Specifications and Management Measures

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Commerce.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes a rule to implement 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. The proposed 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) proposed in this rule would be allocated between the limited 
entry and open access fisheries and between different sectors of the 
limited entry fleet. Proposed 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: Comments on all issues except on the 2006 Oregon commercial/
recreational black rockfish harvest guidelines must be received no 
later than 5 p.m., local time (l.t.,) on October 21, 2004. Comments on 
the 2006 Oregon commercial/recreational black rockfish harvest 
guidelines must be received no later than 5 p.m., l.t. on December 30, 
2004.

Background

    The Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) requires 
the Council to set harvest specifications and management measures for 
groundfish at least biennially. In some cases, the Council may choose 
to set harvest specifications and management measures for some species, 
such as Pacific whiting, on an annual basis. For most of the 80+ 
species managed under the FMP, however, fishery specifications will be 
set biennially. The Council moved to this biennial management process 
via Amendment 17 to the FMP, which NMFS approved on August 19, 2003. 
The first biennial fishing period to which this process applies is 
January 1, 2005, through December 31, 2006.
    In 2004 and prior years, the groundfish harvest specifications and 
management measures were implemented via publication in the Federal 
Register. Similar to 2004, the 2005-2006 harvest specifications and 
management measures will be implemented through a final rule published 
in the Federal Register. However, that final rule will codify the 
harvest specifications and management measures in Federal regulations 
at 50 CFR part 660, subpart G for Pacific Coast groundfish, not simply 
via publication in the Federal Register itself. In order to ensure that 
the agency would have space in the codified regulations for the 
groundfish harvest specifications and management measures, NMFS 
published a correcting amendment at 69 FR 42345 (July 15, 2004) to 
reorganize those regulations. As a result of this reorganization, more 
broadly applicable management measures are found in 50 CFR 660.370, 
followed by season frameworks and regulations for black rockfish, 
660.373. Groundfish harvest specifications for 2005 and beyond will be 
found in Sec.  660.380, followed by fishery-specific management 
measures in Sec. Sec.  660.381 through 660.385. Coordinates delineating 
the Groundfish Conservation Areas (GCAs) are found in Sec. Sec.  
660.390 through 660.394. Commercial fisheries allocations, which were 
formerly codified in Sec.  660.323(b)(4) and Sec.  660.332, are now 
found in Sec. Sec.  660.320 through 660.323. As in 2004 and prior 
years, the Council's ABC and OY policies, new stock assessments since 
the setting of the 2004 specifications, bycatch reduction measures, 
fishery-specific management measures, and other issues related to this 
2005-2006 management package are discussed later in the preamble to 
this proposed 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 proposed 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

[[Page 56551]]

restrictions, and time/area closures. Recreational management measures 
include bag limits, size limits, gear restrictions, and time/area 
closures. NMFS is proposing to continue the coastwide depth-based 
management program that it 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.

ABC Policy and Overfished Species Rebuilding

    The Council assesses the biological condition of the Pacific Coast 
groundfish fishery and develops annual estimates of the acceptable 
biological catch (ABC) for major groundfish stocks and identifies the 
annual harvest levels or OYs for the species or species groups that it 
manages. When setting the 2005 and 2006 ABCs, the Council maintained a 
policy of using a default harvest rate as a proxy for the fishing 
mortality rate that is expected to achieve the maximum sustainable 
yield (FMSY). The 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 were set to allow each stock to rebuild within a 
period of time specific to that stock.
    The ABC for a species or species group is generally derived by 
multiplying the harvest rate proxy by the current estimated biomass. In 
2005 and 2006, the following default harvest rate proxies, based on the 
Council's Scientific and Statistical Committee (SSC) recommendations, 
were used: F40% for flatfish and Pacific Whiting, F50% for rockfish 
(including thornyheads), and F45% for other groundfish such as 
sablefish and lingcod. A rate of F40% may be explained as that which 
reduces spawning potential per female to 40 percent of what it would 
have been under natural conditions (if there were no mortality due to 
fishing), and is therefore a more aggressive rate than F45% or F50%. 
The FMP allows default harvest rate proxies to be modified as 
scientific knowledge improves for a particular species.
    A fishing mortality or harvest rate will mean different things for 
different stocks, depending on the productivity of a particular 
species. For fast growing species (those with individuals that mature 
quickly and produce many young that survive to an age where they are 
caught in the fishery) a higher fishing mortality rate may be used, 
such as F40%. Fishing mortality rate policies must account for several 
complicating factors, including the capacity of mature individuals to 
produce young over time and the optimal stock size necessary for the 
highest level of productivity within that stock.
    For some groundfish species, there was little or no detailed 
biological data available on which to base ABCs, and therefore only 
rudimentary stock assessments were prepared. For other species, the ABC 
levels were established on the basis of historical landings. As 
described below, a precautionary approach has been taken in setting 
ABCs and OYs for species with no, or only rudimentary, stock 
assessments.
    For stocks with less rigorous or rudimentary stock assessments, the 
Council's policy had been to assume that fishing mortality was equal to 
natural mortality (F=M); however, further analysis by the SSC in 2000 
established that assuming fishing mortality to be 75 percent of natural 
mortality (F=0.75M) was a more appropriate risk-neutral proxy for 
fishing mortality. This proxy was therefore adopted by the Council to 
establish ABCs for stocks with less rigorous assessments. As described 
below, a precautionary approach has been taken in setting ABCs and OYs 
for species with no, or only rudimentary, stock assessments.
    The 2005 and 2006 ABCs are based on the best scientific information 
available to the Council at its April and June 2004 meetings. The ABCs 
in Tables 1 and 2 represent total fishing mortality (landed catch plus 
discards). Where the stock assessments included Canadian waters, the 
ABCs are appropriately reduced from the coastwide ABC, and apply only 
to U.S. waters. Stock assessment information considered in determining 
the ABCs may be obtained from the Council. Stock assessment documents 
and related reports were made available to the public prior to the 
Council's April 2004 meeting. Additional information on the groundfish 
stocks may be found in the EIS prepared for this action and in 
documents that were available at the April and June 2004 Council 
meetings (see ADDRESSES).

OY Policy

    The Council uses a precautionary policy, which was adopted in 1999, 
for setting OYs. The precautionary policy, referred to as the 40-10 
policy, is intended to prevent species or stocks from becoming 
overfished. If the stock biomass is larger than the biomass needed to 
produce MSY (BMSY), the OY may be set equal to or less than 
ABC. The Council uses 40 percent of the unfished biomass as a default 
proxy for BMSY, also referred to as B40[percnt]. 
A stock with a current biomass between 25 percent of the unfished level 
and B MSY (the 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 further the stock is below the precautionary threshold, the greater 
the reduction in OY relative to the ABC, until, at B10%, the OY would 
be set at zero. This is, in effect, a default rebuilding policy that 
will foster a more rapid return to the BMSY level than would 
fishing at the ABC level. The Council generally uses this default 
policy for species in the precautionary zone. For overfished species, 
those that have been assessed as below 
B25[percnt], the Council has developed species-
specific rebuilding plans. For further information on the 40-10 policy 
see the preamble of the final rule to implement Amendment 16-1 to the 
FMP (February 26, 2004, 69 FR 8861) or the FMP at Section 4.5.
    The Council may recommend setting the OY higher than what the 
default OY harvest policy specifies, if justified, and as long as the 
OY does not exceed the ABC (which is set at FMSY), complies 
with the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and is consistent 
with the National Standard Guidelines. On a case-by-case basis, 
additional precaution may be warranted if there is uncertainty in the 
data or a higher risk of a species being overfished. If a stock falls 
below 25 percent of its unfished biomass 
(B25[percnt]) and is declared overfished, the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act requires the Council to develop a rebuilding plan 
within one year from the declaration date. Rebuilding plans for 
overfished species generally have stock-specific allowable harvest 
rates based on a rebuilding analysis.
    Based on its SSC's recommendations, the Council has used a 
precautionary adjustment policy that requires the OYs for those stocks 
with rudimentary stock assessments to be set at 75 percent of their 
ABCs. For further information on precautionary adjustments for 
rudimentarily assessed stocks, see the preamble discussion of the 
Annual Specification and Management Measures published on January 11, 
2001 (66 FR 2338).
    When determining numerical OYs for individual species and species 
groups for which the ABC is based on a non-quantitative assessment, the 
Council may apply precautionary adjustments. Since 2000, the Council 
has adjusted the OYs for several unassessed stocks to 50 percent of the 
historical average catch levels.

[[Page 56552]]

ABCs and OYs under Multi-year Management

    A biennial management cycle adopted under Amendment 17 to the FMP, 
is being used to establish the 2005 and 2006 harvest specifications and 
management measures. At the beginning of the two year management cycle, 
two one-year ABCs and OYs will be adopted for each species or species 
group the Council proposes to manage. The annual OYs will be applied in 
the same manner as has been done in previous years. If an OY is not 
achieved or is exceeded in the first year, the underage or overage will 
not be transferred to the following year, as this could result in 
severe fishing and management problems in the second year. However, 
when appropriate, management measures will be adjusted in order to 
achieve, but not exceed, OYs the following year.
    New stock assessments will be prepared during the first year of the 
biennial cycle. In the second year, the new assessments will be 
reviewed and adopted for use in the next biennial management cycle. 
During the fall of 2004, the Council plans to develop a process for 
reviewing current harvest levels in the middle of a biennial cycle 
based on new stock assessments information.

2005 and 2006 ABCs and OYs

    The species that had ABCs and OYs in 2004 continue to have ABCs and 
OYs in 2005 and 2006. Changes that have been made since 2004 that 
affect the ABCs and OYs for 2005 and 2006 include: (1) the completion 
of full stock assessments for cabezon and lingcod; (2) the Council's 
approval of FMP Amendment 16-3, which includes rebuilding plans for 
widow rockfish, bocaccio, cowcod and yelloweye rockfish; (3) the 
signing of the U.S.-Canada catch sharing agreement for whiting and a 
2004 assessment that estimates the whiting stock biomass to be above 
the rebuilding threshold; (4) changes in the catch distribution of 
canary rockfish between commercial and recreational fisheries; (5) the 
application of precautionary adjustments to Pacific Cod, ``other 
flatfish'' and ``other fish'' OYs; and (6) the adoption of state 
specific harvest guidelines for black rockfish.
Cabezon
    The first stock assessment for cabezon was prepared in 2003 and 
used an age structured model fitted to data on harvest levels, 
abundance, and catch length. Due to differences in catch history, 
trends in fishing effort, and biological parameters (mainly growth 
rates), the coastwide stock assessment was divided into northern and 
southern portions with the division being made at the Oregon-California 
border (42[deg] N. lat.). This division allowed state-specific data, 
where available, to be incorporated into the assessment. Because few 
data were available to assess the stock in waters north of the Oregon-
California border, the Stock Assessment Team (STAT) recommended that 
only the southern portion of the assessment be used for 2005 and 2006 
harvest specifications. North of 42[deg] N. Lat., cabezon will continue 
to be managed as part of the ``other fish'' complex for 2005 and 2006.
    Although considerable effort was taken to compile relevant data and 
information on cabezon, the lack of a dedicated fishery-dependent 
biomass index resulted in a cabezon specific assessment that differs 
from assessments for most other West Coast groundfish stocks. The 
cabezon assessment relies on fishery dependent abundance indices based 
on recreational CPUE, and limited information on larval abundance. 
Although no dedicated biomass indices exist for cabezon, the alternate 
data sources used in the assessment were considered sufficient for use 
in a stock assessment model. Various types of uncertainty resulting 
from limited data were recognized and dealt with through the use of 
sensitivity analyses.
    Because of uncertainty in deriving assessment parameters for 
natural mortality and stock productivity, three different model 
scenarios in which these parameters varied were brought forward for 
consideration. The model variation recommended by the SSC (referred to 
as the ``posterior distribution nine'' analysis in the original 
assessment) was considered to be a reasonable way to incorporate 
uncertainty. However, the SSC indicated that a full Bayesian analysis 
would be preferred in the future.
    At its November 2003 meeting, the Council and the SSC reviewed the 
results of the new stock assessment. The SSC expressed concern that the 
time series of recreational logbook data used in the model may have 
been incorrectly truncated to 1960 rather than extending back to 1947, 
excluding the 1947-1959 time period when cabezon harvests were highest. 
The SSC believed that inclusion of these data could change the model 
output relevant to stock depletion. Following consideration of the 
model, the Council recommended that the recreational logbook data be 
re-evaluated for the March 2004 meeting.
    On February 25, 2004, the SSC held a public teleconference to 
review revisions to the cabezon stock assessment. The new assessment 
results presented by the STAT indicated that inclusion of the earlier 
years' data (1947-1959) did not have a major impact on the conclusions 
of the assessment, particularly in regard to stock depletion. For 
example: the 2003 spawning biomass was estimated to be 34.7 percent of 
the unfished biomass with the inclusion of the earlier years of logbook 
data and 33.4 percent with the data truncated to 1960. Because the 
application of the 40-10 harvest policy is linked to the percent of 
unfished biomass, the OY would increase from 60.5 mt to 74.5 mt with 
the inclusion of the earlier data (a 23-percent increase).
    The STAT recommended not including the pre-1960 data, because they 
believed that the pre-1960 data were self-reported by the fishermen and 
had not been verified by independent sampling. However, the 
recreational logbook data from 1947-1951 for the areas between San 
Francisco and San Diego have been reviewed by (CDFG) and the data were 
found to have been very accurate (within 4 percent for all species and 
10 percent for cabezon). After reviewing the available information, the 
SSC indicated that there was adequate evidence to believe that the pre-
1960s data should be included in the assessment model. The SSC 
recommended, and the Council adopted for 2005 and 2006, the model runs 
that included the new catch data and CPUE index dating back to 1947.
    For 2005 and 2006, the Council considered cabezon ABC alternatives 
based on the newly adopted stock assessment with the application of 
different harvest rate proxies. These included: a low ABC alternative 
of 88 mt for 2005 and a 94 mt ABC for 2006, based on a harvest rate 
proxy of F50[percnt]; and a high ABC alternative 
of 103 mt for 2005 and 108 mt for 2006, based on a harvest rate proxy 
of F45[percnt].
    Three alternative OYs were considered for each year. The low OY 
alternatives of 44 mt for 2005 and 63 mt for 2006 were based on a 
harvest rate proxy of F50[percnt] with the 
application of the 60-20 harvest policy. The 60-20 harvest policy is 
used by the state of California for nearshore species in which the 
biomass is estimated to be within their 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 stocks' unfished biomass rather than at 40

[[Page 56553]]

percent. The OY is reduced in relation to the ABC, until, at 
B20[percnt], the OY would be set at zero. The 
mid-range OY alternatives of 69 mt for both 2005 and for 2006 were 
based on a constant harvest level recommended by the California 
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The high OY alternatives of 91 mt 
for 2005 and 107 mt for 2006 were based on the harvest rate proxy of 
F45[percnt] with the application of the 40-10 
harvest policy.
    The Council considered these cabezon 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 level over the 2 year period is expected to help stabilize the 
fishery, which primarily occurs in state waters off California, and 
management measures.
Lingcod
    A new coastwide stock assessment, based on a Coleraine statistical 
catch-at-age model, was prepared for lingcod in 2003. Although there 
appears to be no genetic difference between fish in the north and 
south, separate northern and southern assessment models were used to 
describe the population trends. The northern assessment applied to the 
stock in the Vancouver and Columbia areas (U.S. waters north of 43[deg] 
N. lat.), and the southern assessment applied to the stock in the 
Eureka, Monterey, and Conception areas (U.S. waters south of 43[deg] N. 
lat.). The coastwide biomass was calculated by summing the outputs of 
the two models. Because historical data are more sparse for the 
southern areas than for the northern areas, model uncertainty was 
higher in the south than in the north.
    At the Council's November meeting, the SSC discovered that 
recruitment variability, a key parameter specified in the model, was 
mis-specified (too low) in both the northern and southern models. As a 
result, the recruitment values used in the rebuilding analysis were too 
small and suggested that the stock was rebuilding at a slower rate. 
Because the error in recruitment variability could have affected the 
STAR panel recommendation, the SSC recommended that the model be re-
evaluated by the STAR panel. The SSC specifically requested that the 
recruitment variability parameter and the improvement in fit that 
accompanied the shift to dome shaped selectivity curves be evaluated. 
The SSC also recommended that the rebuilding analysis be recalculated 
using the output of the revised model. The Council adopted the SSC 
recommendations that the revisions be completed and reviewed by the 
STAR panel in time for the Council's March 2004 meeting.
    On February 25, 2004, the SSC held a public tele-conference to 
review revisions to the lingcod stock assessment. The STAT reviewed the 
increase in the recruitment variable at increments of 0.1. The model 
fit improved as the recruitment variable increased, but deteriorated 
above 0.5. Overall, larger recruitment variables better accounted for 
the observed data, with 0.5 indicating a strong 1999 year class, 
consistent with catch at age data from the shelf survey and commercial 
fisheries. 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.
    The STAT ran the rebuilding analysis with the new recruitment 
variable of 0.5, and computed coastwide rebuilding values based on the 
sum of the output of the two models. 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, the stock is less than 1 percent below the rebuilt target of 
B40[percnt].
    Due to the different biological characteristics between the areas, 
the SSC continues to support summing the results of the two assessments 
to derive the coastwide value. The coastwide ABCs based on the newly 
adopted stock assessment are 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.
    The SSC recommended using different harvest rates for the two 
areas. When specific data are available, region-specific regulations 
could be beneficial to the biology of the stock. If regional 
differences are not recognized, overfishing could occur in the south.
    The coastwide OY alternatives considered by the Council included: a 
low OY of 918 mt (574 mt for the north and 344 mt for the south) for 
2005 and 940 mt (574 mt for the north and 366 mt for the south) for 
2006; a mid-range OY of 2,588 mt (1,874 mt for the north and 714 mt for 
the south) for 2005 and 2,414 mt (1,694 mt for the north and 719 mt for 
the south)for 2006; and a high OY of 2,626 mt (1,874 mt for the north 
and 762 mt for the south) for 2005 and 2,459 mt (1,694 mt for the north 
and 764 mt for the south) for 2006. The low OY alternative, which was 
consistent with the lingcod rebuilding plan adopted under Amendment 16-
2, was based on the harvest control rules of F=0.0531 in the north and 
F=0.0610 in the south and a >70 percent probability of rebuilding 
within the maximum allowable time (TMAX). The mid-range OY 
alternative was based on a harvest control rule of F=0.17 in the north 
and F=0.15 in the south and a 70 percent probability of rebuilding 
within TMAX. The high OY was based on a harvest control rule 
of F=0.18 in the north and F=0.16 in the south, and a 60 percent 
probability of rebuilding within TMAX.
    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. A 
constant harvest level over the two year period is expected to better 
stabilize the fishery and the management measures. 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 
assessment, and they do not want an increase in effort in the fishery. 
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 the northern or southern areas.
    The OY of 2,414 mt for both 2005 and 2006 results in the same 
target rebuilding year as is currently in regulation at 50 CFR 
660.365(c) (69 FR 19347, April 13, 2004). However taking into account 
the new stock assessment, this action proposes to revise the harvest 
control rule from F=0.0531 to F=0.17 in the north and from F=0.061 to 
F=0.15 in the south. Further discussion on rebuilding measures can be 
found in the ``Overfished Species'' section of this document.
    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. Because this north-south division is 
different from the north-south division used in the stock assessment 
(43[deg] N. lat), a formula based on the catch-per-unit-of-effort data 
from the Alaska Fishery Science Center's 1995-2001 shelf survey was 
used to estimate the proportion of lingcod in the southern assessment 
that is found in the area between 42[deg] N. lat and 43[deg] N. lat. As 
a result, 107 mt was deducted from the OY based on the southern stock 
assessment and was added to the OY based on the northern stock 
assessment. The resulting OYs are: 612 mt for southern area in waters 
off

