50 CFR Part 648 

[RTID 0648–XA843] 

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Summer Flounder Fishery; 

Retroactive Quota Transfer From NC to 

MA 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice; quota transfer. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the 

State of North Carolina is transferring a 

portion of its 2020 commercial summer 

flounder quota to the Commonwealth of 

Massachusetts. This retroactive 

adjustment to the 2020 fishing year 

quota is necessary to comply with the 

Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black Sea 

Bass Fishery Management Plan quota 

transfer provisions. This announcement 

informs the public of the retroactively 

revised 2020 commercial quotas for 

North Carolina and Massachusetts. 

DATES: Effective February 5, 2021, 

through December 31, 2021. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura Hansen, Fishery Management 

Specialist, (978) 281–9225. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations governing the summer 

flounder fishery are found in 50 CFR 

648.100 through 648.110. These 

regulations require annual specification 

of a commercial quota that is 

apportioned among the coastal states 

from Maine through North Carolina. The 

process to set the annual commercial 

quota and the percent allocated to each 

state is described in § 648.102 and final 

2020 allocations were published on 

October 9, 2019 (84 FR 54041). 

The final rule implementing 

Amendment 5 to the Summer Flounder 

Fishery Management Plan (FMP), as 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 17, 1993 (58 FR 65936), 

provided a mechanism for transferring 

summer flounder commercial quota 

from one state to another. Two or more 

states, under mutual agreement and 

with the concurrence of the NMFS 

Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator, 

can transfer or combine summer 

flounder commercial quota under 

§ 648.102(c)(2). The Regional 

Administrator is required to consider 

three criteria in the evaluation of 

requests for quota transfers or 

combinations: The transfer or 

combinations would not preclude the 

overall annual quota from being fully 

harvested; the transfer addresses an 

unforeseen variation or contingency in 

the fishery; and, the transfer is 

consistent with the objectives of the 

FMP and the Magnuson-Stevens Act. 

The Regional Administrator has 

determined these three criteria have 

been met for the transfer approved in 

this notice. 

North Carolina is transferring 9,185 lb 

(4,166 kg) of 2020 summer flounder 

commercial quota to Massachusetts 

through mutual agreement of the states. 

This transfer was requested to repay 

landings made by a North Carolinapermitted vessel in Massachusetts under 

a safe harbor agreement. The revised 

summer flounder quotas for calendar 

year 2020 are: North Carolina, 3,026,316 

lb (1,372,714 kg); and, Massachusetts, 

802,549 lb (364,030 kg). 

Given the timing of the safe harbor 

agreement and the states’ request, we 

were unable to process the transfer 

before the December 31st end of the 

2020 fishing year. The retroactively 

adjusted quotas will be used to calculate 

overages for the 2020 fishing year and 

adjust, as needed, 2021 summer 

flounder quotas. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. 

Dated: February 3, 2021.

Acting Director, Office of Sustainable 

Fisheries, National Marine Fisheries Service.
