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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule implements Amendment 16-4 to the Pacific Coast 
Groundfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and sets the 2007-2008 harvest 
specifications and management measures for groundfish taken in the U.S. 
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) off the coasts of Washington, Oregon, and 
California. Amendment 16-4 modifies the FMP to implement revised 
rebuilding plans for seven overfished species: bocaccio, canary 
rockfish, cowcod, darkblotched rockfish, Pacific ocean perch (POP), 
widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish. Groundfish harvest 
specifications and management measures for 2007-2008 are intended to: 
achieve but not exceed optimum yields (OYs); prevent overfishing; 
rebuild overfished species; reduce and minimize the bycatch and discard 
of overfished and depleted stocks; provide harvest opportunity for the 
recreational and commercial fishing sectors; and, within the commercial 
fisheries, achieve harvest guidelines and limited entry and open access 
allocations for non-overfished species. Together, Amendment 16-4 and 
the 2007-2008 harvest specifications and management measures are 
intended to rebuild overfished stocks as soon as possible, taking into 
account the status and biology of the stocks, the needs of fishing 
communities, and the interaction of the overfished stocks within the 
marine ecosystem. In addition to the management measures implemented 
specifically for the groundfish fisheries, this rule implements a new 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) off Washington State, which 
will be closed to commercial salmon troll fishing to reduce incidental 
mortality of yelloweye rockfish in the salmon troll fishery.

DATES: Effective January 1, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Amendment 16-4 is available on the Pacific Fishery 
Management Council's (Council's) website at: http://www.pcouncil.org/
groundfish/gffmp.html.

    The final rule also is accessible via the Internet at the Office of

Background

    NMFS published a Notice of Availability for Amendment 16-4 on 
September 1, 2006 (71 FR 25051.) On September 29, 2006, NMFS published 
a proposed rule to implement both Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-2008 
groundfish harvest specifications and management measures (71 FR 
57764.) Both the Notice of Availability and the proposed rule requested 
public comments through October 31, 2006. During the comment period, 
NMFS received two letters, one individualized email, and 1,445 form 
emails of comment, which are addressed later in the preamble to this 
final rule. See the preamble to the proposed rule for additional 
background information on the fishery and on this final rule.
    Groundfish harvest specifications are the amounts of West Coast 
groundfish species or species groups available to be caught in a 
particular year. Harvest specifications include acceptable biological 
catches (ABCs), OYs, and HGs, as well as set-asides of harvestable 
amounts of fish for particular fisheries or particular geographic 
areas. The ABC is a biologically based estimate of the amount of fish 
that may be harvested from the fishery each year without affecting the 
sustainability of the resource. The ABC may be modified with 
precautionary adjustments to account for uncertainty. A stock's OY is 
its target harvest level, and is usually lower than its ABC. Harvest 
specifications for 2007-2008 are provided in Tables 1a through 2c of 
this rulemaking.
    Management measures set in this biennial management process are 
intended to constrain the fisheries so that OYs of healthier groundfish 
stocks are achieved within the constraints of requirements to rebuild 
co-occurring overfished groundfish species. To rebuild overfished 
species, allowable harvest levels of healthy species will only be 
achieved where such harvest will not deter rebuilding of overfished 
stocks.
    Amendment 16-4, which this action implements concurrently with the 
2007-2008 groundfish specifications and management measures, modifies 
the FMP with revised rebuilding plans for the seven overfished 
groundfish species bocaccio, canary rockfish, cowcod, darkblotched 
rockfish, POP, widow rockfish, and yelloweye rockfish consistent with 
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act) and Natural Resources Defense Council v. NMFS, 421 F.3d 
872 (9th Cir. 2005) [hereinafter NRDC v. NMFS,] as detailed in the 
preamble to the proposed rule for this action and in response to 
comments received, below.
    After considering all comments received on Amendment 16-4, the 
draft environmental impact statement (DEIS,) and the proposed rule, 
NMFS partially approved Amendment 16-4 on November 30, 2006. NMFS 
approved all of the Council's Amendment 16-4 recommended revisions to 
the FMP except for one recommended for Chapter 4.0, ``Preventing 
Overfishing and Achieving Optimum Yield.'' The Council had recommended 
adding a sentence to the introductory text to that chapter to read, 
``The Council may establish a research reserve for any stock, [sic] 
that is within the ABC but above and separate from the OY for that 
stock.'' This recommendation conflicts with NMFS's National Standard 
Guidelines at 50 CFR 600.310(f)(4)(iii), which state that ``All fishing 
mortality must be counted against OY, including that resulting from 
bycatch, scientific research, and any other fishing activities.'' For 
2007 and 2008, expected scientific research catch has been deducted 
from the OYs of overfished species, although those amounts may be 
adjusted inseason as new information on inseason scientific activities 
becomes available. For species that are not managed via overfished 
species rebuilding plans, scientific research will be deducted from OYs 
inseason, as information on inseason scientific activities becomes 
available.

Comments and Responses

    During the comment period for Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-2008 
harvest specifications and management measures, NMFS received two 
letters of comment and 1,446 emails of comment.

[[Page 78639]]

 One letter was sent by a member of the public who conducts marine 
scientific research for the University of California, Santa Barbara; 
the other letter was sent jointly by three environmental advocacy 
organizations (Natural Resources Defense Council, Oceana, and The Ocean 
Conservancy; hereinafter, ``The Three Organizations.'') Of the 1,446 
emails received from members of the public, one email was original and 
clearly different from all of the other emails. The remaining 1,445 
emails were form emails from members of the public who repeated the 
same title and text in their email messages. Some senders of the form 
email added personalized, but non-substantive, pleas or threats to the 
repeated text. NMFS also received two letters from the Council, 
summarizing discussions it held at its September and November 2006 
meetings on limited refinements to its 2007-2008 groundfish 
specifications and management measures recommendations. These 
recommendations were either based on scientific information received 
after the June 2006 Council meeting, or a correction to a numerical 
mistake. The Council's recommended changes are discussed below in the 
section on Changes from the Proposed Rule. Comments received on the 
proposed rule are addressed here:
    Comment 1: The Three Organizations state that NMFS's legal and 
long-term obligation with an overfished species is to rebuild as 
quickly as possible. They further state that the only thing that the 
court order from Natural Resources Defense Council v. NMFS, 421 F.3d 
872 (9th Cir. 2005) [hereinafter NRDC v. NMFS] allows NMFS to do in 
taking the short-term needs of fishing communities into account is to 
merely avoid disastrous short-term consequences for those communities. 
The Three Organizations provide their interpretation of ``disastrous 
consequences'' for a groundfish fishing community that annual revenue 
reductions from 2005/2006 to 2007/2008 should exceed 60 percent before 
those reductions result in disastrous consequences. They then express 
the belief that a 40 percent reduction in exvessel revenue from 2005 is 
not disastrous enough, and too far from the Court's example of a 100 
percent reduction in revenue.
    Response: NMFS's legal and long-term obligation with overfished 
species is to rebuild those species as quickly as possible, taking into 
account the status and biology of those stocks, the needs of fishing 
communities, and the interactions of those stocks within the marine 
ecosystem. Stating that the obligation is simply to rebuild as quickly 
as possible mis-characterizes the Magnuson-Stevens Act's requirement to 
manage fish stocks so that management measures rebuild those stocks 
while also taking into account the needs of fishing communities that 
depend on those stocks. In NRDC v. NMFS, the court interpreted the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act as showing Congress' intent that overfished 
species be rebuilt as quickly as possible (taking into account the 
status and biology of the fish stocks and the needs of fishing 
communities), but leaving ``some leeway to avoid disastrous short-term 
consequences for fishing communities.'' NMFS and the Council applied 
the court's direction in developing the EIS for this action and 
Amendment 16-4 by first identifying, and then giving careful 
consideration to the short-term needs of fishing communities, 
particularly: the vulnerability of different fishing communities to 
reductions in available harvest; the resilience of different fishing 
communities to reductions in available harvest; the resilience of 
different fishing communities to changes in community groundfish 
fishing revenues; the effects that recent past harvest levels have had 
on fishing communities; and, the need for management flexibility to 
avoid disastrous immediate consequences from inseason management 
measures adjustments.
    The statutory standard requires that NMFS take into account the 
needs of fishing communities. It does not require that there be a 
disaster (however defined) prior to making community adjustments. The 
9th Circuit's use of the term ``disastrous'' was not meant to redefine 
the provisions of 304(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act or import 
``disaster'' language from other portions of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 
or other statutes into the 304(e) process. Nevertheless, because the 
comment focuses on the question of whether Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-
2008 groundfish specifications and management measures are ``disastrous 
enough,'' the remainder of this response will address how NMFS and the 
Council considered the issue of taking short-term fishery impacts into 
account along with other relevant considerations, and how the 60 
percent reduction recommended by The Three Organizations fits within 
Federal disaster determinations, which they suggest is appropriate and 
within the agency's considerations under the rebuilding provisions of 
the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
    The two authorities that the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) can 
use for declaring fisheries-related disasters are the 
Interjurisdictional Fisheries Management Act (IJA) and Section 312(a) 
of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Neither the IJA nor the Magnuson-Stevens 
Act specifies a requirement that a negative economic impact of at least 
60 percent, as suggested by The Three Organizations, is needed to 
trigger a disaster declaration by the Secretary. (We note that The 
Three Organizations acknowledge that the meaning of disaster in the 
context of Section 312(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act is distinct from 
``disastrous economic impacts'' in the context of the 9th Circuit 
decision.) In fact, there are no formal quantitative definitions of 
what is a sufficient level of annual economic impact required for 
declaring a disaster under either Act. NMFS disagrees with The Three 
Organizations' suggested rule of thumb of a 60 percent decline for a 
disaster declaration. Many of the disasters that The Three 
Organizations noted as supporting their 60-percent-decline assumption 
were declared on the basis of hurricanes and red tides, which resulted 
in complete (100 percent) fisheries closures, biasing their 
calculations of averages upward. Over the years, the Secretary's 
disaster declaration decisions have been made case-by-case, based on 
specific facts surrounding the decline of the fishery in question, and 
on the requests for disaster that are typically submitted by governors 
of affected states. The decisions and associated analyses differ with 
respect to the legal authorities underlying the decision (IJA, 
Magnuson-Stevens Act, or both), the nature of the fishery (e.g., 
salmon, groundfish, shrimp, lobster, crab), the cause of the disaster 
(hurricane, red tide, flooding, confluence of long term and short term 
environmental factors such as El Nino's and droughts), duration (multi 
year, single year) and available information. Therefore, The Three 
Organizations' use of a simple average percentage impact obscures large 
differences between widely varying disaster situations and declaration 
decisions.
    A review of past disaster declaration decisions shows that the 
Secretary looks at not only percentage declines in economic activities 
from various short- and long-term benchmarks, but also at absolute 
levels of impact and other factors as well. Typically, the Secretary 
will have before him the recommendations of the governors of affected 
states and any supporting analyses provided by the Governors, a 
biological assessment that shows the