[[Page 56554]]

California, and 1,801 mt for northern area waters off Washington and 
Oregon.
    For the states to better manage 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 their recreational catches 
and adjust state management measures to keep the harvests within the 
harvest guideline. For the recreational fisheries in the northern area 
the harvest guideline will be 206 mt in 2005 and 239 mt in 2006. For 
the recreational fisheries in the southern area, the harvest guideline 
will be 422 mt in both 2005 and 2006. For further detail see Tables 1 
and 2 and the associated footnotes.
    For the commercial fishery harvest guideline, the amount of lingcod 
remaining in the northern and southern OY after the deductions for the 
recreational harvest guideline, will be combined into a single 
coastwide harvest guideline. The commercial fisheries will then be 
managed on a coastwide basis.
 Widow Rockfish
    Widow rockfish was declared an overfished species in 2001. In 2003, 
a coastwide stock assessment and rebuilding analysis were prepared and 
the widow rockfish biomass was estimated to be at 24.7 percent of its 
unfished biomass coastwide in 2002.
    Three different model scenarios, which used different power 
coefficients to estimate juvenile mortality in survey data, were the 
basis for the 2005 and 2006 ABC and OY alternatives. A juvenile 
mortality power coefficient is a measure for estimating the amount of 
juvenile fish that could mature and enter the fishery in the future. 
The three model scenarios chosen by the SSC were called models 7, 8 
(the base model), and 9. The use of power coefficients for estimating 
juvenile mortality using the midwater juvenile trawl survey data was 
discussed by the SSC. The SSC concluded that the different values were 
equally likely, leaving no statistical basis for choosing among the 
three different models. However, the SSC determined that there was a 
biological basis for recommending a power coefficient range between the 
values of 2.0 and 4.0.
    The ABC alternatives were based on the different model scenarios 
discussed above with the application of an F50[percnt] 
FMSY proxy. The ABCs for 2005 were: 2,833 mt from model 7 
with a power coefficient of 2.0, 3,218 mt from model 8 with a power 
coefficient of 3.0, and 3,668 mt from model 9 with a power coefficient 
of 4.0. The ABCs for 2006 were: 2,670 mt from model 7 with a power 
coefficient of 2.0, 3,059 mt from model 8 with a power coefficient of 
3.0, and 3,510 mt from model 9 with a power coefficient of 4.0.
    The OYs considered by the Council were consistent with the 
rebuilding plan parameters adopted for widow rockfish under Amendment 
16-3. Amendment 16-3 considered rebuilding plan alternatives that 
included each of the three model scenarios (7, 8, & 9) and an array of 
PMAX probabilities, between 60 and 90 percent.
    The OY alternatives considered by the Council for 2005 and 2006 
were as follows: a low OY of 0 mt for both years based on model 7 with 
a 90 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX, a target 
rebuilding year of 2030, and with a harvest rate of F=0; the mid-range 
OYs of 285 mt for 2005 and 289 mt for 2006 based on model 8 with a 60 
percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX, a target rebuilding year of 
2038, and with a harvest rate of F=0.0093; and the high OYs of 505 mt 
for 2005 and 513 mt for 2006 based on model 9 with a 60 percent 
probability of rebuilding by TMAX, a target rebuilding year 
of 2034, and with a harvest rate of F=0.0146. After consideration of 
the widow rockfish rebuilding plan under Amendment 16-3, the Council 
recommended adopting the ABC and OYs resulting from the application of 
model 8 and a TMAX of 60 percent. The recommended ABCs were 
3,218 mt for 2005 and 3,059 mt for 2006 and the recommended OYs were 
285 mt for 2005 and 289 mt for 2006.
    Amendment 16-3 to the FMP was adopted by the Council in April 2004. 
NMFS is in the process of developing final regulations to implement 
widow rockfish rebuilding parameters in Federal regulations. The 
rebuilding plan establishes a target rebuilding year of 2038 and a 
harvest control rule of F=0.0093. A proposed rule was published on July 
7, 2004 (69 FR 40851) and will be followed by a final rule in autumn 
2004. The 2005 OY of 285 mt and the 2006 OY of 289 mt results in the 
same target rebuilding year and harvest control rule as proposed in the 
widow rockfish rebuilding plan. Further discussion on rebuilding 
measures may be found in the ``Overfished Species'' section of this 
document.
Bocaccio
    The ABC and OY alternatives considered for 2005 and 2006 were based 
on the most recent bocaccio assessment, which was prepared in 2003 for 
the Conception and Monterey areas. The bocaccio rockfish spawning stock 
biomass was estimated to be at 7.4 percent of its unfished biomass in 
the Monterey and Conception areas in 2002.
    In 2003, two different base-run assessment models were developed to 
address contradictions between the recreational data, which showed a 
substantial increase in abundance of bocaccio, and the triennial survey 
data, which has remained relatively flat and showed little change in 
abundance in the last three years of assessment data. The first model 
(STARb1) omitted data from the triennial survey and held the estimated 
recruitment constant to 1959, whereas the second model (STARb2) omitted 
the recreational CPUE data and held the recruitment constant to 1969. 
In addition, a third model (STATc), was recommended by the assessment 
author after the STAR panel review had been completed and reviewed by 
Statistical Assessment Team. The STATc model combined the attributes of 
both models and both data sources, the estimated recruitment held 
constant to 1959, and placing a lower emphasis on the stock-recruitment 
relationship. For 2004, after an in-depth discussion that considered 
the trade offs among the alternative model approaches and other 
factors, the SSC concluded that an intermediate alternative warranted 
consideration, and that the STATc model was a reasonable approach.
    The Council considered three ABCs for each year based on the 
different stock assessment models with the application of an 
FMSY proxy of F50[percnt]. First, the 
low ABC alternatives of 447 mt for 2005 and 443 mt for 2006, which were 
based on the STARb2 model. Second, the mid-range ABC alternatives of 
566 mt for 2005 and 549 mt for 2006 which were based on the STATc 
model. Third, the high ABC alternatives value of 745 mt for 2005 and 
733 mt for 2006 which were from the STARb1 model. The Council 
recommended the mid-range ABC of 566 mt for 2005 and 549 mt for 2006.
    NMFS prepared a bocaccio rebuilding analysis for the Council in 
2004. The OYs considered by the Council were based on the results of 
the 2003 assessment and the rebuilding plans proposed under Amendment 
16-3. The Council considered a range of OYs for 2005 and 2006 that was 
consistent with the range of alternatives being considered for the 
bocaccio rebuilding plan under Amendment 16-3. The rebuilding plan 
alternatives were based on different base-run assessment models and a 
range of probabilities, between 60 and 90 percent, of rebuilding within 
the maximum allowable time (TMAX). The following OY 
alternatives were considered by the Council: the low OYs

[[Page 56555]]

of 134 mt for 2005 and 140 mt for 2006, based on the STARb2 model with 
an 90 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX; the mid-
range OYs of 307 mt for 2005 and 308 mt for 2006, based on the STATc 
model with an 70 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX; and the 
high OYs of 713 mt for 2005 and 704 mt for 2006, based on the STARb1 
model with an 60 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX.
    After consideration of the bocaccio rebuilding plan under Amendment 
16-3 to the FMP, the Council recommended a rebuilding plan, based on 
the STATc model, with a 70 percent probability of rebuilding the stock 
to its spawning stock biomass by 2032 (TMAX) with a 
targetrebuilding year of 2032, and a harvest control rule of F=0.0498. 
The resulting ABCs, which are equivalent to the mid-range alternative 
above, are 566 mt for 2005 and 549 mt for 2006. The resulting OYs are 
307 mt for 2005 and 289 mt for 2006. The final rule to implement 
Amendment 16-3 will implement in Federal regulations rebuilding 
parameters for bocaccio that establish a target rebuilding year (2023) 
and a harvest control rule (F=0.0093).
Cowcod
    The 2005 and 2006 ABC and OY alternatives for cowcod were based on 
the most recent stock assessment which was prepared in 1999, for the 
Conception area. In 1999, the cowcod spawning stock biomass was 
estimated to be at less than 10 percent of its unfished biomass and was 
therefore declared as overfished on January 4, 2000 (65 FR 221).
    In 2003, a rebuilding review was conducted for cowcod. This review 
thoroughly examined the recreational and commercial fishery removals in 
relation to the ABC and OY levels that were established for rebuilding. 
The review concluded that the total removals of cowcod have declined in 
accordance with the rebuilding-based harvest specifications that were 
first established in 2000. In addition, fishery closures in the Cowcod 
Conservation Areas (CCAs) were expected to add further protection to 
the stock. However, data were not available from the CCA areas to 
estimate the benefit of these closures to the cowcod stock. For further 
information on the 2003 rebuilding review for cowcod, see the preamble 
discussion of the proposed Annual Specifications and Management 
Measures published on January 8, 2004 (69 FR 1380).
    The cowcod ABC in the Conception area (5 mt) is based on the 1999 
assessment, while the ABC for the Monterey (19 mt) is based on average 
landings from 1993-1997. The OYs considered by the Council were based 
the 2000 rebuilding analysis and the rebuilding plans proposed under 
Amendment 16-3. At the Council's April 2004 meeting, the 2005 and 2006 
harvest specifications for cowcod were considered at the same time as 
the cowcod rebuilding plan under Amendment 16-3. The range of OYs for 
2005 and 2006 were consistent with the parameters adopted for the 
cowcod rebuilding plan under Amendment 16-3. The low OY alternative was 
4.2 mt (2.1 mt in the Monterey area and 2.1 mt in the Conception area) 
for both 2005 and 2006 and was based on a 60 percent probability of 
rebuilding by TMAX. The high OY was 4.8 mt (2.4 mt in the 
Monterey area and 2.4 mt in the Conception area) for both 2005 and 2006 
and was based on a 55 percent probability of rebuilding by 
TMAX. Due to limited data and the limitations of the stock 
assessment model, alternatives with rebuilding probabilities greater 
than 60 percent could not be derived. The final rule to implement 
Amendment 16-3 will implement in Federal regulations rebuilding 
parameters for cowcod that establish a target rebuilding year as 2090, 
which is consistent with a 60 percent probability of rebuilding the 
stock to Bmsy by TMAX (2099), and a harvest control rule of 
F=0.009. Further discussion on rebuilding measures can be found in the 
``Overfished Species'' section of this document.
Yelloweye Rockfish
    A full stock assessment was last prepared for yelloweye rockfish in 
2001 and was updated for 2002. In 2002 following the assessment update, 
yelloweye rockfish was believed to be at 24.1 percent of its unfished 
biomass coastwide. On January 11, 2002 yelloweye rockfish was declared 
overfished (67 FR 1555), after which NMFS prepared a yelloweye rockfish 
rebuilding analysis.
    The 2005 yelloweye rockfish ABC of 54 mt and the 2006 ABC of 55 mt 
were projected from the 2002 stock assessment update with the 
application of a harvest rate proxy of F50%. The OYs 
considered by the Council were based on the 2002 revised rebuilding 
analysis (August 2002) and the rebuilding plan proposed under Amendment 
16-3. The Council considered the following range of OYs for 2005 and 
2006 that encompassed the range of rebuilding parameters being 
considered for the yelloweye rockfish rebuilding plan under Amendment 
16-3: the low OYs of 24 mt for 2005 and 25 mt for 2006, which were 
based on a 90 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX (2071); the 
mid-range OYs of 27 mt for 2005 and 28 mt for 2006, which were based on 
a 70 percent probability of rebuilding by TMAX; and the high OYs of 28 
mt for 2005 and 29 mt for 2006, which were based on a 60 percent 
probability of rebuilding by TMAX.
    At the Council's April 2004 meeting, the 2005 and 2006 harvest 
specifications for yelloweye rockfish were considered at the same time 
as the yelloweye rockfish rebuilding plan under Amendment 16-3. The 
rebuilding plan recommended by the Council would specify that the 
target rebuilding year (2058) be consistent with a 80 percent 
probability of rebuilding the stock to Bmsy by TMAX (2071), 
and a harvest control rule of F=0.0153 be applied to determine the 
annual OYs. When the rebuilding parameters recommended under Amendment 
16-3 were applied, the resulting OYs were 26 mt for 2005 and 27 mt for 
2006 (the mid range OY), which falls between the low and mid-range OYs 
initially considered by the Council. Further discussion on rebuilding 
measures may be found in the ``Overfished Species'' section of this 
document.
Pacific Whiting
    In general, whiting is a very productive species with highly 
variable recruitment (the biomass of fish that mature and enter the 
fishery each year) patterns and a relatively short life span when 
compared to other overfished groundfish species. In 1987, the whiting 
biomass was at a historical high level due to an exceptionally large 
number of fish that spawned in 1980 and 1984 (fish spawned during a 
particular year are referred to as a year class). As these large year 
classes of fish passed through the population and were replaced by 
moderate sized year classes, the stock declined. The whiting stock 
stabilized between 1995 and 1997, but then declined to its lowest level 
in 2001.
    In 2002, a whiting stock assessment was prepared. It estimated the 
female spawning biomass to be less than 20 percent of the unfished 
biomass. As a result of the 2002 assessment, the whiting stock was 
believed to be below the overfished threshold in 2001 and was, 
therefore, declared overfished on April 15, 2002 (67 FR 18117). Since 
2001, while the whiting stock was managed under the 40-10 default 
harvest policy discussed earlier, the biomass increased substantially 
as a strong 1999 year class had matured and entered the spawning 
population.
    An age-structured assessment model was used to prepare a new 
coastwide stock assessment in 2004. The stock

