in this paragraph caught
according to gear requirements in this paragraph, when those waters are
open to fishing. Commercial fishing vessels may transit through the
Western CCA with their gear stowed and groundfish on board only in a
corridor through the Western CCA bounded on the north by the latitude
line at 33[deg]00.50' N. lat., and bounded on the south by the latitude
line at 32[deg]59.50' N. lat.
(3) Non-trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas. Fishing for groundfish
with non-trawl gear (limited entry or open access longline and pot or
trap, open access hook-and-line, gillnet, set net, trammel net and
spear) is prohibited within the non-trawl rockfish conservation area
(RCA), except that commercial fishing for ``other flatfish'' is
permitted within the non-trawl RCA off California (between 42[deg] N.
lat. south to the U.S./Mexico border) using no more than 12 hooks,
``Number 2'' or smaller, which measure no more than 11 mm (0.44 inches)
point to shank, and up to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of weight per line. It is
unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with
non-trawl gear within the non-trawl RCA, unless otherwise authorized in
this section. Limited entry fixed gear vessels may transit through the
non-trawl RCA, with or without groundfish on board. These restrictions
do not apply to vessels fishing for species other than groundfish with
non-trawl gear, although non-trawl vessels on a fishing trip for
species other than groundfish that occurs within the non-trawl RCA may
not retain any groundfish taken on that trip. If a vessel fishes in the
non-trawl RCA, it may not participate in any fishing on that trip that
is prohibited by the restrictions that apply within the non-trawl RCA.
[For example, if a vessel participates in the salmon troll fishery
within the RCA, the vessel cannot on the same trip participate in the
sablefish fishery outside of the RCA.] Boundaries for the non-trawl RCA
throughout the year are provided in the header to Table 4 (North) and
Table 4 (South) of this subpart and may be modified by NMFS inseason
pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Non-trawl RCA boundaries are defined by
specific latitude and longitude coordinates and are provided at
Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394.
(4) Farallon Islands. Under California law, commercial fishing for
all groundfish is prohibited between the shoreline and the 10-fm (18-m)
depth contour around the Farallon Islands, except that commercial
fishing for ``other flatfish'' is permitted around the Farallon Islands
using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or smaller, which measure no
more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up to 2 lb (0.91 kg)
of weight per line. (See Table 4 (South) of this subpart.) For a
definition of the Farallon Islands, see Sec. 660.390.
(5) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited
in waters less than 100 fm (183 m) around Cordell Banks as defined by
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. 660.390, except
that commercial fishing for ``other flatfish'' is permitted around
Cordell Banks using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or smaller,
which measure no more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up
to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of weight per line. [Note: California state
regulations also prohibit fishing for all greenlings of the genus
Hexagrammos, California sheephead and ocean whitefish in this area.]

16. Section 660.383 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.383 Open access fishery management measures.
(a) General. Groundfish species taken in open access fisheries will
be managed with cumulative trip limits (see trip limits in Tables 5
(North) and 5 (South) of this subpart), size limits (see Sec.
660.370(h)(5)), seasons, gear restrictions (see paragraph (b) of this
section), and closed areas (see paragraph (c) of this section and
Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394). Unless otherwise specified, a
vessel operating in the open access fishery is subject to, and must not
exceed any trip limit, frequency limit, and/or size limit for the open
access fishery. Cowcod retention is prohibited in all fisheries and
groundfish vessels operating south of Point Conception must adhere to
CCA restrictions (see paragraph (c)(2) of this section and Sec.
660.390). Retention of yelloweye rockfish and canary rockfish is
prohibited in all open access fisheries. For information on the open
access daily/weekly trip limit fishery for sablefish, see Sec.
660.372(c) and the trip limits in Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) of
this subpart. Open access vessels are subject to daily or weekly
sablefish limits in addition to cumulative limits for each cumulative
limit period. Only one sablefish landing per week may be made in excess
of the daily trip limit and, if the vessel chooses to make a landing in
excess of that daily trip limit, then that is the only sablefish
landing permitted for that week. The trip limit for black rockfish
caught with hook-and-line gear also applies, see Sec. 660.371. The
trip limits in Table 5 (North) and Table 5 (South) of this subpart
apply to vessels participating in the open access fisheries and may not
be exceeded. Federal commercial groundfish regulations are not intended
to supersede any more restrictive state commercial groundfish
regulations relating to federally managed groundfish.