[[Page 78640]]

dimensions of the fishery resource disaster, and an economic assessment 
that shows the existence and extent of the commercial fishery failure. 
These assessments also typically provide long-and short-term trends and 
an economic forecast of immediate and future impacts. In the case of 
the 2000 West Coast Groundfish Disaster Decision, the Secretary had a 
graph similar to that of Figure 2-13 of the DEIS, which shows trends in 
ex-vessel revenues with and without whiting harvested by at-sea 
processors. This figure, updated since 2000, also shows that the 
fishery has been held to below-disaster revenue levels since the 
Secretary's 2000 disaster declaration, despite the increasing biomasses 
of overfished and other groundfish species.
    In referring to the NOAA Decision Memo that underlies the 
Secretary's 2000 West Coast Groundfish Disaster Declaration, The Three 
Organizations state that ``In 2000, landings were projected to fall 
more than 60 percent below their median annual landings for a 1981-1999 
period when a fishery resource disaster was declared.'' This reference 
does not provide the full context of the decision. In discussing the 
fishery resource disaster and associated commercial fishery failure, 
the NOAA memo had the following key paragraphs that show several time-
related perspectives that were considered in the disaster declaration, 
and also supports the characterization of the current fishery as still 
in a disaster situation:
    ``For the year 2000 we are reducing the OYs for groundfish other 
than whiting to a combined level of 34,000 tons which if completely 
harvested will yield the lowest level of landings produced by this 
fishery since the MSFCMA was passed. However, we expect groundfish 
landings to be even lower than this total because we are also 
implementing new management measures to protect and rebuild 
depressed stocks that are within the 83+ species that make up the 
Pacific groundfish fishery. These management measures may result in 
the inability to attain the OY or allocation for some relatively 
healthy co-occurring stocks, particularly bottom-dwelling rockfish 
on the continental shelf, whose harvest is restricted because it may 
result in bycatch of depressed stocks. Consequently, OYs (and their 
associated allocations to harvest groups) may not be completely 
harvested. We cannot estimate how much of the OYs will not be 
harvested. If 20 percent of the combined OYs cannot be harvested 
because of these restrictions, the projected 2000 harvest would be 
27,000 tons---a 25 percent decrease from 1999 levels. Some industry 
projections indicate that possibly 40 percent of the OYs may not be 
harvested because of the gear, trip, and area regulations being 
imposed. For purposes of this analysis we will assume 20 percent of 
the OYs will not be harvested.
    What do these trends say about the degree of the fishery 
resource disaster? Statistically, for the period 1981 through 1999, 
median annual landings and average annual landings are both about 
74,000 tons. (This estimate is not that different from the sum of 
the long term yield for economically important species and estimates 
of recent catches for economically unimportant species.) Since 1993, 
landings have fallen below 70,000 tons with a 20 percent reduction 
in landings between 1997 and 1998, a 14 percent reduction between 
1998 and 1999, and a potential of a 25 percent reduction between 
1999 and 2000. Landings are projected to fall to 27,000 tons in the 
year 2000, more than 60 percent below median annual landings for the 
1981-1999 period. (Emphasis added here, because this is the sentence 
quoted by The Three Organizations in their letter of comment.)
    These trends reflect the general decline in groundfish 
resources, but these trends make it difficult to pinpoint when these 
declines reached a stage where a disaster situation has set in. Is 
the first year of the disaster 1998, 1999, or 2000? Perhaps most 
illustrative of such a situation are the sharp reductions in the OYs 
for the recently declared overfished species lingcod, Pacific ocean 
perch, bocaccio, canary rockfish and cowcod whose OYs are reduced 
from their 1999 OY and catch levels from about 50 percent (bocaccio) 
to about 90 percent for cowcod. It is these reductions and their 
effects on other fisheries that led the Governors to request a 
disaster declaration.
    Based on these sharp declines and the trend in non-whiting 
groundfish landings since 1993, we believe that the fishery is 
currently experiencing a fishery resource disaster which may also 
have occurred in 1999 and probably originated before 1999. Because 
current and future species rebuilding plans involve long-lived 
rockfish that take decades to recover, we expect the fishery 
resource disaster to continue for a number of years. (Emphasis 
added, since this sentence shows that the Agency projected a 
continuing disaster beyond the year 2000.)
    Using 1999 as a benchmark for assessing the amount of the 
commercial fishery failure and assuming that ex-vessel prices in the 
year 2000 are the same as those seen in 1999, the projected 
commercial harvest value for the year 2000 is about $33 million 25 
percent less than actual 1999 revenues of $44 million. 
Alternatively, using an average ex-vessel price based on 1991-1994 
period for both the years 1999 and 2000, leads to projected estimate 
of $26 million for the year 2000 as compared to $35 million estimate 
for 1999. Therefore, the resulting estimates of the commercial 
fishery failure range from $9 million to $11 million. Previous 
estimates have typically ranged from $3 million to $15 million on an 
ex-vessel basis. The $3 million estimate assumed that all the OYs 
would be harvested while the other estimates were based on 
preliminary Council recommended OYs or perhaps had different 
benchmark years. This analysis assumes that 20 percent of the OYs 
will not be harvested as a result of management measures.''
    In their comment letter, The Three Organizations refer to a recent 
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) decision where a governor's 
disaster request for West Coast salmon was denied under the Robert T. 
Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 
even though there was an 85 percent decrease in ex-vessel revenues 
below the 2001-2005 average.
    For Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-2008 groundfish harvest 
specifications and management measures, in order to provide contextual 
background information, NMFS presented the Council with information on 
how different Federal agencies such as FEMA, the United States 
Department of Agriculture (USDA,) and the Small Business Administration 
(SBA) analyze disasters. For example, the USDA defines severe 
production losses in a county as a reduction countywide of at least 30 
percent, while the SBA will make a declaration of a physical disaster 
when at least three businesses have uninsured losses of 40 percent or 
more of their estimated fair replacement value. Therefore, given that 
different Agencies have different mandates, programs, criteria and 
processes for determining disaster situations, it is reasonable to 
expect situations where one agency like FEMA will deny a request for a 
disaster declaration under the Stafford Act, while another Agency such 
as NOAA will declare one under the Magnuson-Stevens Act or IJA. 
Further, NMFS reiterates, as stated above, that a ``diaster'' 
declaration is not the criterion in developing rebuilding plans under 
section 304(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
    Comment 2: The Three Organizations state that the DEIS used a one-
year comparison to measure the economic impact of the alternatives, and 
suggest instead that a five-year ex-vessel revenue average from 2001-
2005 would be more statistically appropriate, saying that using such an 
average shows lower impacts from the three Action Alternatives 
considered in the DEIS.
    Response: We disagree from several perspectives. First, the FEIS 
does compare effects of the alternatives on commercial fisheries 
between 2005, status quo management, and the three action alternatives 
(summarized in Tables 7-62a-c, 7-63a-c, and 7-64a-b,) and the central 
recreational analytical tables also show similar comparisons but 
include estimates for 2004 (summarized in Tables 7-65a-b, 7-66a-b, 7-
67a-c, and 7-68a-e.) The analyses within the FEIS are also replete with 
background tables and charts that show historical trends in revenues, 
landings, and other socioeconomic variables allowing the Council and 
NOAA the

