Reallocation of Pollock from the Aleutian Islands to the Bering Sea

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is reallocating the projected unused amounts of non Community Development Quota (CDQ) pollock and CDQ pollock from the Aleutian Islands subarea to the Bering Sea subarea. These actions are necessary to provide opportunity for harvest of the 2006 total allowable catch of pollock, consistent with the goals and objectives of the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area.

The changes to tables 3, 10, and 11 of the 2006 and 2007 final harvest specifications for groundfish in the BSAI (71 FR 10894, March 3, 2006) can be found at:

Table 3: http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/specs06_07/BSAItable3.pdf
Table 10: http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/specs06_07/BSAItable10.pdf
Table 11: http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/sustainablefisheries/specs06_07/BSAItable11.pdf

Fishermen are reminded that all actions and closures remain in full force and effect. This reallocation does not rescind or modify closures to directed fishing or actions prohibiting retention of a groundfish species.

This information bulletin only provides notice of a regulatory change. For the purposes of complying with the regulatory change, you are advised to see the actual text of the regulation in the Code of Federal Regulations.