(b) Gear restrictions. Open access gear is gear used to take and
retain groundfish from a vessel that does not have a valid permit for
the Pacific Coast groundfish fishery with an endorsement for the gear
used to harvest the groundfish. This includes longline, trap, pot,
hook-and-line (fixed or mobile), setnet (anchored gillnet or trammel
net, which are permissible south of 38[deg] N. lat. only), spear and
non-groundfish trawl gear (trawls used to target non-groundfish
species: pink shrimp or ridgeback prawns, and, south of Pt. Arena, CA
(38[deg]57.50' N. lat.), California halibut or sea cucumbers).
Restrictions for gears used in the open access fisheries are as
follows:
(1) Non-groundfish trawl gear. Non-groundfish trawl gear is any
trawl gear other than limited entry groundfish trawl gear as described
at Sec. 660.381(b) and as defined at Sec. 660.302 for trawl vessels
with limited entry groundfish permits. Non-groundfish trawl gear is
generally trawl gear used to target pink shrimp, ridgeback prawn,
California halibut and sea cucumber. Non-groundfish trawl gear is
exempt from the limited entry trawl gear restrictions at Sec.
660.381(b).
(2) Fixed gear. (i) Fixed gear (longline, trap or pot, set net and
stationary hook-and-line gear, including commercial vertical hook-and-
line gear) must be:
(A) Marked at the surface, at each terminal end, with a pole, flag,
light, radar reflector, and a buoy except as provided in paragraph
(b)(3)(ii) of this section.
(B) Attended at least once every 7 days.
(ii) Commercial vertical hook-and-line gear that is closely tended
may be marked only with a single buoy of sufficient size to float the
gear. ``Closely tended'' means that a vessel is within visual sighting
distance or within 0.25 nm (463 m) as determined by electronic
navigational equipment, of its commercial vertical hook-and-line gear.
(iii) A buoy used to mark fixed gear under paragraph (b)(3)(i)(A)
or (b)(3)(ii) of this section must be marked with a
[[Page 77037]]
number clearly identifying the owner or operator of the vessel. The
number may be either:
(A) If required by applicable state law, the vessel's number, the
commercial fishing license number, or buoy brand number; or
(B) The vessel documentation number issued by the USCG, or, for an
undocumented vessel, the vessel registration number issued by the
state.
(3) Set nets. Fishing for groundfish with set nets is prohibited in
the fishery management area north of 38[deg]00.00' N. lat.
(4) Traps or pots. Traps must have biodegradable escape panels
constructed with 21 or smaller untreated cotton twine in such
a manner that an opening at least 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter
results when the twine deteriorates.
(5) Spears. Spears may be propelled by hand or by mechanical means.
(c) Open Access Groundfish Conservation Areas. A Groundfish
Conservation Area (GCA), a type of closed area, is a geographic area
defined by coordinates expressed in degrees latitude and longitude. The
following GCAs apply to participants in the open access fishery.
(1) Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. The latitude and
longitude coordinates of the Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area
(YRCA) boundaries are specified at Sec. 660.390. The YRCA is
designated as an area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial
fixed gear fishermen.
(2) Cowcod Conservation Areas. The latitude and longitude
coordinates of the Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) boundaries are
specified at Sec. 660.390. Fishing with open access gear is prohibited
within the CCAs, except that fishing for ``other flatfish'' is
permitted within the CCAs using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or
smaller, which measure no more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank,
and up to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of weight per line. Fishing with open access
gear, except trawl gear, for rockfish and lingcod is permitted
shoreward of the 20-fm (37-m) depth contour. It is unlawful to take and
retain, possess, or land groundfish within the CCAs, except for species
authorized in this paragraph caught according to gear requirements in
this paragraph, when those waters are open to fishing. Commercial
fishing vessels may transit through the Western CCA with their gear
stowed and groundfish on board only in a corridor through the Western
CCA bounded on the north by the latitude line at 33[deg]00.50' N. lat.,
and bounded on the south by the latitude line at 32[deg]59.50' N. lat.