[[Page 78641]]

ability to compare these projections to past trends. Second, the use of 
a recent five-year average does not capture the information associated 
with long term trends, which shows that for the past five years the 
fishery has operated at its lowest historical levels, especially when 
whiting is excluded from the analysis. (Whiting is a highly variable 
fishery where much of the whiting is harvested by catcher-processors 
and motherships whose activities are not necessarily linked to a 
coastal community.) Finally, based on these trends, NMFS and the 
Council believe that communities have been operating at groundfish 
revenue levels far below those occurring when the Secretary declared a 
fishery disaster in 2000. Because the fishery has been operating at 
below-disaster levels in recent years, any further significant decrease 
will have additional disastrous effects.
    Comment 3: The Three Organizations state that they believe that 
NRDC v. NMFS requires prioritization of overfished species rebuilding 
unless there are disastrous short-term consequences. They believe that 
the proposed rule impermissibly prioritizes economic interests for both 
yelloweye rockfish management, and for the suite of options implemented 
by this action. They believe that this action appears to prioritize 
preventing adverse short-term economic impacts and even increasing 
short-term revenues over rebuilding as quickly as possible.
    Response: This action is consistent with NMFS's policy of placing 
its highest priority on rebuilding overfished species, and modifying 
harvest levels to accommodate incidental catch of those species only 
where eliminating that incidental catch would have disastrous effects 
on fishing communities. The Three Organizations presented a similar 
comment to the DEIS for this action; the response to that comment is 
excerpted here. The Three Organizations assert that: ``disastrous 
short-term consequences for fishing communities are illustrated by a 
total moratorium on all fishing due to an absolute ban on any bycatch 
of overfished species.'' NMFS disagrees that ``short-term disastrous 
consequences'' can only occur if there is a total ban of fishing for 
overfished species, or in other words, only if OYs are set to zero. We 
also disagree that ``disastrous short term economic consequences'' is 
the legal test under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Significant consequences 
to fishing communities can occur at OY levels that are so low that 
allowed economic activity levels are insufficient to maintain the basic 
community infrastructure during the time of rebuilding. NMFS provided a 
discussion of the terms ``disaster'' and ``disastrous'' in its response 
to Comment 1, above.
    NMFS also disagrees that the rebuilding plan gives priority to 
economic interests over rebuilding. This action focuses on rebuilding 
overfished species in as short a time as possible, while taking into 
account the status and biology of those species and the needs of 
fishing communities. In taking into account the needs of fishing 
communities, this action recognizes that fishing communities have, for 
a number of years, already seen their economic activities curtailed in 
order to rebuild overfished species. The EIS for this action provides 
information and analyses on individual community impacts and broader 
coastwide fishery impacts of groundfish fishery management focused on 
rebuilding overfished species. The analyses within the EIS also 
identify classes of communities according to attributes of fishery 
dependence, resilience, and vulnerability. In comparing these community 
attributes to amounts of overfished species, target groundfish species 
and other target species (crab, shrimp, etc.) associated with these 
communities, NMFS found that there were few regions on the West Coast 
without a highly dependent or vulnerable groundfish fishing community.
    As stated in FEIS at Section 8.3 (Rationale for Preferred 
Alternative), the key decision evaluated in the EIS for this action is 
the adoption of rebuilding plans for depleted species and adoption of 
associated OYs and management measures for the 2007 08 management 
period. The evaluation of the alternatives considered rebuilding in as 
short a time as possible, while also taking into account both the 
status and biology of overfished stocks and the needs of fishing 
communities. From a strictly biological perspective, rebuilding in a 
time period as short as possible equates to rebuilding in the absence 
of fishing. To address the absence-of- fishing scenario in the EIS, OY 
Alternative 1 provides OYs of 0 mt for all depleted species. This 
absence-of-fishing alternative would cause the least adverse impacts to 
the biological and physical environment and would rebuild the species 
in as quickly as possible. However, it would also have significant 
adverse short-term economic consequences on fishing communities because 
it would result in the complete closure of all groundfish fisheries and 
a range of non-groundfish fisheries, having serious, or, in the words 
of the court ``disastrous consequences'' to fishing communities. In 
contrast, the Council-preferred alternative was developed to fully 
address the requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens Act at section 
304(e)(4)(A) and National Standard 8 (section 301(a)(8).
    The Council preferred alternative for the yelloweye rockfish OY is 
based on a strategy that ``ramps down'' catch levels from current 
amounts in order to give managers and industry time to adapt and 
develop more refined tools for decreasing the catch of yelloweye 
rockfish while allowing some small access to healthier co-occurring 
target species. The ramp-down approach is expected to avoid some 
disastrous short-term economic consequences and still rebuild the stock 
as quickly as possible. An immediate reduction in the yelloweye OY to 
12.6 mt could be expected to result in substantial and adverse economic 
impacts. As detailed in the FEIS and in comments submitted by the Makah 
Tribe, those impacts would be heavily centered on some of the most 
vulnerable communities (rural coastal communities in Oregon and 
Washington); the Council and NMFS concluded that shifting from current 
yelloweye rockfish OY levels of 27 mt to levels of 12.6 mt or less next 
year would significantly impact those fishing communities, including 
Neah Bay, Washington. As shown in the FEIS, and explained in the FEIS 
comment response on yelloweye rockfish management in section 13.2, 
these coastal communities in Oregon and Washington are heavily 
dependent on recreational fisheries, and any further reductions in the 
yelloweye OY would require further restrictions on the recreational 
fisheries, particularly those for halibut and groundfish. Additionally, 
as the Makah Tribe commented to NMFS, coastal tribal communities are 
dependent on the fisheries income from and infrastructure supporting 
non-tribal recreational fishing businesses. This lack of economic 
diversification and resiliency from negative economic impacts make them 
particularly vulnerable to severe groundfish fishery management 
measures.
    Comment 4: The Three Organizations state that they believe that the 
EIS's fishing community vulnerability analysis is defective because it 
analyzes the economic resilience and vulnerability of fishing 
communities, rather than also looking at the potential vulnerability of 
port communities that do not have fishing industries or interests to 
groundfish rebuilding measures. The Three Organizations also believe 
that the vulnerability analysis does not take into account the

[[Page 78642]]