[[Page 56556]]

assessment was examined by a joint U.S./Canada Pacific Hake (Whiting) 
Stock Assessment Review (STAR) panel in early February of 2004 and 
considered to be complete and suitable for use by the Council and its 
advisory bodies for ABC projections. However, the amount of whiting 
that the hydroacoustic survey was able to measure relative to the total 
whiting in the surveyed area (survey catchability coefficient or ``q'') 
was identified as a major source of uncertainty in the stock 
assessment.
    At the Council's March 2004 meeting, two sets of ABC/OY 
projections, with different assumptions about the survey catchability, 
were brought forward for decision making. This range of projections was 
intended to represent a plausible range of the stock's status. The more 
optimistic or less risk averse model run assumed that q equaled 0.6, 
while the less optimistic or more risk averse model run assumed that q 
equaled 1.0. A catchability coefficient of 1.0 is the value that had 
been used in the previous assessments.
    As a result of the new whiting stock assessment, the estimated 
abundance of whiting has increased substantially since the last 
assessment. The stock was estimated to be 47 percent of its unfished 
biomass in 2003 (2.7 million mt of age 3+ fish) when a survey 
catchability coefficient of 1.0 was applied and at 51 percent (4.2 
million mt of age 3+ fish) of its unfished biomass in 2003 when a 
survey catchability coefficient of 0.6 was applied. Under both 
scenarios, the whiting biomass in 2003 was estimated to be above the 
target rebuilding biomass. However, in the absence of a large year 
class after 1999, the stock is projected to decline. With the 
publication of the 2004 harvest specifications for whiting (April 30, 
2004; 69 FR 23667), NMFS announced that the whiting stock was estimated 
to above the target rebuilding biomass in 2003 and is no longer 
considered to be an overfished stock. Consequently, the adoption of a 
whiting rebuilding plan as an FMP amendment is no longer necessary.
    During 2003, while whiting was under NMFS's overfished designation, 
the Court entered an order in the case of Natural Resources Defense 
Council v. Evans, 290 F. Supp. 2d 1051, 1057 (N.D. Calif. 2003), 
requiring NMFS to approve or adopt a rebuilding plan for whiting by 
November 30, 2004 pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 1854(c) of the Magnuson-Stevens 
Act. After concluding that whiting was rebuilt, NMFS asked the Court to 
amend its order. The Court granted the request by lifting the 
requirement that NMFS prepare a rebuilding plan for whiting on June 30, 
2004.
    In November 2003, the U.S. and Canada signed an agreement regarding 
the conservation, research, and catch sharing of whiting. The whiting 
catch sharing arrangement that was agreed upon provides 73.88 percent 
of the total catch OY to the U.S. fisheries and 26.12 percent to the 
Canadian fisheries. At this time, both countries are taking steps to 
bring this agreement into force. Until the agreement is ratified and 
implementing legislation effective, the negotiators recommended that 
each country informally implement the agreed upon provisions.
    In anticipation of the ratification of the U.S.-Canada agreement 
and a new stock assessment, and given the small amount of whiting that 
is typically landed under trip limits prior to the April 1 start of the 
primary season, the Council is delaying adoption of a final ABC and OY 
until its March 2005 meeting. If the international agreement is 
ratified and implementing legislation is effective, ABC and OY values 
that are consistent with the agreement will be adopted. If the 
international agreement is not in force by March 2005, the Council will 
adopt final ABC and OY values for 2005 that are based on the new stock 
assessment and within the range that was considered in the EIS for the 
2005 and 2006 management measures. The final ABC and OY values for 2005 
and 2006 would be implemented through two final rules that are separate 
from the final rule for the rest of the groundfish specifications.
    The range of ABCs and OYs considered by the Council and analyzed in 
the EIS for both 2005 and 2006 included: a low ABC/OY of 181,287 mt, 
which represents 50 percent of the medium ABC/OY; a medium ABC/OY of 
362,573 mt, based on the results of the 2004 assessment with the OY 
being set equal to the ABC because the stock biomass is greater than 40 
percent of the unfished biomass; and a high OY of 725,146 mt, which is 
twice the amount of the medium ABC/OY. The availability of overfished 
species as incidental catch, particularly Pacific ocean perch (POP), 
canary, darkblotched, and widow rockfish, will likely constrain the 
whiting OY during 2005 and 2006. In recent years, the most constraining 
overfished species for the whiting fishery have been canary and widow 
rockfish. Under this proposed rule, the amount of canary rockfish that 
would be available to the whiting fishery was estimated to be 7.3 mt 
and the amount of widow rockfish was estimated to be 231.8 mt in 2005 
and 243.2 mt in 2006.
Canary Rockfish
    A coastwide canary rockfish stock assessment and rebuilding 
analysis were prepared in 2002. The ABC of 270 mt for 2005 and 279 mt 
for 2006 were forecast from the 2002 assessment with the application a 
F50% harvest rate proxy.
    On April 13, 2004, a canary rockfish rebuilding plan was adopted 
under Amendment 16-2 to the FMP (69 FR 19347). Regulations implementing 
this rebuilding plan established a target rebuilding year of 2074 with 
a harvest control rule of F=0.0220. There is a 60 percent probability 
that canary rockfish will rebuild to BMSY by 
TMAX. To allow the stock to rebuild, the OY must be set very 
low. Because canary rockfish are distributed coastwide and are 
incidentally caught with a wide variety of fishing gears, the low OYs 
will be constraining the groundfish fisheries for several years.
    The Council considered alternative OYs based on different 
arrangements for dividing catch between the commercial and recreational 
fisheries. How the catch is divided between the commercial and 
recreational sectors results in different OYs. This difference is 
because the recreational fisheries take smaller-sized canary rockfish 
than the commercial fisheries, resulting in a greater per ton impact on 
the canary stock over the rebuilding period. The alternative OYs are 
based on the newly adopted canary rockfish rebuilding plan and have the 
same rebuilding impacts on canary rockfish as anticipated by the plan. 
The catch sharing arrangements initially considered by the Council for 
2005 and 2006 included: a 50 percent recreational/50 percent commercial 
division that results in a 43 mt OY, and a 39 percent recreational/61 
percent commercial division that results in a 48 mt OY. At its June 
2004 meeting, the Council developed management measures that were 
expected to result in a 39 percent recreational/61 percent commercial 
division of the canary rockfish OY. The total catch of canary rockfish 
was then projected for the directed commercial and recreational 
groundfish fisheries under the new management measures. The amount 
estimated to be taken in non-groundfish and tribal fisheries, and the 
amount estimated to be taken during research activities that are 
scheduled to occur in 2005 and 2006 were also projected. When the total 
catch projections were summed for each year, they were less than the 48 
mt OY. The OYs for 2005 and 2006 were calculated using the projected 
catch estimates under the proposed management measures, the

[[Page 56557]]

resulting OYs were 46.8 mt for 2005 and 47.1 mt for 2006.
    A residual amount remained in each year and was divided, with 50 
percent going to the recreational fisheries and 50 percent going to the 
commercial fisheries. The 2005 residual amount of 2.5 mt will be held 
in reserve, with 1.25 mt being available as needed for the recreational 
and 1.25 mt being available as needed for the commercial fisheries. 
Similarly, the 2006 residual amount of 1.8 mt will be held in reserve, 
with 0.9 mt being available as needed for the recreational and 0.9 mt 
being available as needed for the commercial fisheries.
    For the recreational fishery, two regional harvest guidelines will 
be established for canary rockfish in both 2005 and 2006. These 
recreational harvest guidelines are needed to give the states more 
ability and direct responsibility for managing the recreational 
fisheries that occur off their coasts to prevent overfishing. For the 
area north of 42[deg] N. lat., the recreational harvest guideline will 
be 8.5 mt and for the area south of 42[deg] N. lat, the recreational 
harvest guideline will be 9.3 mt.
Pacific Cod, ``other flatfish'' and ``other fish''
    Of the 80 plus groundfish species managed under the groundfish FMP, 
ABC values have been established for only about 25 species. Many of the 
remaining species are managed within complexes and are not usually not 
listed by species on fish landing receipts. Information from fishery 
independent surveys is generally lacking for these stocks, because of 
their low abundance or because they are not vulnerable to survey 
sampling gear. Detailed biological information is generally lacking for 
these stocks (typically, the spawning biomass, level of recruitment, or 
the current fishing mortality rate are unknown and not routinely 
available), and ABC levels have typically been established on the basis 
of average historical landings.
    The ABC levels for Pacific cod, ``other flatfish'' and ``other 
fish'' have been based on historical landings. When determining 
numerical OYs for individual species and species groups for which the 
ABC is based on non-quantitative assessment, the Council may apply 
precautionary adjustments. Since 2000, the Council has adjusted the OYs 
for several unassessed stocks to 50 percent of the historical average 
catch levels. Although the ABCs for Pacific cod, ``other flatfish'' and 
``other fish'' have been based on historical landings, precautionary 
adjustments have not been used in the past to establish OYs.
    For 2005 and 2006, the Council considered alternative OYs for 
Pacific cod, ``other flatfish'' and ``other fish'' that were based on a 
50 percent precautionary adjustment. The range of OYs considered by the 
Council and analyzed in the EIS for Pacific cod in both 2005 and 2006 
included: a low OY of 1,600 mt, which represents the ABC with a 50 
percent precautionary adjustment and a high OY of 3,200 mt, in which 
the OY is set equal to the ABC. In most years since the mid-1990s, less 
than 500 mt of Pacific cod have been landed. Recent harvest levels for 
the Canadian fishery have been set as low as 240 mt to allow for the 
stock to rebuild and have been combined with closed areas during the 
spawning season. The Council considered recent harvest levels as well 
as harvest specifications established for what is believed to be the 
same Pacific cod stock in Canadian waters and recommended that an OY of 
1,600 mt be adopted for Pacific cod. An OY of 1,600 mt would be 
adequate to accommodate recent landings, while not being so high as to 
encourage targeting.
    The range of OYs considered by the Council and analyzed in the EIS 
for ``other fish'' in both 2005 and 2006 included: a low OY of 7,350 
mt, which represents the ABC with a 50 percent precautionary adjustment 
and a high OY of 14,700 mt, in which the OY is set equal to the ABC. 
The Council considered the recent landings, which ranged between 
approximately 2,500 mt in 1999 and 1,300 mt in 2002, prior to 
recommending that an OY of 7,350 mt be adopted for ``other fish''.
    ``Other flatfish'' is an aggregate species group of unassessed 
flatfish species that includes pacific sanddab, rex sole, curlfin sole, 
starry flounder, butter sole, rock sole, sand sole and flathead sole. 
Since implementation of the FMP in 1982, an ABC of 7,700 mt has been 
used. This is a landed catch value based on historical landings that 
are believed to have occurred during the 1970s. Landings of ``other 
flatfish'' species have varied considerably since 1981, with declines 
observed for most species. The reasons for the reductions are unknown, 
but could reflect lower abundance, a shift in the availability of the 
``other flatfish'' species, fishing fleet changes, reduced market 
demand or a combination of these factors.
    For 2005 and 2006, the Council considered total catch ABCs that 
were also based on historical landings. The total catch ABC is based on 
historical landed catch values but also incorporates estimated discard 
mortality for species in the complex. The range of ABCs and OYs 
considered by the Council and analyzed in the EIS for ``other 
flatfish'' in both 2005 and 2006 are: a low ABC/OY of 4,400 mt/2,200 
mt, in which the OY has a 50 percent precautionary adjustment; a mid-
range ABC of 6,781, based on the highest 1981-2003 landings of sanddabs 
and rex sole and on the 1994-1998 average landings for the remaining 
species in the group with an OY of 4,909 mt, which has a 25 percent 
precautionary adjustment for 0sanddabs and rex sole and a 50 percent 
precautionary adjustment to the remaining species; and a high ABC/OY of 
12,000 mt in which the OY is set equal to the ABC.
    The Council recommended adopting the mid-range ABC of 6,781 mt with 
the OY value of 4,909 mt. Landings of ``other flatfish'' between 1981 
and 2003 have ranged between 3,917 in 1982 to 1,600 in 2000 and 2003. 
Therefore the proposed OY is not expected to have a substantial impact 
on the fishery participants. With reduced opportunities in other 
fisheries, this more conservative OY is less likely to encourage new 
interest in targeting these species.
Black Rockfish
    In 2005 and 2006 state harvest guidelines will be specified for 
black rockfish. Because black rockfish is primarily taken in state 
waters, state specific harvest guidelines are expected to allow the 
states to better manage their respective recreational and commercial 
fisheries. For the area north of 46[deg]16' N. lat. (Washington/Oregon 
boarder), the OY is 540 mt. For the area south of 46[deg]16' N. lat 
(waters off Oregon and California) the OY is 753 mt. The black rockfish 
OY for the waters off Oregon and California is being subdivided with 
437 mt (58 percent) being applied to the waters off Oregon (between 
46[deg]16' N. lat and 42[deg] N. lat). and 316 mt (42 percent) being 
applied to the waters off California (south of 42[deg] N. lat.)
    For the waters off Oregon, 332 mt is estimated to be taken in the 
recreational fishery in 2005 and 290-360 mt in 2006, resulting in a 
commercial harvest guideline of 105 mt in 2005 and a range of 67-137 mt 
for 2006. The 2006 Oregon values are being presented as a range because 
the Oregon State rulemaking process did not coincide with the Council's 
2004 management measures development process. The Oregon Fish and 
Wildlife Commission will make recommendations on in-state allocation 
issues in December 2004. Therefore, the division of Oregon black 
rockfish harvest guideline between commercial and recreational 
fisheries is presented as a range at this time and the proposed rule 
comment period for this issue only

[[Page 56558]]

will be held until December 30, 2004. The Oregon Fish and Wildlife 
Commission will meet on December 10 at the Oregon Department of Fish 
and Wildlife (ODFW) office in Salem. The schedule of meetings, the 
process for providing written or oral testimony, as well as the agenda 
and meeting materials for the upcoming meeting, are available online at 
the following ODFW website address: Information on the Oregon 
recommendation can be obtained from the following web site in early 
December: www.dfw.state.or.us/Comm.schedule.htm.
    For the waters off California, the 316 mt harvest guideline of 
black rockfish will be divided with 190 mt (60 percent) being applied 
to the area north of 40[deg]10 min N. lat. and 126 mt (40 percent) 
being applied to the area south of 40[deg]10 min N. lat. For the area 
between 42[deg] N. lat. and 40[deg]10' N. lat., 74 mt is estimated to 
be taken in the recreational fishery, resulting in a commercial harvest 
guideline 116 mt. For the area south of 40[deg]10 min N. lat., 101 mt 
is estimated to be taken in the recreational fishery, resulting in a 
commercial harvest guideline of 25 mt. For the waters off Washington, 
30,000 lb (13.6 mt) is being set as a harvest guideline for the tribal 
fisheries.
Landed Catch OYs
    Landed catch values are not presented in this document. In the 
revised 2004 bycatch accounting model, target and overfished species 
estimates are based on landed catch amounts. Bycatch rates are no 
longer applied to the total catch OY to obtain the landed catch values. 
[Note: Discussion of the revised model can be found later in this 
document, the bycatch and discard accounting section.]

Overfished Species

    The status of the groundfish stocks are evaluated against the 
requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, NMFS's national standard 
guidelines, and the FMP. A species or stock is considered to be 
overfished if its current biomass is less than 25 percent of the 
unfished biomass. The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that a rebuilding 
plan be prepared within one year after the Council is notified by NMFS 
that a particular species is overfished.
    Eight Pacific coast groundfish stocks continue to be designated as 
``overfished'': POP, bocaccio, lingcod, canary rockfish, cowcod, 
darkblotched rockfish, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish. Pacific 
whiting is no longer designated as overfished.
    Amendment 16-1 to the FMP was prepared in part to respond to a 
Court order in Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. v. Evans (N.D. 
Cal. 2001). Amendment 16 1 established a process for and standards by 
which the Council will specify rebuilding plans for groundfish stocks 
that are declared overfished. Amendment 16-1 also amended the FMP to 
require that Pacific Coast groundfish overfished species rebuilding 
plans be added into the FMP via FMP amendment, and implemented through 
Federal regulations. Amendment 16 1 was intended to ensure that 
overfished species rebuilding plans meet the requirements of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act, in particular national standard 1 on overfishing 
and section 304(e), which addresses rebuilding of overfished fisheries. 
NMFS approved Amendment 16-1 on November 17, 2003.
    For each approved overfished species rebuilding plan, the following 
parameters will be specified in the FMP: estimates of unfished biomass 
(B0) and target biomass (BMSY), the year the 
stock would be rebuilt in the absence of fishing (TMIN), the 
year the stock would be rebuilt if the maximum time period permissible 
under the national standard guidelines were applied (TMAX) 
and the year in which the stock would be rebuilt under the adopted 
rebuilding plan (TTarget). These estimated rebuilding 
parameters serve as management benchmarks in the FMP and the FMP will 
not be amended if the values for these parameters change after new 
stock assessments are completed, as is likely to happen.
    NMFS approved Amendment 16-2 on January 30, 2004, and published a 
final rule for Amendment 16-2 on April 13, 2004 (69 FR 19347). 
Amendment 16-2 added the rebuilding parameters for lingcod, canary 
rockfish, darkblotched rockfish, and POP to section 4.5.4. of the FMP, 
along with other relevant information on each of these overfished 
stocks, such as stock distribution, fishery interaction, and rebuilding 
strategy.
    Amendment 16-1 specified two rebuilding parameters (of those that 
are listed above in the FMP) that are to be codified in Federal 
regulations for individual species rebuilding plans, the target year 
for rebuilding and the harvest control rule that is to be used during 
the rebuilding period. Amendment 16-2 added these rebuilding parameters 
to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 50 CFR 660.370. The target 
rebuilding year 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 to be 
used to establish the annual OYs. Conservation and management goals 
defined in the FMP require the Council and NMFS to manage to the 
appropriate harvest levels for a species or species groups, including 
those harvest levels established for rebuilding overfished species.
    The FMP provides that after a new stock assessment, the Council and 
NMFS may conclude that either or both of the parameters defined in 
regulation should be revised. Revisions will be implemented through the 
Federal rulemaking process, and the updated values codified in the 
Federal regulation. Generally, the target year should only be changed 
in unusual circumstances. Two such unusual circumstances include (1) 
if, it is determined, based on new information, that the existing 
target year is later that the maximum rebuilding time (TMAX), (2) or if 
the harvest control rule calculated from the new information is 
estimated to result in such a low OY as to cause substantial socio-
economic impacts. Any change to a harvest control rule must be fully 
supported by a corresponding analysis and updated through the Federal 
rulemaking process which would include opportunity for public notice 
and comment.
    An approved rebuilding plan will be implemented through setting OYs 
and establishing management measures necessary to maintain the fishing 
mortality within the OYs to achieve objectives related to rebuilding 
requirements.
    Amendment 16-2 has been followed by Amendment 16-3. At the 
Council's April 2004 meeting, rebuilding plans under Amendment 16-3 for 
bocaccio, cowcod, widow rockfish and yelloweye rockfish were adopted 
and include the parameters listed below.
    A notice of availability for the EIS for Amendment 16-3 was 
published on June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34116). A proposed rule to codify 
provisions of Amendment 16-3 was published in the Federal Register on 
July 7, 2004 (69 FR 40851), and will be followed by a final rule in 
autumn 2004.
2005-2006 Management of Overfished Species
    Rebuilding plans adopted under Amendments 16 2 and 16-3 are 
implemented through Federal regulations. The new stock assessments for 
lingcod (discussed above in the ``2005 and 2006 ABCs and OYs'' section) 
have resulted in revisions to some of the rebuilding parameters 
specified by Amendment 16 2.