(3) Non-trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas for the open access
fisheries. Fishing for groundfish with non-trawl gear (limited entry or
open access longline and pot or trap, open access hook-and-line,
gillnet, set net, trammel net and spear) is prohibited within the non-
trawl rockfish conservation area (RCA), except that commercial fishing
for ``other flatfish'' is permitted within the non-trawl RCA off
California (between 42[deg] N. lat. south to the U.S./Mexico border)
using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or smaller, which measure no
more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up to 2 lb (0.91 kg)
of weight per line. It is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land
groundfish taken with non-trawl gear within the non-trawl RCA, unless
otherwise authorized in this section. Open access non-trawl gear
vessels may transit through the non-trawl RCA, with or without
groundfish on board. These restrictions do not apply to vessels fishing
for species other than groundfish with non-trawl gear, although non-
trawl vessels on a fishing trip for species other than groundfish that
occurs within the non-trawl RCA may not retain any groundfish taken on
that trip. If a vessel fishes in the non-trawl RCA, it may not
participate in any fishing on that trip that is prohibited by the
restrictions that apply within the non-trawl RCA. Retention of
groundfish caught by salmon troll gear is prohibited in the designated
RCAs, except that salmon trollers may retain yellowtail rockfish caught
both inside and outside the non-trawl RCA subject to the limits in
Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) of this subpart. Boundaries for the non-
trawl RCA throughout the year are provided in the open access trip
limit tables, Table 5 (North) and Table 5(South) of this subpart and
may be modified by NMFS inseason pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Non-
trawl RCA boundaries are defined by specific latitude and longitude
coordinates which are specified at Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394.
(4) Trawl Rockfish Conservation Areas for the open access non-
groundfish trawl fisheries.
(i) Fishing with any open access trawl gear is prohibited within
the trawl RCA coastwide, except as authorized in this paragraph.
Coastwide, it is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land any
species of fish taken with trawl gear within the trawl RCA, except as
permitted in this paragraph for vessels participating in the pink
shrimp and ridgeback prawn trawl fisheries. Boundaries for the trawl
RCA throughout the year in the open access fishery are provided in
Table 5 (North) and Table 5 (South) of this subpart and may be modified
by NMFS inseason pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Trawl RCA boundaries are
defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates which are
specified below at Sec. Sec. 660.390 through 660.394. The trawl
rockfish conservation area (RCA) is closed coastwide to open access
non-groundfish trawl fishing, except as follows:
(A) Pink shrimp trawling is permitted in the trawl RCA, and
(B) When the shoreward line of the trawl RCA is shallower than 100
fm (183 m), the ridgeback prawn trawl fishery south of 34[deg]27.00' N.
lat. may operate out to the 100 fm boundary line specified at Sec.
660.393 (i.e., the shoreward boundary of the trawl RCA is at the 100 fm
boundary line all year for the ridgeback prawn trawl fishery in this
area).
(ii) For the non-groundfish trawl gear fisheries, non-groundfish
trawl gear RCAs, if applicable, are generally described in the non-
groundfish trawl gear sections at the bottom of Tables 5 (North) and 5
(South) of this subpart. Retention of groundfish caught by non-
groundfish trawl gear is prohibited in the designated RCAs, except
that:
(A) pink shrimp trawl may retain groundfish caught both within and
shoreward and seaward of the non-groundfish trawl RCA subject to the
limits in Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) of this subpart, and
(B) South of 34[deg]27' N. lat., ridgeback prawn trawl may retain
groundfish caught both within the non-groundfish trawl RCA out to 100
fm (183 m) when the shoreward boundary of the trawl RCA is shallower
than 100 fm (183 m) (i.e., the shoreward boundary of the trawl RCA is
at the 100 fm boundary line all year for the ridgeback prawn trawl
fishery in this area) and shoreward and seaward of the non-groundfish
trawl RCA subject to the limits in Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) of
this subpart.
(iii) If a vessel fishes in the trawl RCA, it may not participate
in any fishing on that trip that is prohibited by the restrictions that
apply within the trawl RCA. [For example, if a vessel participates in
the pink shrimp fishery within the RCA, the vessel cannot on the same
trip participate in the DTS fishery seaward of the RCA.] Nothing in
these Federal regulations supercede any state regulations that may
prohibit trawling shoreward of the 3-nm state waters boundary line.