alternative income stream available to fishing communities from fishing 
opportunities for species other than groundfish.
    Response: Taking into consideration The Three Organizations' 
assertions and other comments raised, NMFS continues to conclude that 
the economic analyses used in the FEIS for this action constitute the 
best available science on the socio-economic effects of rebuilding 
overfished groundfish species. NOAA's ``Guidelines for Economic 
Analysis of Fishery Management Actions'' (NOAA Office of Sustainable 
Fisheries 2000) do not prescribe particular methods and do not require 
the use of quantitative analyses. Rather, the Guidelines identify 
analytical elements that should be addressed and identify the scope of 
analysis required under applicable law. Recognizing the fact that there 
may be a lack of data and the complexity associated with developing 
economic models such as dynamic econometric models, the Guidelines 
state that: ``Embodied in these guidelines is the principle that a well 
developed qualitative analysis may be preferable to a poorly specified 
complex analytical model.'' There are no econometric studies available 
for use in addressing the central theme of the EIS: rebuilding 
overfished species in the shortest time possible, taking into account 
the status and biology of the species and the needs of fishing 
communities by considering the impacts of allowing some access to 
healthy fish stocks in order to avoid disastrous consequences to 
fishing communities.
    For purposes of assessing the needs of fishing communities, the 
Council adopted the following general definition at its April 2006 
meeting: ``Fishing Communities need a sustainable fishery that is safe, 
well managed, and profitable, that provides jobs and incomes, that 
contributes to the local social fabric, culture, and image of the 
community, and helps market the community and its services and 
products.''
    As discussed in the proposed rule for this action, the EIS 
describes the socioeconomic environment, provides economic impact 
projections of the alternatives, and classifies fishing communities in 
terms of their ability to withstand short-term negative consequences 
that could result from declines in annual groundfish revenue or 
recreational expenditures. Although the ``needs'' of fishing 
communities cannot be quantified because of the lack of data and 
models, available fisheries and economic demographic information on 
communities can be used to develop indicators of community engagement 
in fisheries, dependence on groundfish, and community resiliency. These 
indicators were combined to classify those communities or associated 
counties as either ``vulnerable'' or ``most vulnerable'' to changes in 
management measures. A community or county is considered ``vulnerable'' 
or ``most vulnerable'' to changes in fishery management measures if in 
comparison to other communities or counties, it is more engaged in 
fishing, more dependent on groundfish, and least resilient to negative 
socioeconomic impacts. As explained in the EIS and in the proposed rule 
for this action, a series of fishery-related indicators (e.g., number 
of fishery permits, number of commercial fishing vessels, number of 
party and charter trips, etc.) were associated with a series of non-
fishery related indicators (e.g., unemployment rates, percent of 
population below the poverty level, population density, etc.). As 
listed in Tables A-4-7 and A-4-8, of Appendix A to the FEIS, 
information on 135 communities and 78 counties was analyzed, of which 
38 cities and 18 counties were identified as commercial and/or 
recreational vulnerable areas. To qualify as a vulnerable area, a 
community or county had to be listed in the top one-third of ranked 
indicator values for at least one engagement or dependency indicator 
and one resiliency indicator. Under stricter ranking requirements, (a 
community had to be ranked in the top one-third of an indicator twice 
under engagement and/or dependence and resilience), 17 cities and 15 
counties qualify as vulnerable. When even stricter requirements were 
applied (a community had to be ranked in the top one-third of an 
indicator three times under engagement and/or dependence and resilience 
variables), four cities and six counties were identified as vulnerable 
and received the label of ``most vulnerable.'' The most vulnerable 
cities are: Garibaldi, OR; Ilwaco, WA; Moss Landing, CA; and Neah Bay, 
WA. The most vulnerable counties are: Coos, OR; Grays Harbor, WA; 
Humboldt, CA; Lincoln, OR; Medocino, CA; and Pacific, WA.
    The analysis developed for this decision is the first of its type 
for analyzing U.S. fishing communities. It borrows heavily from socio-
economic analysis methodologies employed elsewhere, such as the 
methodology the U.S. Forest Service uses to establish ``counties of 
concern'' or what state employment agencies, such as in Oregon, use to 
establish ``distressed'' counties. The Three Organizations incorrectly 
state in their letter that: ``Such methodology guarantees that the 
analysis will find vulnerable areas, whether they exist or not as 
compared with the general population of cities.'' The West Coast 
groundfish community analysis includes major West Coast cities, such as 
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego. (Los Angeles 
County, for example, scores high in areas of commercial fishing and 
recreational fishery engagement and dependency.) If the purpose of this 
comment from The Three Organizations is to suggest that NMFS establish 
some non-fishing community based standard or threshold to be applied to 
fishing communities, a review of available literature indicates that 
there is no such standard. The typical approach of almost every major 
study summarized in the literature review discussed in Appendix A to 
the FEIS was to select indicators, then rank communities or counties, 
and then apply differing levels of ranking requirements to see what 
communities or counties ranked the highest or lowest and could be 
inferred to be the ``most vulnerable,'' ``least resilient,'' or 
whatever socio-economic characteristic the analysts were focusing on. 
The EIS for this action follows this standard methodology, as described 
above, providing the appropriate analysis and background for the 
determining the shortest rebuilding periods possible, while taking into 
account the needs of fishing communities so as to avoid disastrous 
short-term consequences of management to those communities. In doing 
so, the fishing community analysis follows the directives of the 
Magnuson-Stevens Act by showing which communities are the most 
vulnerable, or in other words, in the most need.
    The main factor constraining the ability to improve economic 
modeling of the fishery and its linkages (e.g., time-series regression 
analyses, estimation of resource efficiency and productivity, 
application of non-static models, etc.) with the rest of the economy is 
the absence of annual observations of employment, and cost and earnings 
data for vessels and processors. As acknowledged by The Three 
Organizations, improved modeling requires data from fishermen and 
companies regarding their purchases of capital and labor and the 
selling of fish in addition to demographic information such as age, 
education level and job experience. Such data are not currently 
available. Further, even if such data were available, econometric 
studies, particularly dynamic econometric studies, are not easily 
undertaken as such modeling requires knowledge of

[[Page 78643]]

the fishing industry and fish populations, advanced expertise in 
econometric theory and methodologies, and the ability to translate 
complex relationships into representative and statistically valid 
functions. Currently the groundfish industry cost and earnings profiles 
used within the Fishery Economic Assessment (FEAM) model are based on a 
year 2000 snapshot of the West Coast fishery (The FEAM model is a 
regional impact model that the Council and NMFS use to project the 
amount of income and number of jobs associated with each alternative.) 
Since 2000, among other things, the fishery has seen a significant 
increase in the cost of fuel. The EIS addresses this issue 
qualitatively in its discussion of the results, where appropriate.
    Finally, in their letter of comment, The Three Organizations 
critique other aspects of the socio-economic analysis and assert that 
the input/output modeling is misleading and that analysis based on 
static data is an inferior method when compared with dynamic modeling. 
Citing a 1994 New York Times article addressing spotted owl issues 
where an Oregon community had replaced lost timber jobs with high 
technology jobs, The Three Organizations posit: ``Even if fishing 
activity is reduced, ports could thrive as many extractions industry 
sites have once the extraction slows.'' Although some communities may 
have found a way to rebound from downturns associated with declining 
timber revenues associated with spotted owl protection, many have not. 
In 2005, the Federal government's interagency Regional Ecosystem Office 
(REO) to support the Northwest Forest Plan found that many communities 
that formerly had close association with the timber industry are not 
thriving 10 years following the implementation of that plan (See: 
http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/publications/gtr649/pnw-gtr649--vol1.pdf.) Two 
key findings by the REO counter the assertion by The Three 
Organizations that fishing communities may thrive even if fishing is 
reduced. The first is that, for communities within five miles of 
federal forest lands, 40 percent had a decrease in socio-economic well-
being (SEWB) between 1990 and 2000, 37 percent had an increase in SEWB, 
and 23 percent showed little change. Our interpretation of this finding 
is that two thirds of the forest communities are no better off or may 
be worse off then they were before spotted owl recovery programs went 
into place. The second key finding is that the Northwest Economic 
Adjustment Initiative, the major program for providing assistance to 
logging communities, was a mixed success since it did not create jobs 
in the quantity and quality of jobs lost. (See ``Northwest Forest Plan, 
the First Ten Years Socio-economic Monitoring Key Results'' by Susan 
Charnley, U.S. Forest Service, PNW Stations (http://www.reo.gov/
monitoring/10yr-report/social-economic/powerpoints.html).
    The Three Organizations also suggest that the vulnerability 
analysis should account for the ability of fishermen to enter other 
fisheries. While there may be minor opportunities to fish for species 
such as halibut, sandbass, and barracuda, almost all West Coast 
fisheries are fully subscribed and many suffer from overcapacity, which 
makes them inappropriate for absorbing any new entrants who might be 
displaced from the groundfish fishery. Adding an indicator to the 
vulnerability analysis to reflect alternative fishing opportunities 
does not seem a useful exercise, given that there are few such 
opportunities available. With respect to the examples of halibut and 
sandbass, California's Master Plan, A Guide for the Development of 
Fishery Management Plans, support NMFS's conclusion that West Coast 
fisheries are either sufficiently or overcapitalized and that 
additional effort in these fisheries is not desirable. (See http://
www.dfg.ca.gov/MRD/masterplan/index.html, especially Chapter 3.) 
Therefore, if groundfish fishermen were to enter or step up effort in 
alternative fisheries, other fishermen would see their production 
decline. Consequently, in terms of the effects of this action on 
communities, there would be no change in the amount of fishing income 
generated.
    Comment 5: The form emails stated that scientists recommended 
lowering catch levels for yelloweye rockfish. Senders of the form 
emails also believe that the Council recommended increasing yelloweye 
rockfish catch limits above levels recommended by scientists. The Three 
Organizations state that the yelloweye rockfish ramp-down rebuilding 
strategy is too liberal and risky given the depressed condition of the 
species. The Three Organizations believe that the yelloweye rockfish OY 
should be lower, and that new yelloweye rockfish management measures 
should be implemented now, prior to conducting research to determine 
what management measures may be effective beyond the current measures 
to close multiple YRCAs, rockfish conservation areas (RCAs,) and 
setting commercial trip limits and recreational bag limits and seasons 
to constrain the catch of species that co-occur with yelloweye 
rockfish. The Three Organizations also state that neither the DEIS nor 
the proposed rule commit to any plan to gather data on additional 
yelloweye rockfish rebuilding measures.
    Response: The 2006 yelloweye rockfish rebuilding analysis had 
calculated that a 12.6 mt yelloweye rockfish OY would be needed to 
achieve an 80 percent probability of rebuilding the stock to its 
B<INF>MSY</INF> level by 2096 (``B<INF>MSY</INF>'' means the biomass 
level at which the stock is estimated to be able to produce its maximum 
sustainable yield on a continuing basis; the FMP uses a default proxy 
for groundfish B<INF>MSY</INF> of B<INF>40</INF>.) This final rule 
implements a 2007 yelloweye rockfish OY of 23 mt and a 2008 OY of 20 
mt, lowered from the 2006 OY of 27 mt, in an OY ramp-down strategy 
described in the preamble to the proposed rule for this action. 
Yelloweye rockfish OYs in 2009 and 2010 would be further reduced, 
ultimately reaching 13.5 mt in 2011. Beginning in 2011, the yelloweye 
rockfish rebuilding plan would revert to a constant harvest rate of F = 
0.0101 through to the rebuilt date of 2083.5. By contrast, an initial 
2007 OY based on this harvest rate would result in an OY of 12.6 mt and 
a rebuilt date of 2083. The OY ramp-down strategy provides time to 
collect much-needed additional data that could better inform new 
management measures for greater yelloweye rockfish protection, and 
reduces the immediate adverse impacts to fishing communities while 
altering the rebuilding period by less than one year.
    Several management tools are being studied with the intention of 
reducing impacts to yelloweye rockfish. In addition to the NMFS 
continental shelf/slope trawl survey, the states have several new 
research programs already underway or under development for 2007-2008. 
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is conducting 
cooperative research with the International Pacific Halibut Commission 
(IPHC) to enhance the IPHC's annual hook-and-line survey to incorporate 
additional survey stations within un-trawlable habitat areas to collect 
additional information on yelloweye (distribution, abundance, and 
biological samples). WDFW added 25 new survey stations in 2006 and 
plans to continue the enhanced survey in 2007 and beyond, contingent 
upon funding. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) would 
add survey stations off the Oregon coast in 2008, contingent upon 
funding.
    WDFW is also conducting cooperative rockfish habitat video research 
with the