[[Page 56559]]

    Preliminary rebuilding measures for the overfished species are 
summarized below. Management measures designed to rebuild overfished 
species, or to prevent species from becoming overfished, may restrict 
the harvest of relatively healthy stocks that are harvested with 
overfished species. As a result of the constraining management measures 
imposed to protect and rebuild overfished species, a number of the OYs 
may not be achieved in 2005 or 2006.
OY Management for Overfished Species
    Management measures adopted for 2005 and 2006 are expected to keep 
the incidental catch of overfished species within the adopted OYs. 
Managing a fishery inseason is dependent on the availability and 
accuracy of catch data. As new data become available and are used to 
track catch levels throughout the year, management strategies may need 
to be adjusted to keep the harvest of healthy stocks and the incidental 
catch of overfished species at or below their specified OYs.
    Managing the fishery to stay within the OYs of overfished species 
is difficult because the OYs of many overfished species are low. After 
reviewing the estimated mortality from all directed and incidental 
groundfish fisheries and research activities, the Council recommended 
adopting management measures that are predicted to result in total 
fishing mortality levels that are lower than the annual OYs for some 
overfished species. Designing management measures for certain 
overfished species that result in total mortality levels that are lower 
than that species' OY leaves a residual amount of fish from the OY. 
Leaving this residual amount at the beginning of the fishing year can 
reduce the risk that the fisheries will exceed the OY, particularly 
when there are difficulties in catch accounting or when new information 
becomes available that changes NMFS' understanding of total catch. The 
residual amounts below OYs for each overfished species are provided in 
the footnotes to Tables 1a and 2a.
    POP
    Date declared overfished: March 3, 1999
    Areas affected: Vancouver and Columbia
    Status of stock: Following the 2003 assessment, the stock was 
believed to be at 25 percent of unfished biomass level.
    B0: 37,230 units of spawning output
    BMSY: 14,892 units of spawning output
    TMIN: 2011
    TMAX: 2042
    PMAX: >70 percent
    TTARGET: 2027
    Harvest control rule: F=0.0257
    ABC: 966 mt in 2005, 934 mt in 2006
    OY: 447 mt in 2005, 447 mt in 2006
    Management measures for 2005 and 2006: POP is a slope species that 
occurs in similar depths as darkblotched rockfish, although POP has a 
more northern geographic distribution than darkblotched rockfish. The 
2005 and 2006 management measures that are intended to limit the 
bycatch of POP include the continued use of RCAs, cumulative trip 
limits, and routine management authority to close the primary whiting 
fisheries if there are overfished species bycatch concerns.
    POP are primarily taken with trawl gear north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. 
The seaward boundary of the trawl RCA was set at a depth that was 
likely to keep fishing effort in deeper waters and away from areas 
where the bycatch of POP was historically highest. However, the 
boundaries of the RCAs vary by season and fishing sector and may be 
modified in response to new information about geographical and seasonal 
distribution of bycatch.
    Minor slope rockfish and POP limits are set at levels that are 
expected to allow vessels targeting DTS species (Dover sole, 
thornyheads, sablefish) to retain their incidentally caught slope 
rockfish while being low enough to discourage targeting. Measures that 
constrain the DTS trawl fishery to stay within the shortspine 
thornyhead OY are also expected to keep the catch of POP in both 2005 
and 2006 well below its OYs. As needed, trip limits for co-occurring 
species may be adjusted to reduce POP rockfish bycatch.
    With this action, NMFS is establishing routine management measure 
authority to close a whiting primary season fishery, before the 
sector's whiting allocation is reached, to address concerns about the 
impacts on overfished species, including POP.
    POP are not an important component of the tribal or recreational 
fisheries.
Darkblotched Rockfish
    Date declared overfished: January 11, 2001 (66 FR 2338)
    Areas affected: Coastwide
    Status of the stock: Following a 2003 stock assessment, the 
coastwide stock was believed to be at 11 percent of its unfished 
biomass level.
    B0: 30,775 mt
    BMSY: 12,310 mt
    TMIN: 2011
    TMAX: 2047
    PMAX: >80 percent
    TTARGET: 2030
    Harvest control rule: F=0.032
    ABC: 269 mt in 2005, 294 mt in 2006
    OY: 269 mt in 2005, 294 mt in 2006
    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: Darkblotched rockfish occur 
on the outer continental shelf (shelf) and continental slope (slope), 
mainly north of Point Reyes, CA (38[deg] N. lat). Because of their 
deeper distribution, they are caught exclusively by commercial vessels. 
Most landings have been made by bottom trawl vessels targeting flatfish 
on the shelf and minor rockfish and DTS species on the continental 
slope. Management measures intended to limit bycatch of darkblotched 
rockfish and keep fishing mortality within the OYs specified for 2005 
and 2006 include the continued use of RCAs, cumulative trip limits, and 
routine management authority to close the primary whiting fisheries 
when there are overfished species bycatch concerns.
    The seaward boundary of the trawl RCA was set at a depth that was 
likely to keep fishing effort in deeper waters and away from areas 
where the bycatch of darkblotched rockfish was highest. The boundaries 
of the RCAs vary by season and fishing sector and may be modified in 
response to new information about geographical and seasonal 
distribution of bycatch.
    Minor slope rockfish cumulative trip limits are set at levels that 
are expected to allow vessels targeting DTS species to retain their 
incidentally caught slope rockfish while being low enough to discourage 
targeting. Measures that constrain the DTS trawl fishery to stay within 
the shortspine thornyhead OY are also expected to keep the catch of 
darkblotched rockfish in both 2005 and 2006 well below its OYs. As 
needed, trip limits for co-occurring species may be adjusted to reduce 
the catch of darkblotched rockfish.
    With this action, NMFS is establishing routine management measure 
authority to close a whiting primary season fishery, before the 
sector's whiting allocation is reached, to address concerns about the 
impacts on overfished species, including darkblotched rockfish.
Canary Rockfish
    Date declared overfished: January 4, 2000 (65 FR 221)
    Affected area: Coastwide
    Status of the stock: 8 percent of its unfished biomass level in 
2002.
    B0: 31,550 mt
    BMSY: 12,620 mt
    TMIN: 2057
    TMAX: 2076
    PMAX: 60 percent
    TTARGET: 2074
    Harvest control rule: F=0.0220
    ABC: 270 mt in 2005, 279 mt in 2006
    OY: 46.8 mt in 2005, 47.1 mt in 2006

[[Page 56560]]

    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: Canary rockfish prefer rocky 
areas on the shelf and are encountered in a wide variety of commercial 
and recreational fisheries. Management measures intended to limit 
bycatch of canary rockfish include the use of RCAs, cumulative trip 
limits, gear restrictions, reduced seasons, and routine management 
authority to close the primary whiting fisheries when there are 
overfished species bycatch concerns.
    Bottom trawling is prohibited in the trawl RCA, which covers much 
of the shelf and depths where canary rockfish have been most frequently 
caught. The nontrawl RCA boundaries are intended to move the nontrawl 
fleets off of the continental shelf, where overfished species 
susceptible to nontrawl gear are found.
    Cumulative limits are structured to discourage targeting while 
allowing very low levels of incidental take to be landed. For the area 
south of 40[deg]10' N. lat., limited entry fixed gear trip limits are 
set so that they draw vessels away from continental shelf species, 
placing emphasis on available slope species. The limited entry fixed 
gear fleet north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. will be prohibited from 
retaining canary rockfish. Differential trip limits have been used for 
large and small footrope trawl gear throughout the year. Trawl flatfish 
trip limits are lower inshore of the trawl RCA, where canary rockfish 
are most commonly distributed, than offshore of the RCA. By allowing 
greater limits for large footrope gear and prohibiting its use in 
nearshore areas, there is an incentive for vessels to fish in deeper 
waters, beyond the range of canary rockfish. To reduce incidental take 
of canary rockfish inshore of the RCA, flatfish vessels operating in 
that area are required to use selective flatfish trawl gear and are 
allowed to access lower trip limits than those fishing offshore of the 
RCA. Because NMFS is proposing to require trawlers to use selective 
flatfish trawl gear in the nearshore areas, flatfish trawl trip limits 
for vessels using small footrope trawl gear north of 40[deg]10' N. lat 
are higher than in recent years. This new trawl net design, which was 
tested in 2003 through an exempted fishing permit, features a headrope 
set back from a flattened net body to capture low-swimming flatfish 
while allowing rockfish, including canary rockfish, to escape over the 
upper edge of the trawl net.
    Trawling with open access non-groundfish gear for pink shrimp will 
be allowed within the RCA because they use state required finfish 
excluder devices to reduce their groundfish bycatch, particularly 
bycatch of canary and other rockfishes. Off California, trawling for 
California halibut, and sea cucumber will be prohibited within the 
trawl RCA. Ridgeback prawn trawling will south of 34[deg]27' N. lat. 
will be constrained by an RCA between boundary lines approximating the 
100 fm (183 m) and 150 fm (274 m) depth contours throughout the year.
    Recreational fisheries are managed through bag limits, size limits 
and seasons. As necessary, seasons can be shortened and bag limits 
reduced to stay within the OYs. The retention of canary rockfish, in 
Washington waters, will be prohibited. Off Oregon, recreational fishing 
for groundfish will be depth-restricted June through September, when 
the fishery will be closed offshore of a boundary line approximating 
the 40 fm (73 m) depth contour. Recreational fisheries participation is 
heaviest during these months and this closure is intended to move the 
groundfish fisheries inshore to protect canary rockfish. The California 
Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) proposed for 2005 and 2006 a package 
of management measures to strongly constrain their recreational 
fisheries (see recreational section below). Season and area closures 
differ between California regions to better protect overfished species 
according to where those species occur and where fishing effort is 
strongest. Retention of canary rockfish in the California and Oregon 
recreational fisheries will not be permitted.
    With this action, NMFS is establishing routine management measure 
authority to close a whiting primary season fishery, before the 
sector's whiting allocation is reached, to address concerns about the 
impacts on overfished species.
Lingcod
    Date declared overfished: March 3, 1999.
    Areas affected: Coastwide
    Status of the stock: A coastwide assessment was conducted in 2003 
and estimated that the stock was at 25 percent of its unfished biomass 
coastwide in 2002, 31 percent in the north and 19 percent in the south.
    B0: 41,071 mt coastwide, 20,801 mt north and 20,270 mt 
south
    BMSY: 16,428 mt coastwide, 8,321 mt north and 8,108 mt 
south
    TMIN: 2004 north and 2006 south
    TMAX: 2009
    PMAX: 70 percent
    TTARGET: 2009
    Harvest control rule: F=0.17 north and F=0.15 south
    ABC: 2,922 mt in 2005, 2,716 mt in 2006
    OY: 2,414 mt in 2005 and in 2006
    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: Lingcod are irregularly 
distributed coastwide in hard bottom areas and around rocky reefs and 
are encountered in a variety of commercial and recreational fisheries. 
While lingcod is not yet rebuilt, it is abundant enough that it does 
not seriously constrains fisheries for co-occurring species.
    Management measures intended to limit bycatch of lingcod for 2005 
and 2006 include the continued use of RCAs, cumulative trip limits, 
reduced seasons, and gear restrictions. Measures to reduce the catch of 
canary rockfish are also expected to provide protection to co-occurring 
overfished species such as lingcod. Similarly, the trip limit 
structures intended to constrain the incidental catch of canary 
rockfish is expected to benefit lingcod.
    Trawl limits for lingcod are still at incidental take levels to 
discourage vessels from targeting lingcod while accommodating true 
incidental catch. As in past years, in the northern area limited entry 
fixed gear and open access fisheries will be prohibited from landing 
lingcod in January-April and in November-December to protect lingcod 
during their spawning and nest-guarding season. Similar to the northern 
area, lingcod retention is only permitted during May-October in the 
south. Lingcod are vulnerable to these gears during the winter nesting 
period, but have a high rate of survival when released alive. RCA 
restrictions described above for canary rockfish also protect lingcod.
    Lingcod is also an important recreational species coastwide. 
Recreational bag limits, size limits and season restrictions will 
continue to be used. Regional management of the California recreational 
fisheries is expected to better protect overfished species by allowing 
the most restrictive management actions to be taken in the areas where 
typical fishing effort and overfished species impacts are strongest. 
Recreational fishing for lingcod will be closed in the winter months 
throughout to protect lingcod during its spawning and nesting season.
Bocaccio
    Date declared overfished: March 3, 1999
    Areas affected: Monterey and Conception
    Status of stock: 7.4 percent of its unfished biomass in 2003
    BMY: 13,387 Billion eggs in 2003
    BMSY: 5,355 Billion eggs in 2003
    TMIN: 2018
    TMAX: 2032
    PMAX: 70 percent

[[Page 56561]]

    TTARGET: 2023
    Harvest control rule: 0.0498
    ABC: 566 mt in 2005, 549 mt in 2006
    OY: 307 mt in 2005, 309 mt in 2005
    Management measures for 2005 and 2006: Bocaccio is a shelf species 
that is most commonly found from 54 fm (99 m) to 82 fm (150 m) of water 
over the shelf. Bocaccio have historically been taken in the commercial 
trawl and fixed gear and recreational fisheries. To reduce bocaccio 
bycatch, fishing opportunities in the depths where bocaccio are most 
commonly encountered have been reduced though the use of RCAs, 
cumulative trip limits, and gear restrictions.
    RCAs will continue to be used in 2005 and 2006 to restrict fishing 
on the shelf. Because bocaccio are more frequently caught by fixed 
gears in waters off the central California coast, proposed closures for 
the non-trawl fleet are more broad in this area. Off California, 
trawling for California halibut, and sea cucumber is prohibited within 
the trawl RCA. Pink shrimp trawling will be allowed within the RCA 
providing the vessels use state required finfish excluder devices. 
Ridgeback prawn trawling will south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. will be 
constrained by an RCA between boundary lines approximating the 100 fm 
(183 m) and 150 fm (274 m) depth contours throughout the year.
    NMFS expects that management measures to protect canary rockfish 
will restrict the incidental catch of bocaccio and keep it well below 
the OY. Because of this, the Council is allowing some targeting of the 
co-occurring chilipepper rockfish stock. Vessels that target 
chilipepper with large footrope gear offshore of the RCA or with 
midwater trawl gear will be allowed higher chilipepper landings limits 
in May-August. Only minimal levels of bocaccio retention, to 
accommodate incidental catch, will be permitted.
    For the recreational fisheries, CDFG proposes to strongly constrain 
their recreational fisheries through the use of season and area 
closures that differ between California regions. Regional management of 
the California recreational fisheries is expected to better protect 
overfished species by allowing restrictive management actions to be 
taken in the areas where fishing effort and overfished species impacts 
are greatest.
Cowcod
    Date declared overfished: January 4, 2000
    Areas affected: Point Conception to the U.S.-Mexico boundary.
    Status of stock: 4-11 percent of unfished biomass in 1999
    B0: 3.367 mt
    BMSY: 1,350 mt
    TMIN: 2062
    TMAX: 2099
    PMAX: 60 percent
    TTARGET: 2090
    Harvest control rule: F=0.009
    ABC: 24 mt in 2005 and 2006
    OY: 4.2 mt in 2005 and 2006
    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: All directed cowcod fishing 
opportunities have been eliminated since 2001. Retention of cowcod is 
prohibited for all commercial and recreational fisheries. In addition, 
management measures to reduce canary and bocaccio rockfish catch are 
also expected to benefit cowcod.
    To protect cowcod from incidental harvest, two Cowcod Conservation 
Areas (CCAs) (the Eastern CCA and the Western CCA) in the Southern 
California Bight have been delineated to encompass key cowcod habitat 
areas and known areas of high catches. Fishing for groundfish is 
prohibited within the CCAs, except that minor nearshore rockfish, 
cabezon, and greenling may be taken from waters where the bottom depth 
is less than 20 fathoms (36.9 m).
    In 2003, a rebuilding review was conducted for cowcod. This was a 
thorough examination of the recreational and commercial fishery related 
removals in relation to the ABC and OY levels that were established for 
rebuilding. The review concluded that the total removals of cowcod have 
declined in accordance with the rebuilding based harvest 
specifications.
Widow Rockfish
    Date declared overfished: January 11, 2001
    Areas affected: Coastwide
    Status of stock: 22.4 percent of the unfished biomass in 2002
    B0: 43,530 million eggs
    BMSY: 17,432 million eggs
    TMIN: 2026
    TMAX: 2042
    PMAX: 60 percent
    TTARGET: 2038
    Harvest control rule: F=0.0093
    ABC: 3,218 mt in 2005, 3,059 mt in 2006
    OY: 285 mt in 2005, 289 mt in 2006
    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: Management measures intended 
to limit bycatch of widow rockfish and keep fishing mortality within 
the OYs specified for 2005 and 2006 included the continued use of RCAs, 
cumulative trip limits, and routine management authority to close the 
primary whiting fisheries when there are bycatch concerns.
    Because bottom trawl opportunities for shelf rockfish continue to 
be extremely limited outside the RCAs, the use of RCAs are expected to 
be beneficial to the recovery of widow rockfish. Cumulative trip limits 
for commercial limits for widow rockfish are intended to accommodate 
incidental catch and do not provide an incentive for directed fishing. 
Similarly, cumulative limits for yellowtail rockfish, a species that 
co-occurs with widow rockfish, have been severely constrained.
    An incidental catch allowance of widow rockfish will continue to be 
provided for the primary whiting season. Final whiting ABCs and OYs are 
expected to be adopted at the Council's March 2005 and 2006 meetings. 
NMFS anticipates setting the 2005 and 2006 Pacific whiting OYs so that 
they are constrained by the amount of widow rockfish available for 
incidental retention, as the agency did in 2004 (April 30, 2004, 69 FR 
23667).
    With this action, NMFS is establishing routine management measure 
authority to close a whiting primary season fishery, before the 
sector's whiting allocation is reached, to address concerns about the 
impacts on overfished species.
Yelloweye Rockfish
    Date declared overfished: January 11, 2002
    Areas affected: Coastwide
    Status of stock: 24.1 percent of its unfished biomass in 2002
    B0: 3,875 mt
    BMSY: 1,550 mt
    TMIN: 2027
    TMAX: 2071
    PMAX: 80 percent
    TTARGET: 2058
    Harvest control rule: F=0.0153
    ABC: 54 mt in 2005, 55 mt in 2006
    OY: 26 mt in 2005, 27 mt in 2006
    Management measures in 2005 and 2006: Yelloweye rockfish are more 
available to the fixed gears and recreational fisheries than to the 
trawl fishery. Management measures intended to limit bycatch of 
yelloweye rockfish and to keep fishing mortality within the OY 
specified for 2005 and 2006 include the continued use of RCAs and 
cumulative trip limits in the commercial fisheries and bag limits in 
the recreational fisheries.
    The retention of yelloweye rockfish in the commercial nontrawl 
fisheries will continue to be prohibited throughout the year. In 
addition, sublimits for yelloweye rockfish will be applied to the minor 
nearshore shelf rockfish trip limit for the limited entry trawl 
fisheries to discourage any interest in targeting yelloweye rockfish.
    The yelloweye rockfish conservation area (YRCA) will continue to be 
used for

[[Page 56562]]

2004 in waters off the coast of Washington. Off Washington, 
recreational fishing for groundfish and halibut will continue to be 
prohibited inside the YRCA, a C-shaped closed area off the northern 
Washington coast. Off Oregon, recreational fishing for groundfish will 
be depth-restricted June through September, when the fishery will be 
closed offshore of a boundary line approximating the 40 fm (73 m) depth 
contour. Recreational fisheries participation is heaviest during these 
months and this closure is intended to move the groundfish fisheries 
inshore to protect canary and yelloweye rockfish. Regional management 
of the California recreational fisheries is expected to better protect 
overfished species by allowing the restrictive management actions to be 
taken in the areas where fishing effort and overfished species impacts 
are greatest. Retention of yelloweye rockfish in the California and 
Oregon recreational fisheries will not be permitted.