(5) Farallon Islands. Under California law, commercial fishing for
all groundfish is prohibited between the shoreline and the 10-fm (18-m)
depth contour around the Farallon Islands, except that commercial
fishing for
[[Page 77038]]
``other flatfish'' is permitted around the Farallon Islands using no
more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or smaller, which measure no more than
11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of weight
per line. (See Table 5 (South) of this subpart.) For a definition of
the Farallon Islands, see Sec. 660.390.
(6) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited
in waters less than 100 fm (183 m) around Cordell Banks as defined by
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. 660.390, except
that commercial fishing for ``other flatfish'' is permitted around
Cordell Banks using no more than 12 hooks, ``Number 2'' or smaller,
which measure no more than 11 mm (0.44 inches) point to shank, and up
to 2 lb (0.91 kg) of weight per line. [Note: California state
regulations also prohibit fishing for all greenlings of the genus
Hexagrammos, California sheephead and ocean whitefish in this area.]
(d) Groundfish taken with non-groundfish trawl gear by vessels
engaged in fishing for ridgeback prawns, California halibut, or sea
cucumbers. Trip limits for groundfish retained in the ridgeback prawn,
California halibut, or sea cucumber fisheries are in the open access
trip limit table, Table 5 (South) of this subpart. The table also
generally describes the RCAs for vessels participating in these
fisheries.
(1) Participation in the ridgeback prawn fishery. A trawl vessel
will be considered participating in the ridgeback prawn fishery if:
(i) It is not fishing under a valid Federal limited entry
groundfish permit issued under Sec. 660.333 for trawl gear; and
(ii) The landing includes ridgeback prawns taken in accordance with
California Fish and Game Code, section 8595, which states: ``Prawns or
shrimp may be taken for commercial purposes with a trawl net, subject
to Article 10 (commencing with Section 8830) of Chapter 3.''
(2) Participation in the California halibut fishery. A trawl vessel
will be considered participating in the California halibut fishery if:
(i) It is not fishing under a valid Federal limited entry
groundfish permit issued under Sec. 660.333 for trawl gear;
(ii) All fishing on the trip takes place south of Pt. Arena, CA
(38[deg]57.50' N. lat.); and
(iii) The landing includes California halibut of a size required by
California Fish and Game Code section 8392(a), which states: ``No
California halibut may be taken, possessed or sold which measures less
than 22 in (56 cm) in total length, unless it weighs 4 lb (1.8144 kg)
or more in the round, 3 and one-half lbs (1.587 kg) or more dressed
with the head on, or 3 lbs (1.3608 kg) or more dressed with the head
off. Total length means the shortest distance between the tip of the
jaw or snout, whichever extends farthest while the mouth is closed, and
the tip of the longest lobe of the tail, measured while the halibut is
lying flat in natural repose, without resort to any force other than
the swinging or fanning of the tail.''
(3) Participation in the sea cucumber fishery. A trawl vessel will
be considered to be participating in the sea cucumber fishery if:
(i) It is not fishing under a valid Federal limited entry
groundfish permit issued under Sec. 660.333 for trawl gear;
(ii) All fishing on the trip takes place south of Pt. Arena, CA
(38[deg]57.50' N. lat.); and
(iii) The landing includes sea cucumbers taken in accordance with
California Fish and Game Code, section 8405, which requires a permit
issued by the State of California.
(e) Groundfish taken with non-groundfish trawl gear by vessels
engaged in fishing for pink shrimp. Trip limits for groundfish retained
in the pink shrimp fishery are in Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) of
this subpart. Notwithstanding Sec. 660.370(h)(7), a vessel that takes
and retains pink shrimp and also takes and retains groundfish in either
the limited entry or another open access fishery during the same
applicable cumulative limit period that it takes and retains pink
shrimp (which may be 1 month or 2 months, depending on the fishery and
the time of year), may retain the larger of the two limits, but only if
the limit(s) for each gear or fishery are not exceeded when operating
in that fishery or with that gear. The limits are not additive; the
vessel may not retain a separate trip limit for each fishery.

17. Section Sec. 660.384 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.384 Recreational fishery management measures.
(a) General. Federal recreational groundfish regulations are not
intended to supersede any more restrictive state recreational
groundfish regulations relating to federally-managed groundfish. The
bag limits include fish taken in both state and Federal waters.