[[Page 78644]]

Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary to characterize and map 
distribution of yelloweye and other rockfish habitat. Working with the 
recreational fishing industry, WDFW is collecting recreational vessel 
logbook catch and length data on rockfish that charter vessel anglers 
catch and release. This data collection research, and the cooperative 
IPHC survey could lead to new YRCAs for 2009 and beyond, or to 
modifications to existing closed areas to reflect improved and more 
recent information on yelloweye habitat sites.
    ODFW has been using acoustic telemetry (data-recording fish tags) 
to assess discard survival and movements of yelloweye rockfish. In 
connection with this data collection, ODFW is studying rockfish 
behavior following hook-and-line capture, recompression of air 
bladders, and release. ODFW is also studying recreational gear 
modification to determine whether the height of the baited hooks above 
the ocean floor has an effect on which species are captured by the 
hooks. This last study could result in gear modification requirements 
that would reduce the potential for recreational gear to incidentally 
catch yelloweye rockfish.
    Comment 6: The Three Organizations state that the ramp-down 
rebuilding strategy extends the yelloweye rockfish rebuilding time 38 
years beyond T<INF>MIN</INF> (the time it would take to rebuild if all 
sources of fishing mortality had been when the rebuilding plan was 
first implemented in 2003). They also note that an OY of 12.6 mt 
extends the yelloweye rockfish rebuilding time 37 years beyond 
T<INF>F=0</INF>. [NMFS note: the rebuilt date for yelloweye rockfish is 
2084, 36 years beyond T<INF>F=0</INF>, which is 2048.] They conclude 
that because the rebuilding periods in both of these cases are more 
than 33 years beyond T<INF>F=0</INF>, those periods are therefore not 
as short as possible in accordance with NRDC v. NMFS. The Three 
Organization then state that the National Environmental Policy Act 
requires NMFS to consider yelloweye rockfish harvest level alternatives 
between 0 and 12 mt, and rebuilding period end dates between 2048 and 
2078, before taking final action.
    Response: In NRDC v. NMFS, the court rejected NMFS's 2002 
darkblotched rockfish rebuilding period, saying that the Magnuson-
Stevens Act direction to rebuild darkblotched rockfish as quickly as 
possible, taking into account the status and biology of the stock and 
the needs of fishing communities, could not be reconciled with a 
rebuilding period ``20 to 33 years longer than the biologically 
shortest possible rebuilding period (and that increases the annual take 
in the meanwhile).'' In response, NMFS notes that there are numerous 
differences between the darkblotched rebuilding plan addressed in NRDC 
v. NMFS, and the yelloweye rebuilding period.
    First, darkblotched rockfish is continental slope species almost 
exclusively taken in slope trawl fisheries, whereas yelloweye rockfish 
is a continental shelf species almost exclusively taken with hook-and-
line gear. The two species have different life histories and habitat 
preferences, different rebuilding trajectories and current levels of 
abundance, and different fishing communities that rely on fishing 
opportunities for groundfish species they co-occur with. The yelloweye 
rockfish OY ramp-down strategy would extend the yelloweye rebuilding 
period for 36 years beyond TF=0. The Three Organizations are incorrect, 
however, in assuming that because 36 years is greater than the 33 years 
the court rejected for darkblotched rockfish, the yelloweye rockfish 
rebuilding period should also be rejected. Such an assumption fails to 
take into account both the status and biology of yelloweye rockfish and 
the needs of fishing communities that depend on yelloweye rockfish.
    NMFS and the Council did analyze a reasonable range of 
alternatives, as required by NEPA, ranging from a zero-harvest 
alternative, 12 mt alternative, a 12.6 mt alternative, and the ramp-
down strategy adopted in Amendment 16-4. Wholesale closures of major 
portions of the groundfish fishery would have been necessary to achieve 
catch levels at or below 12 mt, and these closures would most likely 
have been in regions and communities that are least adaptable and least 
resilient (see response to Comment 3, above). For example, yelloweye 
rockfish catch occurs primarily off the coasts of Washington and 
Oregon. These coastal communities generally have high unemployment 
levels, low average wage levels, little diversification opportunities, 
and are relatively isolated. In other words, these communities have the 
least resilient economies and they would be most affected by management 
strategies designed to achieve reductions in yelloweye impacts. At an 
OY level less than or equal to 12 mt, these communities would lose 
major portions of their recreational and/or commercial fisheries. Given 
that the West Coast commercial groundfish fishery was declared a 
disaster from which it has not recovered, and that achieving a 
yelloweye OY of 12 mt or less would require closing major portions of 
the fishery for the least resilient communities, yelloweye OY levels 
that were less than 12 mt were considered as clearly resulting in 
disastrous consequences for tribal and non-tribal fishing communities.
    Comment 7: The Three Organizations cite Tables 4-5 through 4-7 of 
the Final EIS for the 2007-2008 groundfish harvest specifications and 
management measures, which show that the yelloweye rockfish mortality 
in 2003 was 8.1 mt. They then conclude that this means that the fishing 
industry was able to function at this lower yelloweye harvest level 
without any disaster declaration. The Three Organizations then state 
that yelloweye rockfish rebuilding is lagging behind the current 
Council-adopted schedule, citing a Scientific and Statistical Committee 
report from March 2006. Based on their belief that the yelloweye 
rebuilding rate is lagging behind the current schedule, they state that 
the yelloweye rockfish OY should be lower than current catch levels, 
and conclude that the ramp-down rebuilding strategy does not rebuild 
yelloweye rockfish as quickly as possible.
    Response: Table 4-5 of the FEIS, which provides catch estimates for 
2003 incorrectly does not not include recreational yelloweye rockfish 
catch. The 8.1 mt figure is only for commercial and tribal fisheries. 
Recreational fisheries add another 11 mt to the estimate (based on 
Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission's Recreational Fisheries 
Information Network estimates available at: http://www.recfin.org/
forms/est.html, as calculated on November 24, 2006.)
    The Three Organizations' assertion that the yelloweye stock is 
rebuilding behind schedule is a misinterpretation of the stock 
assessment. The 2006 stock assessment shows that the yelloweye 
population is rebuilding, but that the population is less resilient 
than thought in previous assessments. An estimation that the yelloweye 
population is less resilient than previously thought means that the new 
stock assessment has new information about the status and biology of 
the stock that indicates that prior assessments were overly optimistic 
about both the stock's productivity and the rate at which it could 
rebuild. Therefore, the old rebuilding schedule is also overly 
optimistic, when taking into account the biology of the yelloweye 
rockfish stock. In response to the new information on yelloweye 
biology, the new yelloweye rebuilding plan would set the OY at 23 mt in 
2007, reduce it to 20 mt in 2008, and then reduce again in 2009 and 
2010, until it is at a level that is approximately one-half of the 2006 
OY of 27 mt. As