Overfishing

    None of the 2005-2006 ABCs are set higher than FMSY or its proxy, 
none of the OYs are set higher than the corresponding ABCs, and the 
management measures in this proposed rule are designed to keep harvest 
levels within specified OYs. Overfishing is difficult to detect 
inseason for many groundfish, particularly for minor rockfish species, 
because most species are not individually identified on landing. 
Species compositions, based on proportions encountered in samples of 
landings and extrapolated observer data, are applied during the year. 
However, final results are not available until after the end of the 
year. Thus, this proposed rule discusses overfishing that occurred in 
2003, not 2004. If overfishing occurred on any groundfish species in 
2004, it will be listed in NMFS's annual report to Congress on the 
status of U.S. Fisheries.
    During the 2003 fishing season, overfishing occurred on lingcod and 
black rockfish. There are no formal allocations for lingcod between the 
commercial and recreational fisheries; however the 2003 total catch OY 
of 651 mt for lingcod was separated into: 355 mt expected catch for the 
recreational fisheries, 3 mt for the amount estimated to be taken in 
research, 4.3 mt for the amount estimated to be taken in commercial 
non-groundfish fisheries, 5.2 mt expected catch in the tribal 
fisheries, resulting in a 284 mt non-tribal commercial OY. Catch of 
lingcod in 2003 research fisheries is estimated to have been 4.5 mt. 
Non-tribal and tribal commercial catch for 2003 is estimated to have 
been 165.7 mt, which is well beneath the combined 289.2 mt expected for 
those fisheries. Recreational lingcod landings for 2003 are estimated 
to have been 1,012 mt, exceeding the expected recreational fisheries 
take by 657 mt. With this large overharvest in the recreational 
fisheries, total lingcod landings are estimated to have been 1,182.2 
mt, exceeding the 841 mt coastwide lingcod ABC by 341.2 mt. Under the 
FMP, ABCs are set at FMSY and the lingcod ABC is set with an FMSY proxy 
of F45%. Fishing at a level that exceeds the MSY harvest rate is 
considered overfishing under the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
    Because the black rockfish stock is above the FMP's precautionary 
level indicator of B40[percnt], the black 
rockfish OY is set equal to its ABC. In 2003, the black rockfish 
coastwide ABC/OY was 1,115 mt. The available 2003 black rockfish 
harvest was not as tightly delineated as the 2003 lingcod harvest. Of 
the 1,115 mt available coastwide, 615 mt was estimated to be available 
from the Vancouver and Columbia management areas (north of 43[deg] N. 
lat.) and 500 mt from the Eureka area (40[deg] 10'--43[deg] N. lat.) 
Black rockfish is a northern stock occurring primarily north of 40[deg] 
10' N. lat. The 2003 non-tribal and tribal commercial fisheries took 
174.4 mt of black rockfish, 128.9 mt of which was landed in the Eureka 
area. Data for the recreational fisheries are separated by state, 
rather than by fishery management area. The 2003 recreational fisheries 
took 516 mt off Oregon and Washington (waters north of 42[deg] N. lat.) 
and 497 mt off California. Cumulatively, the fisheries landed 1,187.4 
mt of black rockfish in 2003, exceeding that species' ABC by 72.4 mt.
    For both the lingcod and black rockfish ABCs, the California 
recreational fisheries had the greatest effect in exceeding those ABCs. 
The 2003 California recreational fisheries landed 840 mt of the 1,012 
mt of coastwide lingcod landings. Of the 1,016 mt of black rockfish 
available to the recreational fisheries coastwide, the California 
recreational fisheries took 497 mt.
    Before finalizing the 2004 fishery specifications and management 
measures, NMFS reviewed preliminary data on the 2003 fisheries. The 
2003 landings data available at that time, February 2004, were not 
considered complete for either the recreational or commercial 
fisheries. There was enough information on the California recreational 
fisheries, however, to give NMFS concern that those fisheries could 
again overharvest lingcod, black rockfish, and perhaps other species in 
2004. NMFS discussed the California recreational fisheries data with 
CDFG in February 2004, and implemented restrictive lingcod management 
measures for those fisheries with its 2004 specifications and 
management measures final rule (69 FR 11064, March 9, 2004.) Effective 
April 1, 2004, NMFS and California reduced the lingcod bag limit off 
California from two fish to one fish and increased the size limit from 
24 inches (61.4 cm) to 30 inches (76.8 cm).
    Both the Council and the California Fish and Game Commission 
(Commission) discussed the need to further restrict California's 
recreational fisheries to protect lingcod, black rockfish, and other 
nearshore rockfish species at their meetings in March and April 2004. 
CDFG conveyed the Commission's recommendations to the Council at the 
Council's April meeting. The Council concurred with the Commission that 
both state and Federal regulations for California's recreational 
fishery needed to be more constraining to prevent overharvest of these 
species and other overfished stocks. Based on the Council's 
recommendations, NMFS made a series of bag limit reductions, area 
closures and season closures that were effective May 1, 2004, and which 
are detailed in two NMFS inseason action documents that were published 
on April 29, 2004 (69 FR 23440) and May 5, 2004 (69 FR 25013). The 
revised 2004 California recreational fisheries management measures 
provided the basis for the more restrictive and area-specific 
management measures proposed for 2005-2006 California fisheries. NMFS, 
the Council, and CDFG will monitor 2004 recreational fisheries data as 
they become available to assess whether 2005-2006 recreational 
fisheries management measures are sufficiently constraining to prevent 
the California fishery from excessive harvests in those years. In both 
2005 and 2006, the commercial and recreational fisheries have been 
constrained to protect canary rockfish. NMFS and the Council expect 
that canary rockfish protections will constrain lingcod harvest. In 
both 2005 and 2006, a residual amount of lingcod remains in the lingcod 
OY beyond those amounts expected to be taken in commercial, 
recreational, tribal and scientific fishing. In 2005, that residual 
amount is 1,504.5 mt and in 2006, it is 1,528.3 mt. These residual 
amounts of available lingcod harvest may provide a buffer against 
overharvest in the California recreational fisheries.

Bycatch and Discard Management

    The Magnuson-Stevens Act defines bycatch as ``fish which are 
harvested in

[[Page 56563]]

a fishery, which are not sold or kept for personal use, and include 
economic discards and regulatory discards.'' By contrast, Pacific Coast 
groundfish fishery management and many other fishery management regimes 
commonly use the term bycatch to describe non-targeted species that are 
caught in common with (co-occur with) target species, some of which are 
landed and sold or otherwise used and some of which are discarded. The 
term ``discard'' is used to describe those fish harvested that are 
neither landed nor used.
    NMFS's bycatch reduction program for West Coast groundfish is 
primarily intended to address the two major Magnuson-Stevens Act goals 
on bycatch:
    (1) ``Conservation and management measures shall, to the extent 
practicable, (A) minimize bycatch and (B) to the extent bycatch cannot 
be avoided, minimize the mortality of such bycatch'' (Sec.  301(a)(9)).
    (2) [FMP's shall] ``establish a standardized reporting methodology 
to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery, and 
include conservation and management measures that, to the extent 
practicable and in the following priority (A) minimize bycatch; and (B) 
minimize the mortality of bycatch which cannot be avoided'' (Sec.  
303(a)(11)).
    NMFS uses a three-part strategy to meet these Magnuson-Stevens Act 
mandates: (1) gather data through a standardized reporting methodology 
on the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery; (2) assess 
this data through bycatch models to estimate when, where, and with 
which gear types bycatch of varying species occurs; and (3) implement 
management measures through Federal fisheries regulations that minimize 
bycatch and bycatch mortality to the extent practicable, and that keep 
the total mortality of groundfish within the OYs of the various 
groundfish species and species groups. This section of the preamble to 
this proposed rule describes recent NMFS activities in each of the 
three parts of this strategy.
Gathering Bycatch and Discard Data
    NMFS uses the West Coast groundfish observer program (WCGOP,) 
established in August 2001 and required in the FMP in Section 6.5.1.2, 
as its primary standardized reporting methodology for bycatch in the 
groundfish fisheries. The WCGOP focuses on vessels participating in the 
shore-delivery cumulative limit fisheries for non-whiting groundfish. 
Although WCGOP deploys observers on vessels of all major gear types, 
the program initially focused on observing trawl vessel fishing 
activity. Over 90 percent of commercial West Coast groundfish landings, 
by weight, are taken by the limited entry trawl fleet. As WCGOP has 
developed, it has expanded into more observations in the limited entry 
nontrawl fleet. About 75 percent of WCGOP's observer hours tend to be 
spent on trawl vessels, with the remaining 25 percent primarily focused 
on limited entry longline and pot vessels. Through 2003, NMFS's 
observer coverage of the limited entry fixed gear fleet focused on 
vessels participating in the primary sablefish fishery. Participants in 
this fishery landed approximately 44 percent of the commercial 
groundfish taken by vessels other than groundfish trawlers in 2003. In 
2004 and beyond, the agency will be adding observer coverage to the 
remainder of limited entry fixed gear fishing strategies and to the 
open access directed groundfish fisheries. These two sectors, the open 
access directed fishery and the limited entry fishery outside of the 
primary sablefish season, have similar fishing strategies. WCGOP is 
experimenting with ways to deploy observers on the small (<18 ft length 
overall) boats of the open access groundfish fisheries. More 
information on WCGOP is available online at: www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/research/divisions/fram/Observer/.
    Vessels participating in the at-sea whiting fisheries (catcher-
processors and motherships) have been voluntarily carrying observers 
since 1991. NMFS made observer coverage mandatory for at-sea processors 
on July 7, 2004 (69 FR 31751, June 27, 2004). For the shore-based 
whiting fisheries, NMFS experimented in 2004 with electronic monitoring 
in combination with dockside monitors. The Council will make its final 
recommendation on a full retention and monitoring program for the 
shore-based whiting fisheries at its October 31-November 5, 2004, 
meeting in Portland, OR. (A draft Environmental Assessment for this 
program is available online at: ww.nwr.noaa.gov/1sustfsh/groundfish/gfNEPA.htm). NMFS expects to implement regulations for this program in 
time for the 2005 whiting season. The WCGOP and the whiting observer 
programs, in combination with state fish ticket and logbook programs 
and fisheries-independent data, are used to support groundfish bycatch 
assessment models. Together, these programs comprise the first part of 
NMFS' bycatch management strategy, gathering scientific data on bycatch 
in the groundfish fisheries. In addition to these Federal programs, the 
Council relies on state recreational fisheries sampling programs, which 
use a combination of at-sea and at-dock samplers to gather catch and 
discard data on the recreational fisheries. These state-run programs 
are described in the DEIS for this action.
Modeling Bycatch and Discard Data
    The second part of NMFS's bycatch management strategy is to use 
data on bycatch and discard in models intended to estimate the amount 
and type of bycatch occurring in the groundfish fisheries. NMFS first 
introduced a groundfish fisheries total catch assessment model (known 
as ``the bycatch model'') in late 2001 for the 2002 fishing season. 
NMFS has annually described the development and evolution of this model 
in its proposed rules to implement fishery specifications and 
management measures. [See 67 FR 1555, January 11, 2002, 68 FR 936, 
January 7, 2003, and 69 FR 1380, January 8, 2004 for historical 
information on the bycatch model.] As the WCGOP has evolved, so has the 
bycatch model. During its first year, the bycatch model focused on 
overfished species taken incidentally in the trawl fisheries, and was 
populated with data from observation experiments from the mid-1990s and 
prior years. By January 2003, NMFS had analyzed data from the first 
year of the WCGOP and the bycatch models for fishing years 2003 and 
2004 were updated with WCGOP-generated data. Prior to 2004, the bycatch 
model had focused on co-occurrence ratios for overfished species taken 
in target species fisheries without also looking at potential discard 
of target species. For the 2004 fishing year, NMFS expanded the bycatch 
model to set discard rates for target species by depth. Like initial 
WCGOP efforts, the models for the 2002-2003 fishing years also focused 
on the trawl fisheries. For 2005-2006, NMFS has again updated the trawl 
bycatch model with trawl fisheries data from WCGOP. NMFS has also 
revised the new fixed gear bycatch model, initially used in 2004, for 
the 2005-2006 fisheries that analyzes observer data from the limited 
entry fixed gear fisheries.
    Data in the trawl bycatch model comes from WCGOP and state fish 
ticket and logbook programs. The trawl bycatch model for the 2005-2006 
fishing years includes updated data from these sources, with data from 
more recent years weighted more heavily in the model. In addition to 
updating the data supporting the model, NMFS made three minor revisions 
to the model's methods used to calculate and apply bycatch ratios.

[[Page 56564]]

    NMFS's first revision to the trawl model was to calculate bycatch 
ratios with reference to the total catch of target species, rather than 
with reference to the landed catch of target species. This refinement 
has been made possible by observer data, which has given the agency 
better estimates of total catch. This revision does not change the 
amounts by which the ratios indicate managers should deduct discards 
from total catch. However, because the ratios are applied to the larger 
target (as opposed to landed) catch amounts of target species, there 
will not be a straightforward comparison between bycatch ratios for the 
fisheries in 2005 and beyond with those for 2004 and prior.
    NMFS's second revision is based on improved data on overfished 
species distribution. For fisheries in 2005 and beyond, bycatch rates 
for the northern and southern areas will be divided at 40[deg] 10' N. 
lat. for all species except darkblotched rockfish. Northern and 
southern area bycatch rates for darkblotched rockfish, a slope species, 
will be divided at 38[deg] N. lat. for depths greater than 150 fm (274 
m), where darkblotched commonly occurs. Bycatch rates for trawlers 
operating north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. have also been adjusted to 
account for new 2005-2006 gear requirements for vessels operating in 
the northern area and shoreward of the trawl RCA. Vessels operating in 
this northern area will be required to use ``selective flatfish trawl 
gear,'' which the ODFW developed in cooperative experiments with the 
fishing industry.
    NMFS's third revision is to reinstate seasonal distributions of 
bycatch rates. When NMFS had relied on pre-WCGOP observer data to 
populate its bycatch model, that data had been abundant enough to 
seasonally stratify co-occurrence ratios for overfished species taken 
in target species' fisheries. The model for the 2004 fishing year 
eliminated observer data from programs other than WCGOP in order to use 
the most recent data on the fishery. Because there was not enough WCGOP 
data for that model to show seasonal trends in co-occurrence ratios, 
the model was initially applied to the fisheries in 2004 without 
seasonal stratification of those ratios. Now that NMFS has sufficient 
WCGOP data to detect seasonal trends in co-occurrence ratios, the model 
revised inseason for 2004 fisheries and used to develop 2005-2006 
management measures allows NMFS to reintroduce seasonally-stratified 
management. By seasonally-stratifying fishing effort, NMFS is better 
able to develop landings limits for target species that emphasize 
fishing in times and areas where those species may be taken with lower 
bycatch of overfished species.
    NMFS expects to continue to review and evaluate its trawl bycatch 
model, and to update that model with new WCGOP data. For 2004 and 
beyond, NMFS also developed an independent bycatch model for the 
limited entry, primary fixed gear sablefish fishery. The trawl bycatch 
model is based in part on the two-month cumulative limit period 
structure of the trawl fishery. For these two-month periods, the 
Council and NMFS set landings limits for a range of species with the 
expectation that not all trawl participants will attain the limits for 
all species during each period. Conversely, the limited entry primary 
sablefish season is a 7-month cumulative limit period with limits set 
for one species. Few participants in this fishery fail to attain their 
tier limits within the 7 month season. Additionally, most participants 
are able to take their tier limits within several weeks' time, which 
allows each participant to choose when during the season he or she will 
directly target sablefish. The trawl bycatch model is essentially a 
model of the expected behavior of fishery participants how much of each 
species will be retained or discarded given varying cumulative limits 
for target species. The limited entry fixed gear primary sablefish 
season has a structure that allows different and more flexible behavior 
than the trawl cumulative limit fishery. As a result, NMFS needed to 
modify its approach to bycatch modeling to better reflect fishermen's 
behavior in the primary sablefish fishery.
    NMFS faced several challenges in developing a bycatch model for the 
primary sablefish fishery. Unlike the trawl cumulative limit periods, 
the 7 month season is a new development. Prior to 2001, this fishery 
was an open competition derby of 5-10 days in duration. In 2001, NMFS 
approved Amendment 14 to the FMP, which allowed vessels with limited 
entry permits and sablefish endorsements to participate in a lengthened 
season during which they would have ample opportunity to take their 
tier limits. The 2001 season was 2.5 months long, but the seasons in 
2002 and 2003 were 7 months long. The flexibility of these longer 
seasons, coupled with the relative lack of historical data on how 
vessels might behave during the longer season has made modeling vessel 
behavior more challenging than for the trawl fishery. And, unlike 
participants in the trawl fishery, primary sablefish season 
participants are not required to carry state logbooks. State trawl 
logbook data is used in the trawl bycatch model to assess basic fishing 
behavior across the fleet, such as where and when vessels are fishing.
    To address the longer fixed gear sablefish season, the fixed gear 
bycatch model uses fleetwide, season-long estimates of discard and 
bycatch, applying those estimated rates to the total catch of sablefish 
allocated to the fishery. NMFS accounted for the newness of the longer 
sablefish season by weighting the observer data within the model such 
that data from 2003 observations was more heavily weighted than data 
from 2002 and 2001. At the April 2004 Council meeting, NMFS reported to 
the Council on its new fixed gear bycatch model and the results of its 
WCGOP observations of the primary sablefish season. The Council 
recommended that NMFS use observer program data in a model specific to 
the fixed gear fisheries to re-calculate 2004 sablefish tier limits 
based on revised estimates of sablefish discard. NMFS initially made 
the revised sablefish tier limits effective May 1 (69 FR 25013, May 5, 
2004) and later had to revise those limits to correct a calculation 
error (69 FR 38857, June 29, 2004).
    Proposed tier limits for the 2005-2006 primary sablefish season 
were based on the results of WCGOP observations of this fishery and on 
the fixed gear bycatch model. The tier limits were set to account for 
the sablefish discard in the primary fishery, with nontrawl RCA 
boundaries set to reduce bycatch of overfished species. For fishing in 
depths greater than 100 fm (183 m), the offshore boundary of the 
nontrawl RCA, the bycatch model showed bycatch of canary, darkblotched 
and yelloweye rockfish to be less than 0.2 percent of the catch of 
sablefish in weight, regardless of gear type or time of year fished. 
The bycatch of widow rockfish and POP was less than 0.1 percent of the 
catch of sablefish in weight, regardless of gear type or time of year 
fished. The bycatch of lingcod was higher, up to 1.6 percent of the 
weight of the sablefish catch, for vessels using pot gear. Observer 
data showed no catch of bocaccio or cowcod, but observations of this 
fleet were taken north of Fort Bragg, CA. Bocaccio and cowcod are 
southern species and NMFS is expanding its observer coverage southward 
to better determine whether they are taken incidentally in the primary 
sablefish fishery south of Fort Bragg, CA. Fishing observed in waters 
deeper than 150 fm (274 m) showed somewhat lower than expected bycatch 
ratios for shelf species and modestly higher than expected bycatch 
ratios for slope species, darkblotched rockfish and POP, regardless of 
gear type or time of year