(b) Gear restrictions. The only types of fishing gear authorized
for recreational fishing are hook-and-line and spear. Spears may be
propelled by hand or by mechanical means. More fishery-specific gear
restrictions may be required by state as noted in paragraph (c) of this
section (e.g. California's recreational ``other flatfish'' fishery).
(c) State-specific recreational fishery management measures.
Federal recreational groundfish regulations are not intended to
supersede any more restrictive State recreational groundfish
regulations relating to federally-managed groundfish. Off the coast of
Washington, Oregon, and California, boat limits apply, whereby each
fisher aboard a vessel may continue to use angling gear until the
combined daily limits of groundfish for all licensed and juvenile
anglers aboard has been attained (additional state restrictions on boat
limits may apply).
(1) Washington. For each person engaged in recreational fishing in
the EEZ seaward of Washington, the groundfish bag limit is 15
groundfish per day, including rockfish and lingcod, and is open year-
round (except for lingcod). The following sublimits and closed areas
apply:
(i) Recreational Groundfish Conservation Areas off Washington.
(A) Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. Recreational fishing for
groundfish and halibut is prohibited within the YRCA. It is unlawful
for recreational fishing vessels to take, retain, possess, or land
groundfish within the YRCA. The YRCA is defined by latitude and
longitude coordinates specified at Sec. 660.390.
(B) Recreational Rockfish Conservation Area. Fishing for groundfish
with recreational gear is prohibited within the recreational RCA. It is
unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with
recreational gear within the recreational RCA. A vessel fishing in the
recreational RCA may not be in possession of any groundfish. [For
example, if a vessel participates in the recreational salmon fishery
within the RCA, the vessel cannot be in possession of groundfish while
in the RCA. The vessel may, however, on the same trip fish for and
retain groundfish shoreward of the RCA on the return trip to port.] Off
Washington, if recreational fishing for all groundfish is prohibited
seaward of a boundary line approximating the 30-fm (55-m) depth
contour, a document will be published in the Federal Register inseason
pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Coordinates for the boundary line
approximating the 30-fm (55-m) depth contour are listed in Sec.
660.391.
(ii) Rockfish. In areas of the EEZ seaward of Washington that are
open to recreational groundfish fishing, there is a 10 rockfish per day
bag limit. Taking and retaining canary rockfish and yelloweye rockfish
is prohibited.
[[Page 77039]]
(iii) Lingcod. Recreational fishing for lingcod is open between the
closest Saturday to March 15 through the closest Saturday to October
15. For 2005, the lingcod season will be open from March 12 through
October 15. For 2006, the lingcod season will be open from March 18
through October 14. In areas of the EEZ seaward of Washington that are
open to recreational groundfish fishing and when the recreational
season for lingcod is open, there is a bag limit of 2 lingcod per day,
which may be no smaller than 24 in (61 cm) total length.
(2) Oregon--(i) Recreational Groundfish Conservation Areas off
Oregon. Fishing for groundfish with recreational gear is prohibited
within the recreational RCA, a type of closed area or GCA. It is
unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with
recreational gear within the recreational RCA. A vessel fishing in the
recreational RCA may not be in possession of any groundfish. [For
example, if a vessel participates in the recreational salmon fishery
within the RCA, the vessel cannot be in possession of groundfish while
in the RCA. The vessel may, however, on the same trip fish for and
retain groundfish shoreward of the RCA on the return trip to port.] Off
Oregon, from June 1 through September 30, recreational fishing for
groundfish is prohibited seaward of a recreational RCA boundary line
approximating the 40 fm (73 m) depth contour. Coordinates for the
boundary line approximating the 40 fm (73 m) depth contour are listed
at Sec. 660.391. Recreational fishing for all groundfish may be
prohibited inseason seaward of the 20 fm (37 m) depth contour or a
boundary line approximating the 30 fm (55 m) depth contour. If the
closure seaward of the 20 fm (37 m) depth contour or a boundary line
approximating the 30 fm (55 m) depth contour is implemented inseason, a
document will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to Sec.
660.370(c). Coordinates for the boundary line approximating the 30 fm
(55 m) depth contour are listed at Sec. 660.391.
(ii) Seasons. Recreational fishing for groundfish is open from
January 1 through December 31, subject to the closed areas described in
paragraph (c)(2) of this section.