[[Page 78645]]

discussed in the preamble to the proposed rule for this action and in 
the response to Comment 5, above, NMFS intends to achieve these 
reductions based on research to be conducted on more precisely designed 
YRCAs.
    Comment 8: The Three Organizations note that the C-shaped and South 
Washington Coast YRCAs prohibit recreational fishing for groundfish and 
halibut, but rely on voluntary avoidance to exclude commercial fishing. 
They believe that a voluntary avoidance system does not provide 
meaningful yelloweye rockfish protection; and, they request that NMFS 
explain its basis for relying on this measure for protecting yelloweye 
rockfish and to make this prohibition mandatory for all fishing.
    Response: As explained in the preamble to the proposed rule for 
this action, and in the preambles to proposed and final rules on past 
actions to implement groundfish specifications and management measures, 
area closures and other fishing restrictions to protect overfished 
species have been designed to best minimize overfished species bycatch 
using the mechanisms most appropriate to the fishery managed. As a 
result, the fishery management regime for recreational fisheries is 
different than that implemented for commercial fisheries. The fishery 
management regimes for trawl and non-trawl commercial fisheries also 
differ, to take into account the operational differences between the 
gear types.
    Yelloweye rockfish are not commonly caught in trawl fisheries; 
therefore, management measures to minimize incidental catch of 
yelloweye focus most strongly on constraining the recreational and non-
trawl commercial fisheries. Off the northern Washington coast, the non-
trawl commercial groundfish fisheries have been prohibited from fishing 
in waters between the shoreline and a boundary line approximating the 
100 fm (183 m) depth contour since January 1, 2003 (See NMFS RCA 
Archives website for RCA boundary history: http://www.nwr.noaa.gov/
Groundfish-Halibut/Groundfish-Fishery-Management/Groundfish-Closed-
Areas/RCA-Archives.cfm.) This closure keeps non-trawl commercial 
groundfish vessels from operating over the continental shelf, reducing 
incidental catch of northern overfished shelf rockfish, such as 
yelloweye and canary rockfish. Adult yelloweye rockfish most commonly 
occur in waters shoreward of the 100 fm (183 m) depth contour. For 
2007-2008, NMFS is implementing an additional YRCA for commercial non-
trawl fisheries, closing a deeper area that has historically been open 
to commercial fishing, but where yelloweye rockfish may be encountered. 
Both the new North Coast Commercial YRCA and the non-trawl RCA overlap 
with the traditional recreational C-shaped YRCA. The Three 
Organizations depict NMFS as relying on a voluntary commercial area 
closure to rebuild yelloweye rockfish; rather, NMFS relies on the 
mandatory measures for commercial and recreational fisheries described 
in this response and implemented via this final rule. A map depicting 
the overlapping closed areas that affect the non-trawl commercial and 
recreational groundfish fisheries is available online at: http://
www.nwr.noaa.gov/Groundfish-Halibut/Groundfish-Fishery-Management/
Groundfish-Closed-Areas/Index.cfm#CP--JUMP--30276.
    Recreational fishery participants usually work from smaller vessels 
than those used in the commercial fishery, and are less likely to take 
multi-day fishing trips. As a result, most recreational fisheries 
operations occur within the 0-100 fm (0-183 m) closure for the non-
trawl commercial fisheries. If that same area were closed to 
recreational fishing, the recreational fishery in this area would be 
essentially closed, which would have dramatic negative effects on 
northern Washington coastal communities. Some recreational fishing 
trips, particularly the charter operations from more remote Washington 
ports, will venture farther offshore in search of larger-sized Pacific 
halibut, the largest of the West Coast flatfishes. Pacific halibut 
commonly co-occur with yelloweye rockfish. NMFS first implemented a 
recreational fishery closed off northern Washington when the halibut 
Catch Sharing Plan went into effect in 1995. At that time, the intent 
of the closure was to slow the pace of the recreational halibut 
fishery, by closing an area of known high halibut abundance. When 
yelloweye rockfish were declared overfished in 2002, the Council looked 
at the strong co-occurrence of halibut with yelloweye rockfish and 
recommended prohibiting recreational groundfish fishing within that 
same area traditionally closed to halibut fishing. In 2003, NMFS and 
the Council expanded the traditional closed area for recreational 
halibut fisheries to the current C-shaped YRCA (68 FR 10989, March 7, 
2003.) Today, the C-shaped YRCA applies to recreational fisheries for 
both halibut and groundfish, and continues to have the dual role of 
prohibiting recreational fishing where some yelloweye rockfish are 
known to occur, and prohibiting recreational fishing for a species that 
strongly co-occurs with yelloweye, Pacific halibut. Although the 
historic commercial RCA and the new commercial YRCA are more closely 
linked to areas and depths where yelloweye rockfish are thought to 
commonly occur, the C-shaped YRCA is more appropriate for the 
recreational fisheries, with their higher allowable halibut harvest and 
tendency to only operate farther offshore when targeting particular big 
game fish. Future refinements may need to be made to all of the 
species-specific YRCAs, as new information becomes available on 
particular geographic areas favored by yelloweye rockfish.
    Comment 9: The Three Organizations support a complete closure of 
traditional commercial sablefish fishing grounds for vessels that 
homeport off the northern Washington Coast and in Puget Sound. They 
believe that such a closure would protect the sablefish resource and 
would allow NMFS to implement a lower yelloweye rockfish OY than 12.6 
mt and rebuild yelloweye rockfish at a faster rate.
    Response: NMFS does not agree that a complete closure of 
traditional commercial sablefish fishing grounds is necessary or 
appropriate to protect sablefish. The sablefish stock is estimated to 
be at 34 percent of its estimated unfished biomass level, or 
B<INF>34</INF>. The sablefish OYs for 2007 and 2008, implemented via 
this action, are based on the FMP's harvest policy that species with 
abundance levels within the precautionary zone (between B<INF>25</INF> 
and B<INF>40</INF>) have OYs reduced from their ABCs by ever greater 
percentages the closer the stock is estimated to be to B<INF>25</INF>, 
the overfished threshold. (See FMP at section 4.5.1.) This policy 
protects stocks that are below their BMSY level, acting as a default 
rebuilding policy that both prevents those stocks from dipping below 
the overfished threshold and rebuilds them back to their B<INF>MSY</INF> 
(B<INF>40</INF>) levels. If the traditional northern Washington 
sablefish fishing groundfish were closed, the entire sablefish OY would 
still be available to the remaining open areas along the West Coast; 
therefore, closing a particular area to sablefish fishing would have no 
effect on the sablefish resource, other than to intensify sablefish 
fishing effort within the remaining open fishing areas.
    The FEIS for this action estimates at Table 4-18 that 1.1 mt of 
yelloweye rockfish were taken in the 2004 fixed gear (longline and pot) 
sablefish fisheries north of 40[deg]10' N. lat. (approximately Cape 
Mendocino, California,) at a ratio of approximately 8.9 lb (4.04 kg) of 
yelloweye per 1,000 lb (454 kg) of sablefish. [Note: this