[[Page 56565]]

fished. Even at 150 fm (274 m), POP bycatch was under 0.07 percent of 
sablefish catch by weight, and darkblotched rockfish bycatch was under 
0.4 percent of sablefish catch by weight.
    For the 2005-2006 non-trawl fisheries, cumulative trip limits for 
species other than sablefish were not changed as a result of the 
primary sablefish season bycatch model. NMFS does not believe that 
observer data from the primary sablefish season accurately reflects 
limited entry fixed gear fleet activities outside of the primary 
sablefish season, and is still gathering data to better characterize 
bycatch in that fishery. When observer data from the third year of 
WCGOP (September 2003 through August 2004) becomes available in early 
2005, NMFS will analyze that data to determine whether it can develop a 
model for bycatch in the nontrawl limited entry and open access 
fisheries outside of the primary sablefish fishery. This nontrawl 
bycatch model could then be used to assess 2005-2006 landings limits 
and RCA boundaries to determine whether inseason changes were needed to 
adequately protect overfished species. Proposed 2005-2006 nontrawl 
landings limits for species other than sablefish are connected to trawl 
landings limits established by the trawl bycatch model. Nontrawl gear 
vessels are prohibited from retaining overfished species that are 
routinely caught by nontrawl gear and which cannot sustain incidental 
landings limits allowances, such as canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish 
and cowcod.
Management Measures to Reduce Bycatch
    As mentioned earlier in this section, the third part of NMFS's 
bycatch reduction strategy is a series of management programs intended 
to either directly control fishing activities or to create incentives 
for bycatch reduction. NMFS has implemented a wide array of fishery 
management measures intended to minimize bycatch and bycatch mortality 
over the past several years. The agency has supported full retention 
and/or full utilization exempted fishing permit (EFP) programs for the 
Washington arrowtooth flounder trawl, yellowtail rockfish trawl and 
longline dogfish fisheries, and for the California flatfish trawl 
fishery. NMFS has also supported an Oregon EFP to experiment with 
modifying trawl net design to reduce bycatch. A lower-bycatch trawl net 
requirement based on the results of that EFP would be introduced for 
2005-2006 through the final rule for this action. This gear features a 
headrope set back from a flattened net body to capture low-swimming 
flatfish while allowing rockfish to escape over the upper edge of the 
trawl net. Because the net tends to be most effective at reducing 
rockfish bycatch in nearshore waters, it will be required only 
shoreward of the trawl RCA. CDFG will be experimenting with a similar 
flatfish-targeting net in 2004 and/or 2005. If the selective flatfish 
net proves equally effective at reducing rockfish bycatch south of 
40[deg]10' N. lat., NMFS expects to implement future requirements for 
this gear in the southern area as well.
    In addition to EFP-based experiments with gear types and fishing 
areas, NMFS has implemented shorter-than-year-round fishing seasons for 
various species and sectors of the groundfish fleet to protect 
overfished groundfish species. NMFS and the Council have also reduced 
overcapacity in the fleets, ultimately reducing the number of vessels 
on the water. Amendment 14 to the FMP implemented a permit stacking 
program for the limited entry fixed gear fleet that reduced the number 
of vessels participating in the primary sablefish fishery by about 40 
percent. In late 2003, NMFS implemented a buyback of limited entry 
trawl vessels and their permits, reducing the groundfish trawl fleet by 
about 35 percent.
    Since 2000, NMFS has required gear modifications that restrict the 
use of trawl gear in rockier habitat coastwide, and that constrain the 
catching capacity of recreational fishing gear off California. Higher 
groundfish landings limits have been made available for trawl vessels 
using gear or operating in areas where overfished species are less 
likely to be taken. Species-to-species landings limit ratios have been 
thoroughly examined in the bycatch model mentioned earlier, and are re-
examined each year as new observer program data become available. And, 
NMFS has implemented a suite of coastwide marine protected areas known 
collectively as the GCAs, in which different types of groundfish 
fishing activities are prohibited.
    Some of NMFS's bycatch minimization measures are provided in the 
FMP and others have been implemented through regulatory action. NMFS 
has been exploring whether to include more of these measures, as well 
as new bycatch reduction measures, into the FMP through a draft 
programmatic EIS on its bycatch reduction program (69 FR 9313, 
February, 27, 2004). In winter 2004-2005, NMFS will work with the 
Council to develop amendatory language for the FMP that comports with 
the Council's preferred alternative from the FEIS. NMFS anticipates 
that this FMP amendment, which will likely be numbered Amendment 18, 
will be made available to the public in the Council process this fall 
and through the Magnuson-Stevens Act public notice-and-comment process 
in 2005.

2005-2006 Fishery Management Measures

    As in past years, the Council's overriding goal in developing the 
fishery management measures for 2005-2006 was to meet overfished 
species rebuilding plan objectives for those years. On April 30, 2004 
(69 FR 23667), NMFS declared the Pacific whiting biomass to be above 
BMSY, which leaves eight West Coast groundfish species characterized as 
overfished. Overfished species rebuilding plans for each species are 
discussed earlier in this document. Within the constraints of 
protecting overfished species, the Council's management measures 
recommendations are also intended to allow fishery participants as much 
access to healthy stocks as possible.
    Of the management measures intended to protect overfished species, 
protective measures for canary rockfish coastwide, yelloweye rockfish 
north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat., and bocaccio south of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. 
are the most constraining. Canary rockfish and bocaccio in particular 
are caught in a wide array of fisheries and are distributed broadly on 
the continental shelf. For 2005-2006, the Council has recommended 
continuing the use of RCAs that are gear specific and which close 
groundfish fishing over much of the continental shelf. As in 2004, 
there will be separate RCA closures for commercial trawl fisheries, 
commercial nontrawl fisheries, and recreational fisheries. These gear- 
and sector-specific closures are intended to reflect the varied effects 
that each sector has on particular overfished species. For example, 
yelloweye rockfish is a northern species that is taken almost 
exclusively with hook-and-line gear. As a result, the Washington 
recreational fisheries are still prohibited within the YRCA and 
nontrawl commercial fisheries are prohibited over northern continental 
shelf areas where yelloweye rockfish are commonly found. Limited entry 
vessels will continue to be monitored for compliance with RCA 
requirements by the West Coast vessel monitoring system (VMS). The 
Council plans to discuss expanding VMS requirements to the open access 
fisheries at its September and November 2004 meetings.
    In addition to RCAs for the commercial and recreational fisheries, 
routine management measures for

[[Page 56566]]

commercial groundfish fisheries will continue to include trip limits, 
size limits, differential trip limits by gear type, and closed seasons. 
The recreational fisheries will use these same management measures, 
with bag limits in lieu of trip limits, plus boat limits, hook limits, 
and dressing requirements. On August 3, 2004 (69 FR 46448), NMFS 
published an emergency rule to establish routine management measures 
authority to close the whiting primary season fisheries by sector 
before the sector's whiting allocation is reached, to minimize impacts 
on overfished species. The action established a mechanism that can be 
used to quickly close the commercial whiting primary season fisheries 
if NMFS estimates that the incidental catch of an overfished species is 
too high. With this rule, NMFS is proposing to provide that same 
routine authority in 2005 and beyond. Also new for 2005 and beyond is a 
bycatch-reducing gear requirement for trawlers operating north of 
40[deg] 10' N. lat., which is explained below in the section on Limited 
Entry Trawl Fishery Management Measures.
    In addition to the management measures recommended by the Council, 
NMFS is proposing with this rule to prohibit the transfer of fish at 
sea, except for vessels participating in either the catcher-processor 
or mothership sectors of the whiting fisheries. At-sea transfers of 
groundfish are not traditional in West Coast fisheries and the 
fisheries data-gathering systems are not designed to accommodate the 
transfer and purchase of groundfish at-sea. West Coast groundfish 
landings, except for in the at-sea whiting fishery, are monitored as 
they are landed on shore. NMFS is proposing this measure to improve 
enforcement of landings limits and to better ensure that groundfish 
entering the market are tracked and accounted for.
    The management measures proposed in this rule are only one piece of 
the overall management strategy for West Coast groundfish. NMFS will 
continue to require vessels to carry and operate VMS units to monitor 
fishing locations, and to carry observers when requested by NMFS. NMFS 
and the states will be conducting up to 23 stock assessments over the 
next two years, which will inform the 2007-2008 specifications and 
management measures process and provide a gauge for rebuilding 
progress. In December 2003, NMFS implemented a trawl vessel and permit 
buyback program that reduced fleet participation by about 35 percent. 
The agency will continue to work with the Council to craft capacity 
reduction measures for the different sectors of the fleet. Also in 
2005, NMFS plans to complete an environmental impact statement EIS 
(EIS) on West Coast groundfish essential fish habitat. Information in 
this EIS should be useful to the Council in evaluating and improving 
its overfished species rebuilding measures and in setting its 2007-2008 
management measures.
    As discussed in the introductory Background text for this notice, 
NMFS has reorganized its regulations at 50 CFR 660 subpart G to 
accommodate codifying the fishery specifications and management 
measures into the Code of Federal Regulations. Routine management 
measures, as identified at Sec.  660.370 and implemented in Sec. Sec.  
660.381 through 660.385 and in Tables 3-5 of subpart G, will continue 
to be available for revision through the inseason management process. 
Overfished species rebuilding parameters, which were formerly at Sec.  
660.370, are now at Sec.  660.365. Overall fishery management measures 
are found at Sec.  660.370. In addition to the fishery-specific 
management measures provided in Sec. Sec.  660.381 through 660.385 and 
Tables 3-5 of subpart G, NMFS plans to continue its past practice of 
implementing separate management measures for black rockfish, 
sablefish, and Pacific whiting fisheries. Management measures specific 
to the black rockfish fisheries are found at Sec.  660.371. Management 
measures for the nontrawl sablefish fisheries are found at Sec.  
660.372, although daily/weekly sablefish limits are found in Tables 4 
and 5 (North) and Tables 4 and 5 (South) of subpart G. Management 
measures for the primary Pacific whiting season are found at Sec.  
660.373, although trip limits for vessels operating outside of the 
primary season are found in Tables 3 (North) and (South) of Subpart G. 
Coordinates bounding the Groundfish Conservation Areas are found at 
Sec. Sec.  660.390 through 660.394.

Limited Entry Trawl Fishery Management Measures

    Limited entry trawl fishery management measures for 2005-2006 
reflect recent changes in the composition of the trawl fleet and 
information about its activities. As discussed earlier in this notice, 
NMFS has incorporated a second year's worth of observer data into the 
trawl bycatch model. Using this second year of data allows the model to 
better characterize the fishery by seasons by comparing data between 
years. This model stability allows NMFS to develop trawl trip limits 
that reflect co-occurrence ratios between healthy target species and 
overfished species, and which vary based on the size of the trawl RCA. 
Trawl trip limits are moderately higher than in recent years, largely 
because the trawl vessel/permit buyback program reduced the number of 
vessels participating in the fishery by about 35 percent. With fewer 
vessels participating in the fishery, each individual vessel may be 
allowed to access higher trip limits. Flatfish trawl trip limits for 
vessels using small footrope trawl gear shoreward of the trawl RCA and 
north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. are higher than in recent years in part 
because NMFS is proposing to require trawlers to use gear that reduces 
rockfish bycatch in this area. The CDFG is conducting an experiment in 
2004 with this same gear to determine whether it could be effective in 
reducing rockfish bycatch in flatfish trawl fisheries that occur south 
of 40[deg] 10' N. lat.
    Of the overfished species found north of 40[deg]10' N. lat., the 
trawl RCA is designed primarily to protect canary rockfish, although 
its location also provides protection for other, northern overfished 
species such as widow, yelloweye and darkblotched rockfishes and 
lingcod. The trawl RCA has an eastern boundary of coordinates 
approximating 75 fm (137 m) in the winter months of January-February 
and November-December, and eastern boundary of coordinates 
approximating 100 fm (183 m) in March-October, and a western boundary 
of coordinates approximating 150 fm (274 m) throughout the year. 
Flatfish tend to aggregate for spawning in the winter and may be 
harvested during winter months with lower bycatch of non-target 
species. Trawl trip limits for flatfish are set higher during the 
winter months to allow vessels to target flatfish species OYs during 
times when bycatch of overfished species is lower.
    Throughout the year, flatfish trip limits are lower shoreward of 
the trawl RCA than offshore of the RCA. Canary rockfish are most 
commonly distributed in 50-100 fm (91-183 m) depths, which means that 
vessels operating inshore of the RCA are more likely to encounter 
canary rockfish than those operating seaward of the RCA. To reduce 
incidental take of canary rockfish shoreward of the RCA, vessels 
operating in the area north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. are required to use 
selective flatfish trawl gear. Selective flatfish trawl gear catches 
flatfish with lower rockfish bycatch rates; therefore, the flatfish 
limits north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. are higher than they would have been 
without this gear requirement. Because canary rockfish is more likely 
to be taken in the flatfish fisheries than in the deepwater complex

[[Page 56567]]

fisheries, the trawl RCA is larger during the winter months, when trawl 
vessels are provided more flatfish fishing opportunities.
    Seaward of their RCA, trawlers north of 40[deg] 1'' N. lat. target 
continental slope species in addition to flatfish species. Continental 
slope species include DTS complex species, minor slope rockfish, and 
POP. Of these, darkblotched rockfish (a minor slope rockfish species) 
and POP are considered overfished. DTS complex species 2005-2006 limits 
are most constrained by the need to keep the fisheries within the 
shortspine thornyhead OY. Minor slope rockfish and POP limits are set 
at levels that are expected to allow vessels targeting DTS species to 
retain their incidentally caught slope rockfish. Because the trawl RCA 
includes areas of slope rockfish abundance and because the shortspine 
thornyhead OY constrains DTS complex fishing, NMFS expects 2005-2006 
darkblotched rockfish and POP catch to stay well below the OYs for 
those species. DTS limits for 2005-2006 will be higher during the 
summer months when vessels have less access to flatfish. As in past 
years, trawl vessels are only permitted to use large footrope gear 
seaward of their RCA, but prohibited from using large footrope gear 
shoreward of the RCA.
    Canary rockfish rebuilding requirements and the shortspine 
thornyhead OY are also the most constraining factors for the trawl 
fishery south of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. Canary rockfish is a shelf 
rockfish species, like bocaccio, and NMFS expects that management 
measures to protect canary rockfish will constrain the fisheries such 
that the bocaccio OY is not achieved in 2005 or 2006. Off the mainland 
coast of California, the trawl RCA boundaries are similar to those 
north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat.: bounded by coordinates approximating 75 
and 150 fm (137 and 274 m) in January-February and November December, 
and by coordinates approximating 100 and 150 fm (183 and 274 m) in 
March-October. Between 40[deg] 10' N. lat. and 34[deg] 27' N. lat., the 
State of California also prohibits trawling between the shoreline and 
the 10 fm (18 m) depth contour around the Farallon Islands. South of 
34[deg] 27' N. lat., the trawl RCA around islands extends from the 
shoreline to a boundary approximating the 150 fm (274 m) depth contour. 
As in past years, groundfish trawling will be prohibited within the 
Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs), defined at Sec. Sec.  660.390 through 
660.394.
    Trawl management measures for flatfish trawl fisheries south of 
40[deg] 10[deg] N. lat. are similar to those set for the northern area. 
Landings limits are higher and the trawl RCA is more restrictive during 
winter months to allow vessels access to more abundant flatfish stocks 
during their aggregation period without increasing overfished species 
bycatch. Trawlers who operate south of 40[deg] 10' N. lat. requested 
that the Council develop continental slope species limits that were the 
same for each two-month cumulative period throughout the year, within 
the constraints of the shortspine thornyhead OY. Southern area trawlers 
have less dangerous winter weather than those operating north of 
40[deg] 10' N. lat., thus are more able to choose a management strategy 
of unchanging landings limits within the constraints of overfished 
species rebuilding requirements. Because management measures that 
protect canary rockfish will also notably restrict the incidental catch 
of bocaccio, the Council is allowing some targeting of a healthy stock 
that co-occurs with bocaccio, chilipepper rockfish. Vessels that target 
chilipepper with large footrope gear seaward of the RCA or with 
midwater trawl gear will be allowed higher chilipepper landings limits 
in May-August.
    Taken as a whole, trawl management measures to protect canary 
rockfish are also expected to provide protections to co-occurring 
overfished species coastwide. Continental shelf overfished species 
(lingcod, bocaccio, cowcod, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish) 
will be protected by RCAs and trip limit structures intended to 
constrain the incidental catch of canary rockfish. Cowcod will continue 
to be protected by CCA closures off the Southern California Bight. 
While lingcod is not yet rebuilt, it is abundant enough that it no 
longer constrains fisheries for co-occurring species. Trawl limits for 
lingcod are still at incidental take levels to discourage vessels from 
targeting lingcod.
    Widow rockfish will also benefit from some management measures to 
protect canary rockfish; however, widow rockfish is commonly taken in 
midwater trawl fisheries and requires additional protective management 
measures. Coastwide, landings limits for continental shelf rockfish are 
kept at incidental levels for bottom trawl gear, except for the 
chilipepper opportunity described earlier. North of 40[deg] 10' N. 
lat., where widow rockfish are more commonly found, NMFS proposes to 
provide incidental widow rockfish landings limits for the primary 
whiting midwater trawl fishery. In 2004, NMFS set the Pacific whiting 
OY much lower than the stock's abundance would have allowed in order to 
protect co-occurring widow rockfish (69 FR 23367, April 30, 2004). NMFS 
anticipates setting the 2005 and 2006 Pacific whiting OYs such that the 
whiting harvest levels continue to be constrained by the amount of 
widow rockfish available for incidental retention.
    Management measures for the limited entry trawl fishery, including 
gear requirements, are found at Sec.  660.381, with management measures 
specific to the primary Pacific whiting season found at Sec.  660.373. 
Trawl trip limits are found in Table 3 (North) and Table 3 (South) of 
Subpart G of Part 660.