(iii) Bag limits, size limits. The bag limits for each person
engaged in recreational fishing in the EEZ seaward of Oregon are two
lingcod per day, which may be no smaller than 24 in (61 cm) total
length; and 10 marine fish per day, which excludes Pacific halibut,
salmon, tuna, perch species, sturgeon, sanddabs, lingcod, striped bass
and baitfish (herring, smelt, anchovies and sardines), but which
includes rockfish, greenling, cabezon and other groundfish species. The
minimum size limit for cabezon retained in the recreational fishery is
16 in (41 cm) and for greenling is 10 in (26 cm). Taking and retaining
canary rockfish and yelloweye rockfish is prohibited.
(3) California. Seaward of California, California law provides
that, in times and areas when the recreational fishery is open, there
is a 20-fish bag limit for all species of finfish, within which no more
than 10 fish of any one species may be taken or possessed by any one
person. [Note: There are some exceptions to this rule. The following
groundfish species are not subject to a bag limit: petrale sole,
Pacific sanddab and starry flounder.] California state law may provide
regulations similar to Federal regulations for the following state-
managed species: ocean whitefish, California sheephead, and all
greenlings of the genus Hexogrammos. Kelp greenling is the only
federally-managed greenling. Retention of cowcod, yelloweye rockfish,
and canary rockfish is prohibited in the recreational fishery seaward
of California all year in all areas. For each person engaged in
recreational fishing in the EEZ seaward of California, the following
closed areas, seasons, bag limits, and size limits apply:
(i) Recreational Groundfish Conservation Areas off California. A
Groundfish Conservation Area (GCA), a type of closed area, is a
geographic area defined by coordinates expressed in degrees latitude
and longitude. The following GCAs apply to participants in California's
recreational fishery.
(A) Recreational Rockfish Conservation Areas. The recreational RCAs
are areas that are closed to recreational fishing for groundfish.
Fishing for groundfish with recreational gear is prohibited within the
recreational RCA, except that recreational fishing for ``other
flatfish'' is permitted within the recreational RCA as specified in
paragraph (c)(3)(iv) of this section. It is unlawful to take and
retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with recreational gear within
the recreational RCA, unless otherwise authorized in this section. A
vessel fishing in the recreational RCA may not be in possession of any
species prohibited by the restrictions that apply within the
recreational RCA. [For example, if a vessel participates in the
recreational salmon fishery within the RCA, the vessel cannot be in
possession of rockfish while in the RCA. The vessel may, however, on
the same trip fish for and retain rockfish shoreward of the RCA on the
return trip to port.]
(1) Between 42[deg] N. lat. (California/Oregon border) and
40[deg]10.00' N. lat., recreational fishing for all groundfish (except
``other flatfish'' as specified in paragraph (c)(3)(iv) of this
section) is prohibited seaward of a boundary line approximating the 40
fm (73 m) depth contour along the mainland coast and along islands and
offshore seamounts from July 1 through October 31; and is closed
entirely from January 1 through June 30 and from November 1 through
December 31 (i.e., prohibited seaward of the shoreline). Recreational
fishing for all groundfish may be prohibited inseason seaward of a
boundary line approximating the 30 fm (55 m) depth contour. If a
closure seaward of the boundary line approximating the 30 fm (55 m)
depth contour is implemented inseason, a document will be published in
the Federal Register pursuant to Sec. 660.370(c). Coordinates for the
boundary line approximating the 30 fm (55 m) and 40 fm (73 m) depth
contours are specified in Sec. 660.391.
(2) Between 40[deg]10.00' N. lat. and 36[deg]N. lat., recreational
fishing for all groundfish (except ``other flatfish'' as specified in
paragraph (c)(3)(iv) of this section) is prohibited seaward of the 20
fm (37 m) depth contour along the mainland coast and along islands and
offshore seamounts from July 1 through November 30; and is closed
entirely from January 1 through June 30 and from December 1 through
December 31 (i.e., prohibited seaward of the shoreline). Closures
around the Farallon Islands (see paragraph (c)(3)(i)(C) of this
section) and Cordell Banks (see paragraph (c)(3)(i)(D) of this section)
also apply in this area.

18. Section 660.385 is added to read as follows:
Sec. 660.385 Washington coastal tribal fisheries management measures.