[[Page 78646]]

bycatch ratio applies only to sablefish taken with longline gear; pot 
gear is estimated to have zero yelloweye catch.] At Table 7-22, the 
FEIS estimates that the limited entry fixed gear sablefish landings in 
Washington generated approximately $2,753,000 in ex-vessel revenue. 
This is important income for vessels operating from some of the most 
economically groundfish-dependent and vulnerable fishing communities, 
such as Ilwaco and Neah Bay, Washington, and coastal counties, such as 
Pacific and Grays Harbor Counties.
    Comment 10: The Three Organizations believe that the yelloweye 
rockfish OY ramp-down strategy increases the likelihood that old and 
fecund female rockfish will be removed from the population. The Three 
Organizations cite black rockfish papers by Berkeley et al. (2004) and 
by Bobko and Berkeley (2004), and state that they believe that larvae 
born from older rockfish have an increased rate of growth and survival 
than larvae born from younger rockfish, which they believe may affect 
recruitment success and rebuilding. They state that old rockfish are 
critical to the reproductive success of the stock, and that management 
should focus not only on biomass size, but also on increasing the 
proportion of older fish in the population. They then conclude that the 
ramp-down rebuilding strategy should not be adopted because they 
believe that it does not increase the proportion of older fish in the 
yelloweye rockfish population.
    In addition to this specific comment on older female rockfish in 
the yelloweye population, The Three Organizations make a more general 
comment on the benefits of older females within all rockfish species' 
populations. They state that they believe that management measures and 
the determination of OYs must incorporate scientific findings that the 
larvae produced by older rockfish have an increased probability of 
survival over those produced by younger rockfish, that older rockfish 
have greater larval outputs than younger rockfish, and that having 
older female rockfish in a population increases the chance that some 
fish will release their larvae at the best time for food supply. They 
also believe that management measures should promote multiple 
productive stocks with a mix of old and young females over a broad 
spatial area. To use the best available science, they believe that NMFS 
should explore and implement strategies to avoid mortality of mega-
spawners and immature fish and modifying the OY models to account and 
plan for the age structure of the fishery. They then conclude that 
lower groundfish OYs better preserve mega-spawners, which they believe 
guards against collapse.
    Response: The scientific papers cited by the Three Organizations 
specifically discuss research on black rockfish, not yelloweye 
rockfish, although an additional 2004 paper from Berkeley, et. al, 
``Fisheries Sustainability via Protection of Age Structure and Spatial 
Distribution of Fish Populations,'' draws more general conclusions 
about the effects of age and spatial distribution on population health 
and abundance on a variety of Pacific rockfish species. Most rockfish 
species are long-lived and slow-growing, with individuals of some 
species living as long as, or longer than 100 years. This rockfish life 
history strategy is useful in a physical environment, such as with the 
narrow continental shelf off the North American West Coast, where 
optimal spawning conditions may occur infrequently over time. Different 
rockfish species benefit from different environmental conditions in 
terms of which years and geographic areas are likely to feature 
successful spawning classes. Many of the West Coast overfished rockfish 
stock assessments have noted that rockfish stocks will require several 
particularly successful recruitment years before they recover above 
BMSY. For example, the recent increase in bocaccio abundance was made 
possible by two particularly successful year classes from 1999 and 
2000. Lingcod, by contrast, is more consistent in its year-to-year 
spawning success, and its rebuilding primarily benefitted from fishery 
closures in times and areas when its recruitment success was most 
vulnerable - during the winter spawning and nest-guarding period.
    The Three Organizations note that the 2004 Berkeley, et. al paper 
has demonstrated that older female black rockfish produce larvae with 
faster growth rates and greater larval survival than younger fish, with 
age being a more significant predictor than size alone. Similarly, 
Bobko and Berkeley (2004) demonstrated that older females spawn earlier 
in the year than younger females, with potential implications on 
sustainability and reproductive success associated with the timing of 
parturition and the short term variability in ocean conditions. The 
Berkeley et al. paper on fisheries sutainability, mentioned above, 
speaks on the implications of these results to rockfish more generally, 
but this review does not conclusively demonstrate comparable impacts on 
other Sebastes species. In other words, the authors of these papers 
have, in keeping with sound science practices, provided quantified 
conclusions on black rockfish that may be considered for use in future 
black rockfish stock assessments, but only qualitative conclusions for 
other rockfish species. NMFS notes that comparable research in the 
North Atlantic has led to estimable impacts of productivity for 
commercially important species. For example, Trippel et al. (1997) 
review evidence that demonstrates that first and second time spawning 
Atlantic cod breed for shorter periods of time, produce fewer egg 
batches, and produce smaller size eggs with lower fertilization and 
hatching rates. When such considerations were incorporated into stock 
assessments, overfishing thresholds for those were considerably lower 
(Murawski et al. 2001). These studies are part of a growing area of 
research that indicate substantial variability in the reproductive 
abilities of younger and older individuals of many species, the 
inference being that a broad distribution of age structure is 
beneficial to the recruitment and productivity of many stocks. 
Consequently, this issue remains an area of intensive research, within 
both the agency and private research institutions.
    Currently, ongoing studies by NMFS and academic researchers are 
attempting to compare potential maternal effects in a suite of West 
Coast rockfish species, including blue, olive, gopher, yellowtail, 
kelp, chilipepper and widow rockfish relative to what was found 
previously in black rockfish. Comparable investigations are ongoing for 
waters off Alaska, such as for POP. Without such comparative studies, 
generalizations from the black rockfish study are difficult to 
extrapolate to other Sebastes species. This issue is widely recognized 
by researchers and assessment scientists as important in evaluating the 
productivity and sustainability of West Coast groundfish fisheries, and 
insight gained from ongoing research will be incorporated into 
scientific assessments and management advice as it becomes available. 
Such considerations can potentially be addressed in new stock 
assessment models by modifying the shape of fecundity curves to 
represent relative maternal reproductive success in estimating 
effective spawning output. Alternatively, the potential implications of 
these effects may lead to new insights on future optimal management 
regimes, such as spatial management measures, that explicitly recognize 
the significance of age structure in population sustainability.
    Although NMFS has some habitat information for yelloweye rockfish, 
the agency does not have information on where older female yelloweye 
rockfish

[[Page 78647]]