Limited Entry Fixed Gear Fishery Management Measures

    Like their trawler counterparts, participants in the limited entry 
fixed gear fishery have their fishing opportunities most constrained by 
the need to protect canary rockfish. Darkblotched rockfish and POP are 
not as much of a concern for nontrawl gear, as these species are almost 
exclusively taken with trawl gear. Yelloweye rockfish, however, tends 
to be more susceptible to hook-and-line gear than to trawl gear. Thus, 
the Council developed management measures for nontrawl fisheries 
primarily oriented at protecting canary rockfish coastwide, yelloweye 
rockfish north of 40[deg] 10' N. lat., and bocaccio and cowcod south of 
40[deg]10' N. lat.
    The nontrawl RCA, which applies to both limited entry and open 
access nontrawl gear, would have the same boundaries in 2005-2006 as it 
had in 2004. Between the U.S. border with Canada and 46[deg] 16' N. 
lat. (Washington/Oregon border), the nontrawl RCA extends from the 
shoreline to a boundary approximating the 100 fm (183 m) depth contour. 
Between 46[deg] 16' N. lat. and 40[deg] 10' N. lat., the nontrawl RCA 
lies between boundaries approximating the 30 fm (55 m) and 100 fm (183 
m) depth contours. Between 40[deg] 10' N. lat. and 34[deg] 27' N. lat., 
the shoreward boundary of the nontrawl RCA is a line approximating the 
30 fm (55 m) depth contour in January-April and September-December) and 
the 20 fm (37 m) in May-August. Throughout the year, the western 
boundary of the nontrawl RCA for the area between 40[deg] 10' N. lat. 
and 34[deg] 27' N. lat. is a boundary approximating the 150 fm depth 
contour. South of 34[deg] 27' N. lat., the nontrawl RCA lies between 
boundaries approximating the 60 fm (110 m) and 150 fm (274 m) depth 
contours. These RCA boundaries are intended to encourage the nontrawl 
fleets to fish off of the continental shelf, to protect overfished 
shelf species susceptible to nontrawl gear. Bocaccio is more frequently 
caught between 40[deg] 10'

[[Page 56568]]

N. lat. and 34[deg] 27' N. lat. than south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat., thus 
the Council proposed a more broad closed area for waters off the 
central California coast. The CCAs off the Southern California Bight 
will again be closed to commercial groundfish fishing to prevent 
vessels from fishing in areas of higher cowcod abundance.
    Landings limits for the limited entry fixed gear fleet north of 
40[deg]10' N. lat. provide vessels with access to continental slope and 
nearshore species, while closing access to continental shelf species. 
Retention of canary and yelloweye rockfish is prohibited throughout the 
year. As in past years, landing lingcod will be prohibited in January-
April and in November-December to protect lingcod during their spawning 
and nest-guarding season.
    For waters south of 40[deg] 10' N. lat., the Council also developed 
landings limits intended to draw vessels away from continental shelf 
species. Retention of canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, and cowcod 
is prohibited throughout the year and only minimal levels of bocaccio 
retention are permitted. Also similar to the northern area, lingcod 
retention is only permitted during May-October. Unlike in 2004, closed 
seasons in the southern area would be aligned both north and south of 
34[deg]27' N. lat. Landings of minor nearshore, minor shelf, bocaccio, 
widow, and yellowtail rockfish, as well as of California scorpionfish 
will be prohibited in March-April from 40[deg]10' N. lat to the U.S. 
border with Mexico.
    As discussed earlier in the section on bycatch and discard 
management, NMFS has developed a new bycatch model for the limited 
entry primary sablefish season. This model indicates somewhat lower 
overfished species bycatch rates in the primary sablefish season than 
the agency had previously estimated. However, the sablefish stock 
assessment, which was prepared in 2001 and updated for 2002, indicates 
a declining ABC/OY for sablefish over 2005-2006. Thus the limited entry 
sablefish tier limits will be lower in 2005 than in 2004 and lower 
again in 2006. The proposed tier limits for 2005 are: 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). The proposed tier limits for 2006 are: 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). The primary sablefish season is open from April 1 
through October 31, north of 36[deg] N. lat. Both north and south of 
36[deg] N. lat., the daily and/or weekly sablefish trip limits are 
proposed to be the same in 2005 and 2006 as in 2004. The daily trip 
limit fishery often does not reach its full allocation, so NMFS does 
not expect that allowing the same landings limits as in 2004 will risk 
exceeding the sablefish OY. These and all other landings limits may be 
adjusted inseason to keep catch within allowable levels.
    Management measures for the limited entry fixed gear fishery, 
including gear requirements, are found at Sec.  660.382, with 
management measures specific to the primary sablefish season found at 
Sec.  660.372. Trip limits are found in Table 4 (North) and Table 4 
(South) of Subpart G of Part 660.

Open Access Nontrawl Gear (Hook-and-Line, Troll, Pot, Setnet, Trammel 
Net) Fisheries Management Measures

    The open access nontrawl fishery is managed separately from the 
limited entry fixed gear fishery, but overfished species protection 
measures are similar for both sectors. The nontrawl RCA boundaries that 
apply to the limited entry fixed gear fleet also apply to the open 
access nontrawl fleet, as do the CCAs. Also similar to the limited 
entry fleet, greater landings limits are provided for continental slope 
and nearshore species, with closed seasons and lower limits for 
continental shelf species, including the same closed periods for 
lingcod as in the limited entry fixed gear fisheries. North of 40[deg] 
10' N. lat., salmon trollers will be permitted to retain and land up to 
1 lb (.45 kg) of yellowtail rockfish for every 2 lb (.9 kg) of salmon 
landed, up to 200 lb (91 kg) per month, both within and outside of the 
RCA. As in past years, thornyheads may not be taken or retained in the 
open access fisheries north of 34[deg] 27' N. lat.
    Open access cumulative limits may sometimes be set higher than 
those for limited entry vessels. If a vessel with a limited entry 
permit uses open access gear (including nongroundfish trawl gear) and 
the open access cumulative limit is larger, the vessel will be 
constrained by the smaller limited entry cumulative limit for the 
entire cumulative limit period. Management measures for the open access 
fisheries, including gear requirements, are found at Sec.  660.383. 
Trip limits are found in Table 5 (North) and Table 5 (South) of Subpart 
G of Part 660.

Open Access Non-Groundfish Trawl Gear Fisheries Management Measures

    Open access non-groundfish trawl gear (used to harvest ridgeback 
prawns, California halibut, sea cucumbers, and pink shrimp) is managed 
with ``per trip'' limits, cumulative trip limits, and area closures. 
These trip limits are similar to those in 2004. The species-specific 
open access limits apply but vessels may not exceed overall groundfish 
limits. As in past years, the pink shrimp fishery is subject to 
species-specific limits that are different from other open access 
limits for lingcod and sablefish. As in past years, thornyheads may not 
be taken or retained in the open access fisheries north of 34[deg] 27' 
N. lat.
    Trawling with open access non-groundfish gear for pink shrimp will 
be permitted within the trawl RCA; however, the states require pink 
shrimp trawlers to use finfish excluder devices to reduce their 
groundfish bycatch, particularly to protect canary and other 
rockfishes. Off California, trawling for ridgeback prawns, California 
halibut, and sea cucumber is prohibited within the trawl RCA. All open 
access trawlers, except for those trawling for pink shrimp coastwide 
and ridgeback prawns south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. are subject to the 
same trawl RCA boundaries. South of 34[deg]27' N. lat., ridgeback prawn 
trawl vessels, which operate in flat bottom areas, are subject to an 
RCA closure between boundaries approximating the 100 fm (183 m) and 150 
fm (274 m) depth contours. These finfish excluders and RCA restrictions 
off California are particularly intended to protect southern and 
coastwide overfished species such as bocaccio, cowcod, canary rockfish, 
and lingcod. Cowcod prohibitions and closures continue to apply to all 
open access vessels. Management measures for the open access fisheries, 
including gear requirements, are found at Sec.  660.383. Trip limits 
are found in Table 5 (North) and Table 5 (South) of subpart G of part 
660.

Recreational Fisheries Management Measures

    Recreational fisheries management measures are designed to protect 
overfished and nearshore species while also allowing favorable fishing 
seasons. Overfished species that tend to be vulnerable to recreational 
fisheries are lingcod, bocaccio, cowcod, and canary and yelloweye 
rockfish. Because sport fisheries are more concentrated in nearshore 
waters, the 2005-2006 recreational fishery management measures are also 
intended to provide protections for nearshore species such as black 
rockfish and cabezon. These protections are particularly important for 
fisheries off California, where the bulk of West Coast recreational 
fishing tends to occur. Washington, Oregon, and California each 
proposed, and the Council recommended, different combinations of 
seasons, bag limits, and size limits to best fit the needs and

[[Page 56569]]

constraints of their recreational fisheries.
    Off Washington, recreational fishing for groundfish and halibut 
will continue to be prohibited inside the YRCA, a C-shaped closed area 
off the northern Washington coast. Coordinates for the YRCA are defined 
at 50 CFR 660.390. The groundfish bag limit off Washington will remain 
the same as in 2004: 15 aggregate bottomfish bag limit; 10 rockfish 
sub-limit with no retention of canary or yelloweye rockfish; 2 lingcod 
sub-limit, with a minimum size of 24 inches (61.4 cm). The lingcod 
seasons in 2005 and 2006 will be the same as in 2004, beginning on the 
Saturday in March closest to March 15th, and ending on the Saturday in 
October closest to October 15th. In 2005, recreational fishing for 
lingcod off Washington will be open from March 12 through October 15. 
In 2006, recreational fishing for lingcod will be open from March 18 
through October 14. If the recreational harvest guideline for canary 
rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, or lingcod specified for the Washington/
Oregon area is projected to be exceeded, the Washington Department of 
Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will consult with ODFW on whether to take 
inseason action to adjust recreational fishery management measures or 
close all or parts of the recreational fisheries inseason.
    Off Oregon, recreational fishing for groundfish will be depth-
restricted June through September, when the fishery will be closed 
offshore of a boundary approximating the 40 fm (73 m) depth contour. 
Recreational fisheries participation is heaviest during these months 
and this closure is intended to move the groundfish fisheries inshore 
of the continental shelf to protect canary and yelloweye rockfish. 
Recreational fisheries off Oregon will retain their 10-marine fish bag 
limit, which includes all rockfish, greenling species, cabezons, and 
other marine species, but excludes salmon, lingcod, halibut, perches, 
sturgeon, sanddabs, striped bass, tuna, and baitfish. As in waters off 
Washington, retention of yelloweye and canary rockfish will be 
prohibited. The lingcod bag limit will remain at 2 fish per day, and 
the size limit will remain at 24 inches (61.4 cm). As discussed in the 
paragraph on Washington recreational fisheries, ODFW plans to consult 
with WDFW on inseason actions if canary rockfish, yelloweye rockfish, 
or lingcod harvest guidelines are projected to be exceeded.
    The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and its 
recreational fisheries constituents developed a series of management 
measures intended to constrain the recreational fisheries enough to 
keep total mortality within appropriate set asides and harvest 
guidelines. For 2005-2006, the Council adopted CDFG's recommendation to 
divide the recreational fisheries off California into four separate 
regions: the Oregon/California border to 40[deg]10' N. lat.; 40[deg]10' 
N. lat. to 36[deg] N. lat.; 36[deg] N. lat. to 34[deg] 27' N. lat., 
and; 34[deg]27' N. lat. to the U.S./Mexico border. Season and area 
closures differ between California regions to better protect overfished 
species according to where those species occur and where fishing effort 
is strongest. In addition to the region-specific management measures, 
the Council has proposed a California-wide combined bag limit for the 
Rockfish-Cabezon-Greenling complex of 10 fish per day. Bag limits are 
only available when seasons are open. Fishing for lingcod will be 
closed California-wide in January-March and in December to protect 
lingcod during its spawning and nesting season. As in Oregon and 
Washington, there will be a 2-fish lingcod bag limit and a size limit 
of 24 inches (61.4 cm) for sport fisheries off California. The season 
and area closures described below would apply only to ocean fishing 
vessels, not to divers or to shore-based anglers.
    Between the Oregon/California border (42[deg] N. lat.) and 
40[deg]10' N. lat., the recreational fishery will be open July through 
October in waters shallower than a boundary approximating the 40 fm (73 
m) depth contour. Between 40[deg]10' N. lat. and 36[deg] N. lat., the 
recreational fishery will be open July through November, in waters 
shallower than a boundary approximating the 20 fm (37 m) depth contour. 
These northern California waters seasons and area closures are intended 
to protect lingcod and canary rockfish, as well as to limit the catch 
of black rockfish. The more shallow closure between 40[deg]10' N. lat. 
and 36[deg] N. lat. is also intended to move vessels inshore of areas 
of greater bocaccio concentration.
    Between 36[deg] N. lat. and 34[deg]27' N. lat., the fishery will be 
open May through September in waters between two boundaries 
approximating the 20 fm (37 m) and 40 fm (74 m) depth contours. South 
of 34[deg]27' N. lat. to the U.S. border with Mexico, the fishery will 
be open from March through June, in waters between two boundaries 
approximating the 30 fm (55 m) and 60 fm (110 m) depth contours. In 
this same region, the fishery will continue to be open from July 
through September in waters shallower than a boundary approximating the 
40 fm (74 m) depth contour. These time and area closures are intended 
to protect canary rockfish in the southern edge of its range and to 
protect bocaccio. Cowcod continue to be protected in the area south of 
34[deg]27' N. lat. by the CCAs, which are closed throughout the year to 
recreational fishing for groundfish.
    In the past few years, CDFG and NMFS have had to implement inseason 
management measures changes for the recreational fisheries to constrain 
fishing effort. Because there are over half a million anglers 
participating in California's recreational fisheries, it is often 
challenging for CDFG to ensure that all anglers are apprized of changes 
to management measures. CDFG proposed for 2005-2006 a package of 
management measures to strongly constrain their recreational fisheries 
in part to reduce the chance that it will later need to restrict the 
fishery and to ensure that participants know of the new restrictions. 
CDFG hopes that with their proposed package of restrictions there will 
be either no need for inseason actions, or only a need to liberalize 
management measures inseason. In March 2004, CDFG launched its new 
California Recreational Fisheries Survey (CRFS), which is intended to 
replace the Federal Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistical Survey 
(MRFSS). CDFG has been using new survey techniques to assess 
recreational fisheries catch and expects to begin releasing CRFS data 
in fall 2004. The MRFSS survey of recreational fisheries was designed 
to provide broad annual data on the recreational fisheries. CRFS, by 
contrast, is intended in part to support inseason tracking and 
management of recreational fisheries. CDFG anticipates reviewing its 
CRFS data and the 2005 and 2006 season structures as the seasons 
progress to ensure that management measures are adequately restrictive 
to protect overfished and other groundfish species.
    Management measures for recreational fisheries off all three West 
Coast states are found at Sec.  660.384.

