Concerning Framework Adjustment 23 

to the Sea Scallop FMP, the Council

consistent with the action and the 

NEFMC’s intent. This item will be 

followed by an update about the 

transition to a new stock assessment 

process for the New England and MidAtlantic regions. The Council’s 

Groundfish Committee will provide 

recommendations and the Council is 

expected to take final action on 

Framework Adjustment 47 to the 

Northeast Multispecies FMP. It also will 

consider recommendations for

The Council will consider approval of 

recommendations for goals and 

objectives for Amendment 6 to the 

Monkfish FMP, an action that may 

include catch shares management 

approaches for the monkfish fishery.

postponed from its last meeting 

requesting that NMFS calculate 

individual contribution factors 

(allocation shares or sector contribution) 

for three historical fishing periods and 

forward that information to permit 

holders. Members will also vote to set 

the spiny dogfish annual catch limit for 

2012 at 44.868 million pounds, the 

annual catch target at 44.737 million 

pounds, the total allowable landings at 

35.740 million pounds, and the 

commercial quota at 35.694 million 

pounds, and to set the trip limit at 4,000 

pounds. These specifications already 

have been approved by the Mid-Atlantic 

Council. The Enforcement Committee 

will bring forward its recommendations 

for changes to gear stowage 

requirements, a letter supporting vessel 

and gear marking, and 

recommendations for hake incidental 

catch limits and skate identification at 

the dock. It also will discuss and may 

comment on the October 5, 2011 

advanced notice of proposed 

rulemaking titled Changes to Vessel 

Replacement and Upgrade Provisions 

for Fishing Vessels Issued Limited 

Access Federal Fishery Permits. Finally, 

the Council will accommodate a NMFS 

scoping hearing about issues relevant to 

the management of sandbar, dusky, and 

blacknose shark, and on a new status 

determination for scalloped 

hammerhead based on recent stock 

assessments for these species.