In 1994, the United States formally recognized that the four
Washington coastal treaty Indian tribes (Makah, Quileute, Hoh, and
Quinault) have treaty rights to fish for groundfish in the Pacific
Ocean, and concluded that, in general terms, the quantification of
those rights is 50 percent of the harvestable surplus of groundfish
that pass through the tribes usual and accustomed fishing areas
(described at 50 CFR 660.324). Tribal fishery allocations for sablefish
and whiting, are provided in paragraphs (a) and (e) of this section,
respectively, and the tribal harvest guideline for black rockfish is
provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this section. Trip limits for certain
species were recommended by the tribes and the Council for 2005-2006
and are specified here with the tribal allocations.
(a) Sablefish. In 2005, the tribal allocation is 731.4 mt and in
2006 the tribal allocation is 719.4 mt. These allocations are, for each
year, 10 percent of the total catch OY, less 2.3 percent estimated
discard mortality.
(b) Rockfish. (1) For the commercial harvest of black rockfish off
Washington State, a harvest guideline of: 20,000 lb (9,072 kg) north of
Cape Alava, WA (48[deg]09'30'' N. lat.) and 10,000 lb (4,536 kg)
between Destruction Island, WA (47[deg]40'00'' N. lat.) and Leadbetter
Point, WA (46[deg]38'10'' N. lat.). There are no tribal harvest
restrictions for the area between Cape Alava and Destruction Island.
(2) Thornyheads are subject to a 300-lb (136-kg) trip limit.
(3) Canary rockfish are subject to a 300-lb (136-kg) trip limit.
(4) Yelloweye rockfish are subject to a 100-lb (45-kg) trip limit.
(5) The Makah Tribe will manage the midwater trawl fisheries as
follows: yellowtail rockfish taken in the directed tribal mid-water
trawl fisheries are subject to a cumulative limit of 180,000 lb (81,647
kg) per 2-month period for the entire fleet. Landings of widow rockfish
must not exceed 10 percent of the weight of yellowtail rockfish landed
in any two-month period. These limits may be adjusted by the tribe
inseason to minimize the incidental catch of canary rockfish and widow
rockfish.
(6) Other rockfish, including minor nearshore, minor shelf, and
minor slope rockfish groups are subject to a 300-lb (136-kg) trip limit
per species or species group, or to the non-tribal limited entry trip
limit for those species if those limits are less restrictive than 300
lb (136 kg) per trip.
(7) Rockfish taken during open competition tribal commercial
fisheries for Pacific halibut will not be subject to trip limits.
(c) Lingcod. Lingcod are subject to a 600 lb (272 kg) daily trip
limit and a 1,800 lb (816 kg) weekly limit, unless taken in the treaty
salmon troll fisheries. Lingcod taken in the treaty salmon troll
fisheries are subject to a 1,000 lb (454 kg) daily trip limit and a
4,000 lb (1,814 kg) weekly limit.
(d) Flatfish and other fish. Treaty fishing vessels using bottom
trawl gear are subject to the limits applicable to the non-tribal
limited entry trawl fishery for Pacific cod, English sole, rex sole,
arrowtooth flounder, and other flatfish that are published at the
beginning of the year. Treaty fishing vessels are restricted to a
50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per 2-month limit for petrale sole for the entire
year.
(e) Pacific whiting. Whiting allocations will be announced when the
final OY is announced in the Federal Register.

19. Section 660.390 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 660.390 Groundfish conservation areas.
In Sec. 660.302, a groundfish conservation area is defined as ``a
geographic area defined by coordinates expressed in latitude and
longitude, created and enforced for the purpose of contributing to the
rebuilding of overfished West Coast groundfish species.'' While some
groundfish conservation areas may be designed with the intent that
their shape be determined by ocean bottom depth contours, their shapes
are defined in regulation by latitude/longitude coordinates and are
enforced by those coordinates. Latitude/longitude coordinates
designating the large-scale boundaries for rockfish conservation areas
are found in Sec. Sec. 660.391 through 660.394. Fishing activity that
is prohibited or permitted within a particular groundfish conservation
area is detailed in Federal Register documents associated with the
harvest specifications and management measures process and at Sec.
660.381 through Sec. 660.384.