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).
    For those species with tribal allocations, the tribal allocation is 
subtracted from the species OY before

[[Page 56570]]

limited entry and open access allocations are derived. The tribal 
fisheries for sablefish, black rockfish, and whiting are separate 
fisheries and are not governed by the limited entry or open access 
regulations or allocations. The tribes regulate these fisheries so as 
to not exceed their allocations.
    The tribal harvest guideline for black rockfish is the same in 2005 
and 2006 as it was in 2004. Also similar to 2004, the tribal sablefish 
allocation is 10 percent of the total catch OY north of 36[deg] N. 
lat., less 2.3 percent for estimated discard mortality. For 2005, the 
tribal sablefish allocation is 748.6 mt, less 17.2 mt for discard 
mortality, or 731.4 mt. For 2006, the tribal sablefish allocation is 
736.3 mt, less 16.9 mt for discard mortality, or 719.4 mt.
    From 1999 through 2004, the tribal whiting allocation has been 
based on a methodology originally proposed by the Makah Tribe in 1998. 
The methodology is an abundance-based sliding scale that determines the 
tribal allocation based on the overall U.S. OY, up to a maximum 17.5 
percent tribal harvest ceiling at OY levels below 145,000 mt. The 
tribes have proposed using the same methodology in 2005 and 2006, and 
the allocation will be calculated based on that methodology once the 
final whiting OY is determined. No other tribes have proposed to 
harvest whiting in 2005 or 2006.
    The sliding scale methodology used to determine the treaty Indian 
share of Pacific whiting is the subject of ongoing litigation. In 
United States v. Washington, Subproceeding 96-2, the Court held that 
the methodology is consistent with the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and is the 
best available scientific method to determine the appropriate 
allocation of whiting to the tribes. United States v. Washington, 143 
F.Supp.2d 1218 (W.D. Wash. 2001). This ruling was reaffirmed in July 
2002, Midwater Trawlers Cooperative v. Daley, C96-1808R (W.D. Wash.) 
(Order Granting Defendants' Motion to Supplement Record, July 17, 
2002), and again in April 2003, id., Order Granting Federal Defendants' 
and Makah's Motions for Summary Judgment and Denying Plaintiffs' 
Motions for Summary Judgment, April 15, 2003. The latter ruling has 
been appealed to the Ninth Circuit, but no decision has been rendered 
as yet. At this time NMFS remains under a Court order in Subproceeding 
96-2 to continue use of the sliding scale methodology unless the 
Secretary of Commerce finds just cause for its alteration or 
abandonment, the parties agree to a permissible alternative, or further 
order issues from the Court. Therefore, NMFS is obliged to continue to 
use the methodology unless one of the events identified by the Court 
occurs. Since NMFS finds no reason to change the methodology, it has 
been used to determine the 2005-2006 tribal allocations.
    In addition, with respect to the 2005-2006 treaty Indian 
allocations of Pacific whiting, NMFS has reviewed the scientific 
information set forth in the Declaration of William L. Robinson dated 
April 26, 2002, and the Declaration of Dr. Richard D. Methot, Jr., 
dated April 18, 2002, which were submitted with the Federal Defendants' 
Statement Regarding Remand in Midwater Trawlers Cooperative v. 
Department of Commerce, No. C99-1415BJR and No. C99-1500BJR 
(Consolidated) (W.D. Wash.). NMFS has no additional information that 
would change the conclusions in these declarations on the distribution 
and migratory pattern of the stock. Therefore, NMFS is relying on the 
information in those declarations as the best scientific information 
currently available. Accordingly, NMFS finds that the 2005-2006 treaty 
Indian allocations of Pacific whiting, which are based on the sliding 
scale methodology that has been in use since 1999, are based on the 
best scientific information available, and are within the Indian treaty 
right as described in Midwater Trawlers Cooperative v. Department of 
Commerce, 282 F.3d 710, 718 (9th Cir. 2002). NMFS has rejected and 
continues to reject the so-called ``biomass'' method of calculating the 
treaty right. As stated in U.S. v. Washington, Subproceeding 96-2, 143 
F. Supp.2d 1218, 1223-1224 (W.D. Wash. 2001), the biomass method is not 
required for conservation and underestimates the quantity of fish that 
pass through the tribal usual and accustomed fishing grounds, and hence 
it cannot serve as the basis for calculating the treaty share. Also, 
application of the biomass method to calculate the treaty Indian 
allocation of Pacific whiting would illegally discriminate against 
tribal fishing interests, since the biomass method is not used in 
management of the non-treaty fishery. Id.; also see Makah v. Brown, 
C85-1606R, Order on Five Motions Relating to Treaty Halibut Fishing at 
6 (W.D.Wash. Dec. 29, 1993).
    For some species, on which the tribes have a modest harvest, no 
specific allocation has been determined. Rather than try to reserve 
specific allocations for the tribes, NMFS is establishing trip limits 
recommended by the tribes and the Council to accommodate modest tribal 
fisheries. For lingcod, all tribal fisheries are restricted to 600 lb 
(272 kg) per day and 1,800 lb (816 kg) per week, except for in the 
treaty salmon troll fishery, which would be limited to 1,000 lb (454 
kg) per day and 4,000 lb (1,814 kg) per week. Tribal fisheries will be 
managed to a 50 mt lingcod harvest guideline in 2005 and 2006, although 
tribal fisheries may take as much as 100 mt if they determine that they 
are able to fish in times and areas where additional lingcod harvest 
does not result in increased take of canary rockfish above the level 
the tribes have projected will be taken in 2005 and 2006 (i.e., 2.6 mt 
each year in tribal non-whiting fisheries).
    For rockfish species, the 2005-2006 tribal longline and trawl 
fisheries will operate under trip and cumulative limits. Tribal 
fisheries will operate under a 300 lb (136 kg) per trip limit each for 
canary rockfish, thornyheads, and the minor rockfish species groups 
(nearshore, shelf, and slope), and under a 100 lb (45 kg) per trip 
limit for yelloweye rockfish. A 300 lb per trip (136 kg) limit for 
canary rockfish is expected to result in landings of 3.1 mt in both 
2005 and 2006. A 300 lb (136 kg) per trip limit for thornyheads is 
expected to result in landings of 6.7 mt in 2005 and 6.6 mt in 2006. 
Other rockfish limits are expected to result in the following landings 
levels: widow rockfish, 40 mt in both years; yelloweye rockfish, 2.4 mt 
in both years; yellowtail rockfish, 506 mt in both years; minor shelf 
rockfish excluding yelloweye, 1.3 mt in both years; minor slope 
rockfish, 23.5 mt. Trace amounts (<1 mt) of minor nearshore rockfish, 
POP, and darkblotched rockfish may also be landed in tribal commercial 
fisheries. For 2005 and beyond, tribal fishing regulations as 
recommended by the tribes and the Council and adopted by NMFS will be 
found in Federal regulations at 50 CFR 660.385.

Fishing Communities and Impacts

    The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires that actions taken to implement 
FMPs be consistent with the 10 national standards, one of which 
requires that conservation and management measures shall, consistent 
with the conservation 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

[[Page 56571]]

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.
    For participants in and communities that depend on the trawl 
fisheries, fishing opportunities will be improved in 2005-2006 over 
2003-2004. In December 2003, NMFS bought 91 trawl vessels and their 
Federal groundfish permits out of the fishery. This buyback reduced the 
fleet by about 35 percent, allowing increased landings limits for the 
remaining vessels. The Council developed trawl landings limits for 2005 
and 2006 based on the trawl bycatch model. In 2005, the trawl bycatch 
model will be in its fourth year of use in the fisheries. The model 
includes more observer data and more recent fisheries data than in past 
years, which has stabilized estimated bycatch rates from past years' 
model estimates. Additionally, the Council has recommended a bycatch-
reducing gear requirement for the trawl fisheries. The selective 
flatfish trawl net will be required for use in waters shoreward of the 
RCA north of 40[deg]10[deg] N. lat. This net has lower rockfish bycatch 
rates than traditional trawl gear, allowing the Council to set higher 
landings limits for the more abundant flatfish species that tend to co-
occur with some overfished rockfish species. Some trawlers required to 
use selective flatfish trawl gear will be able to modify their current 
nets to meet the gear requirements, while others may need to purchase 
new nets to comply with the regulations. Between a reduced trawl fleet, 
a stabilized bycatch model, and reduced bycatch rates with the new gear 
requirements, trawlers will have higher target species fishing 
opportunities in 2005-2006 than in recent past years. Communities with 
processing facilities where trawlers make landings, such as Westport, 
Washington; Astoria and Newport, Oregon; and San Francisco and Moss 
Landing/Monterey, California, may expect to benefit from higher trawl 
landings limits in 2005-2006.
    Landings limits in the limited entry fixed gear and open access 
commercial fisheries are proposed to remain stable from 2004 levels. 
Although the sablefish OY in 2005 is lower than in 2004 and lower still 
in 2006, estimated bycatch rates based on observer data are lower than 
NMFS's previous bycatch assumptions for the primary sablefish fishery. 
Thus, tier limits are lower in accordance with the lower OYs, but 
higher than they would have been before NMFS incorporated observer data 
into a model specific to this fishery. Communities that tend to receive 
non-trawl commercial landings, such as Bellingham and Neah Bay, 
Washington; Newport and Port Orford, Oregon; and Moss Landing and 
Crescent City, California may expect to see stable non-trawl landings 
levels through 2006.
    Similar to the non-trawl commercial fleet, the recreational 
fisheries off Washington and Oregon are proposed to have the same 
management measures in 2005 and 2006 as in 2004. Groundfish taken in 
the northern recreational fisheries is often caught by anglers who are 
primarily targeting more glamorous trophy species, such as salmon or 
halibut. Thus the economic benefits to charter operations and the 
social benefits to all anglers of a stabilized groundfish fishery may 
be affected by as-yet-undetermined 2005-2006 salmon and halibut harvest 
levels. Coastal communities like Neah Bay, Westport, and Ilwaco, 
Washington, and Garibaldi, Newport, and Charleston, Oregon support 
recreational fishing interests and should benefit from the stable 
groundfish management regime.
    Groundfish are available to marine anglers along the length of 
California's coast, but species composition varies with changing 
temperature and ecological regimes. California recreational fisheries 
have differing effects on groundfish abundance, depending on locally-
available groundfish species and on alternative target non-groundfish 
species. For 2005 and 2006, the Council recommended California 
recreational fisheries measures intended to better tailor management to 
the species composition and angler participation in the different 
sections of California's coast. Off the northern coast, black rockfish 
and lingcod recreational catches have contributed significantly to 
excessive harvest in recent years. California's recreational fisheries 
north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. are proposed to be just four months in 
duration in 2005 and 2006, which may negatively affect charter 
operations and private anglers operating from communities such as 
Crescent City and Eureka. Between 40[deg]10' N. lat. and 36[deg] N. 
lat., recreational fishing is dominated by anglers from the San 
Francisco Bay area. Recreational fishing ports such as Fort Bragg, Noyo 
River, Sausalito, Bodega Bay, Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, and Monterey 
will be open to groundfish fishing for a five month season. Between 
36[deg] N. lat. and 34[deg]27' N. lat., the recreational fisheries tend 
to affect more southern species, such as bocaccio. The fisheries in 
this area will be open for five months, affecting ports such as Morro 
Bay and Avila Beach. California's large southern cities lie south of 
34[deg]27' N. lat., but recreational fisheries in this area tend to 
concentrate on big game fish like tuna. These southern fisheries take 
fewer groundfish, and thus are proposed to be open for seven months per 
year in 2005 and 2006. Recreational fishing ports south of 34[deg]27' 
N. lat. include Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands, Long Beach and 
Los Angeles, Dana Point, and San Diego.
    The treaty tribal fisheries occur off the northern coast of 
Washington State. Neah Bay and Westport, Washington tend to receive the 
bulk of the tribal commercial groundfish landings. In 2005 and 2006, 
the tribal fisheries are expected to benefit from increased lingcod 
harvest levels and stabilized rockfish harvest levels. Treaty fisheries 
for sablefish and halibut catch the same overfished species as northern 
non-tribal hook-and-line fisheries. Thus, canary rockfish will be the 
constraining species for tribal fixed gear and trawl fisheries, with 
yelloweye rockfish protection measures also affecting tribal longline 
fisheries.
    As described earlier in this document, NMFS has rearranged Federal 
groundfish regulations to make them more user-friendly. Groundfish 
regulations are separated by sector, so that there are new regulations 
sections for these sectors: limited entry trawl, limited entry fixed 
gear, open access, recreational, and tribal. NMFS and the Council are 
making efforts to improve their communication with the public and NMFS 
hopes that this reorganization will make its fishery regulations more 
accessible and easier to understand.
    The Council prepared an EIS for this action, which includes a 
discussion of the economic and social effects of these specifications 
and management measures on coastal communities (see ADDRESSES).

[[Page 56572]]

Federal and State Jurisdiction

    The management measures herein, as well as Federal regulations at 
50 CFR part 660, subpart G, govern groundfish fishing vessels of the 
United States in the U.S. EEZ from 3-200 nautical miles offshore of the 
coasts of Washington, Oregon, and California. The States of Washington, 
Oregon, and California retain jurisdiction in state waters from 0-3 
nautical miles offshore. This is true even though boundaries of some 
fishing areas cross between Federal and state waters. Under their own 
legal authorities, the states generally conform their state regulations 
to the Federal management measures, so measures that apply to Federal 
and state waters are the same. This is not true in every case, however, 
and fishers are advised to consult both state and Federal regulations 
if they intend to fish in both state and Federal waters.
    Groundfish stocks are distributed throughout Federal and State 
waters. Therefore, the Federal harvest limits (OYs) include fish taken 
in both Federal and State waters, as do vessel trip limits for 
individual groundfish species. Other Federal management measures 
related to federally-regulated groundfish fishing also apply to 
landings and other shoreside activities in Washington, Oregon and 
California.

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 proposes to 
move gear identification regulations from Sec.  660.310 to Sec.  
660.382, 15 CFR 902.1(b) is proposed to be revised to reference 
correctly the new section resulting from this regulations 
reorganization.

Classification

    These proposed 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 Council prepared a DEIS for this proposed action; a notice of 
availability was published on August 27, 2004 (69 FR 52668). A copy of 
the DEIS is available on the Internet at www.pcouncil.org/nepa/nepatrack.html.
    This proposed rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    Pursuant to Executive Order 13175, this proposed 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 Pacific 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 proposed 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 included in this proposed 
rule.
    The Council prepared an IRFA that describes the impact this 
proposed rule, if adopted, would have on small entities. A description 
of the action, why it is being considered, and the legal basis for this 
action are contained in the preamble to this proposed rule. This 
proposed rule does not duplicate, overlap, or conflict with other 
Federal rules. A copy of this analysis is available from the Council 
(see ADDRESSES). A summary of the analysis follows.
    NMFS is proposing the 2005-2006 specifications and management 
measures 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 (SBA). Of the 732 fish buyers that purchased groundfish 
in 2000, all but 19 purchased less than $2 million worth of total 
harvest, the SBA indicator of a small processing business. 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. NMFS does not have data to determine whether 
these charter businesses may be characterized as ``small businesses.'' 
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 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, 
within Council harvest parameters described earlier in this document; 
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

[[Page 56573]]

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 
DEIS for this action reviewed alternatives for expected increases 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.
    The following collection-of-information requirement has already 
been approved by OMB for U.S. fishing activities:
    a. Approved under 0648-0305 Gear identification requirements, 
estimated at 15 minutes per response (Sec.  660.382).

PART 660--FISHERIES OFF WEST COAST STATES AND IN THE WESTERN 
PACIFIC

    l. The authority citation for part 660 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
    2. In Sec.  660.302, the definition for `` Trawl fishing line,'' is 
removed, the definitions for ``Fishing gear,'' ``Groundfish,'' ``Land 
or landings,'' ``North-South management area,'' and paragraph (3) of 
``Trip limits,'', are revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.302  Definitions.

* * * * *
    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 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.

[[Page 56574]]

    (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.

    Trip limits. * * *
* * * * *
    (3) A weekly trip limit is the maximum amount of a groundfish 
species or species group that may be taken and retained, possessed, or 
landed per vessel in 7 consecutive days, starting at 0001 hours l.t. on 
Sunday and ending at 2400 hours l.t. on Saturday. Weekly trip limits 
may not be accumulated during multiple week trips. If a calendar week 
falls within two different months or two different cumulative limit 
periods, a vessel is not entitled to two separate weekly limits during 
that week.
* * * * *
    3. In Sec.  660.306, paragraphs (a)(6) and (a)(7) are revised and 
(a)(12) is added to read as follows:


Sec.  660.306  Prohibitions.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (6) Take and retain, possess, or land more groundfish than 
specified under Sec. Sec.  660.370 through 660.373 or Sec. Sec.  
660.381 through 660.385, or under an EFP issued under Sec.  660.350 or 
part 600 of this chapter.
    (7) 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, quota, harvest guideline, or OY applied.
* * * * *
    (12) Transfer fish to another vessel at sea 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).
* * * * *


Sec.  660.310  [Removed]

    4. Remove Sec.  660.310.
* * * * *
    5. Section 660.321 is revised 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).
    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

[[Page 56576]]

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.
* * * * *
    8. In Sec.  660.365, paragraph (c) is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.365  Overfished species rebuilding plans.

* * * * *
    (c) Lingcod. The target date for rebuilding the lingcod stock to 
BMSY is 2009. The harvest control rule to be used to rebuild the 
lingcod stock is an annual harvest rate of F=0.17 in the north and 
F=0.15 in the south.
* * * * *
    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 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 
paragraph (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of this section.
    (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

[[Page 56577]]

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.
* * * * *
    (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.
    (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

[[Page 56578]]

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 
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.
    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)

[[Page 56579]]

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.
    (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.
* * * * *
    12. In Sec.  660.373, paragraphs (b)(1)(iii), (b)(3), and (d)(1) 
are added and paragraph (d)(2) is reserved to read as follows:

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (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).

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.
    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 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

[[Page 56581]]

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 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

[[Page 56582]]

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 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:

[[Page 56583]]

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.
    (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 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) 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

[[Page 56584]]

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 ``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

[[Page 56585]]

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.
    (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:

[[Page 56586]]

    (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

    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

[[Page 56588]]

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.
    (a) Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. The Yelloweye Rockfish 
Conservation Area (YRCA) is a C-shaped area off the northern Washington