are particularly found. This lack of sex- and age-specific habitat data 
is not unique to yelloweye rockfish. The Berkeley, et. al. paper on 
fisheries sustainability, mentioned above, recognizes this lack of 
information on sex- and age-specific habitat by suggesting that age 
diversity in rockfish populations could be supported through 
implementing a network of marine protected areas. NMFS has already 
implemented a coastwide network of marine protected areas, some of 
which were designed to protect essential groundfish habitat, and some 
of which were designed to limit the incidental catch of adult life 
stage overfished species, including yelloweye rockfish. In addition to 
the RCAs, which were designed to prevent incidental catch of several 
overfished species within the same areas (bocaccio, canary, 
darkblotched, Pacific ocean perch, widow, and yelloweye rockfish), NMFS 
has implemented YRCAs specifically intended to minimize yelloweye 
rockfish bycatch. This action implements four additional YRCAs beyond 
those that continue to be in place from prior years. As discussed 
above, in the response to Comment 4, the yelloweye OY ramp-down 
strategy allows NMFS and its partner managing agencies to collect more 
information on yelloweye habitat, so as to determine whether the 
boundaries of current YRCAs need to be modified, or new YRCAs created, 
to provide yelloweye with improved protection from incidental catch. 
Yelloweye rockfish rebuilding measures prohibit yelloweye retention, 
removing any incentive that fishers may have to particularly target 
large-size fish.
    One unintended artifact of managing the coastwide West Coast 
groundfish fishery with an overarching goal of rebuilding overfished 
stocks is that both the rebuilding stocks themselves and healthier 
under-harvested co-occurring stocks have relatively high proportions of 
younger-aged fish within their populations. In other words, the 
restrictive groundfish management in the 2000-2006 period has resulted 
in an abundance of groundfish from the 2000-2006 year classes. As 
mentioned above, initial conclusions from the scientists addressing 
this question of the fecundity of older-age female rockfish indicate 
that these authors believe that marine protected areas would help 
either improve population age diversity, improve the survivability of 
older-age fish, or both. As also discussed above, the current network 
of groundfish marine protected areas meets several Magnuson-Stevens Act 
mandates by focusing on protecting essential fish habitat and 
minimizing bycatch of overfished species. NMFS does not have any 
information on the specific modifications that would need to be made to 
its network of West Coast marine protected areas to better promote 
rockfish population age diversity.
    Comment 11: The senders of the form emails urge NMFS to adopt an 
ecosystem approach to fisheries management and to incorporate ecosystem 
considerations into the groundfish FMP. The Three Organizations comment 
that they see a need for developing an ecosystem-based fisheries 
management approach to Pacific fisheries management, including 
overarching ecosystem goals and objectives to guide fisheries 
management decisions. They express a belief that the current management 
program is focused on achieving maximum sustainable yield for market 
valued species, on a species-by-species basis, and a belief that such a 
program threatens the health of the California Current ecosystem.
    Response: NMFS agrees that ecosystem needs and effects are critical 
elements in managing West Coast fisheries. However, NMFS disagrees with 
the comment that the current management framework focuses only on 
achieving maximum sustainable yield for market value species. Under 
Section 304(e) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act, rebuilding times for 
overfished species must be as short as possible, taking into account 
the status and biology of any overfished stocks of fish, the needs of 
fishing communities, and the interaction of overfished stocks within 
the marine ecosystem. The FEIS for this action complies with that 
requirement. Section 3.1.6 of the FEIS discusses the role of overfished 
species in the West Coast marine ecosystem, and section 3.2 discusses 
the direct and indirect effects of 2007-2008 management measures on 
West Coast essential fish habitat and the marine ecosystem. 
Additionally, both NMFS's Northwest and Southwest Fisheries Science 
Centers are actively engaged in research efforts that are focused on 
modeling predator-prey and ecosystem dynamics, incorporating 
environmental indices into stock assessments, and evaluating the 
consequences of fishing on other elements of the ecosystem. However, as 
reported in section 3.3.3 of the FEIS, ``the data necessary to develop 
and adequately parameterize multispecies models are lacking for most 
ecosystems, including the California Current. Even with adequate data, 
the ability of multispecies models to make meaningful predictions 
regarding the consequences of decisions is limited.''
    NMFS also disagrees with the comment that the 2007-2008 management 
program is designed to maximize market value of the fishery on a 
species-by-species basis. As discussed in the preamble to the proposed 
rule for this action, the Council process and EIS for this action took 
a new analytical approach to asking the question for each overfished 
species, ``What is the shortest time possible to rebuild this species, 
taking into account the status and biology of this stock and its co-
occurring overfished species, and the needs of fishing communities that 
depend on fisheries that have historically taken this stock either 
directly or incidentally?'' The new and more holistic analytical 
approach that NMFS, the Council, and the public took in answering this 
question looks at the relative biological attributes of each overfished 
groundfish species, their relative levels of depletion and 
vulnerability, the interaction of those species with various fishing 
sectors, and the impact those species have on West Coast fishing 
communities. When establishing the Amendment 16-4 rebuilding parameters 
and the 2007-2008 OYs for overfished species, the status and biology of 
the stocks were taken into account by considering the shortest possible 
rebuilding periods within different packages of management measures 
that placed an emphasis on providing the greatest protection for the 
most sensitive and least productive overfished species. Careful 
consideration was given to: the differences between the biological 
characteristics of each overfished species; the varying possible 
rebuilding schedules; the depletion rates of each overfished species; 
the relative sensitivity of each overfished species to changes in the 
management regime; and, the need for research data to ensure the 
availability of information to assess the status and biology of 
overfished species and other fish stocks.
    Taking the needs of fishing communities into account as part of the 
development of new Amendment 16-4 rebuilding plans meant conducting new 
socio-economic analyses. The court noted the multi-species nature of 
the groundfish fisheries, stating that the Magnuson-Stevens Act allows 
NMFS to ``set limited quotas [for rebuilding species] that would 
account for the short-term needs of fishing communities (for example, 
to allow for some fishing of plentiful species despite the 
inevitability of bycatch), even though this would mean that the 
rebuilding period would take longer than it would under a total fishing 
ban.'' Careful

[[Page 78648]]

analytical consideration was given to the needs of the fishing 
communities, particularly: the vulnerability of different fishing 
communities to reductions in available harvest; the resilience of 
different fishing communities to changes in community groundfish 
fishing revenues; the effects that recent past harvest levels have had 
on fishing communities; and, the need for management flexibility to 
address uncertainty in preseason catch predictions of overfished 
species such that the OYs are not exceeded or that fishing communities 
are not subject to the disastrous immediate consequences from inseason 
adjustments.
    Comment 12: The letter received from the marine scientific 
researcher with the University of California, Santa Barbara, believes 
that NMFS does not have enough information to revise the size and shape 
of the Western Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCA). The multiple form 
emails received state that the Eastern and Western CCAs are important 
conservation tools that have been successful at reducing cowcod 
bycatch, and urge NMFS to maintain the existing CCA boundary lines. The 
letter received from The Three Organizations states that altering the 
CCA boundary lines will increase cowcod bycatch and undermine cowcod 
rebuilding objectives. The Three Organizations also state that changing 
the CCA boundaries will compromise the monitoring and enforcement of 
fishing activities, and will undermine observation and data collection 
efforts.
    Response: NMFS has disapproved the Council's recommendation to 
revise the boundaries of the Western CCA. NMFS is disapproving the 
Council's recommendation for several reasons, including: (1) cowcod 
have a fairly sedentary life history and closed areas are one of the 
few rebuilding tools that NMFS expects will have a measurable effect on 
increasing the cowcod biomass; (2) there is relatively sparse data on 
cowcod stock abundance, which creates greater uncertainty regarding the 
cowcod stock status; (3) there is an unquantified potential for effort 
shifts that could result from this change; and (4) there is uncertainty 
in the estimates of increased impacts to cowcod, bocaccio, and non-
overfished species within the CCA boundaries. By disapproving this 
Council recommendation, NMFS is continuing its precautionary approach 
to management of the CCAs and cowcod, an overfished rockfish species, 
without constraining existing fisheries. Maintaining the current CCA 
boundaries does not alter the OYs of healthy Southern California 
groundfish species available for harvest outside of the CCAs.
    Comment 13: The sender of the individualized email is a California 
angler who catches rockfish and other fish species. He states that when 
fishing for groundfish, the prohibited rockfish species are inevitably 
caught and must then be discarded. He notes that few of the discarded 
rockfish survive the catch-and-release process, and often become food 
for the waiting terns and gulls. He wonders if there is a dichotomy in 
this scenario.
    Response: Federal groundfish regulations prohibit the retention of 
overfished species in recreational fisheries in order to discourage the 
directed targeting of those species. RCAs are used to lower the 
frequency of incidental catch of overfished species taken in fisheries 
targeting more abundant co-occurring groundfish stocks. Allowing the 
retention of a particular species in sport fisheries tends to increase 
the total catch (landed catch + discard) of that species; therefore, 
allowing the retention of overfished species in recreational fisheries, 
particularly for more vulnerable stocks, is counter to NMFS' rebuilding 
program. NMFS is aware that continental shelf rockfish species taken in 
recreational fisheries are unlikely to survive the catch-and-release 
process. That mortality is accounted for as the recreational fisheries' 
portion of each overfished species OY. Rockfish, both overfished and 
healthy species, are common in the diets of a variety of seabirds; NMFS 
is not surprised that terns and gulls are eating discarded fish.

Changes from the Proposed Rule

    At its September 11-15 meeting in Foster City, CA, the Council 
reviewed its June recommendations for the 2007-2008 fishery 
specifications and management measures. The Council provided NMFS with 
comments on its June recommendations, asking that NMFS make a few 
refinements to the 2007-2008 specifications and management measures 
that the agency had published as proposed in the Federal Register. On 
October 3, 2006, Council staff transmitted the Council's recommended 
refinements in a letter to NMFS. That letter did not detail the 
Council's rationale for the recommended refinements, referring instead 
to public discussions held at the September 2006 Council meeting. Thus, 
the Council's September 2006 recommendations are discussed in this 
section on changes from the proposed rule, rather than above in 
responses to comments received during the comment period.
    As part of the 2007-2008 groundfish management measures, the 
Council considered implementing the Ocean Salmon Conservation Zone 
(OSCZ), an area shoreward of a boundary line approximating the 100 fm 
(183 m) depth contour, as a potential inseason management tool for the 
whiting fishery. The OSCZ was evaluated in the DEIS, and at the June 
2006 Council meeting the GMT recommended that this measure be adopted 
as part of the Council's management measures recommendations to NMFS. 
However, the Council's final management recommendations to NMFS had 
inadvertently not included the OSCZ requirement. NMFS and Council staff 
discovered this oversight following the June 2006 Council meeting. 
Because the OSCZ had been evaluated in the DEIS, and, until the last 
moment of the Council's final decision had been part of the Council's 
developing management package, NMFS included the OSCZ as part of the 
proposed action. The Council took final action on this issue at its 
September 2006 meeting, and recommended adopting the OSCZ for 2007 and 
beyond to give NMFS the authority to implement a nearshore closure for 
all sectors of the Pacific Coast whiting fishery if Chinook take is 
anticipated to exceed acceptable levels. The Council recommended a 
flexible approach of applying this mitigation measure in response to 
conditions in the fishery, rather than having the OSCZ in effect 
throughout the whiting season, which could possibly shift effort 
offshore and increase catch rates of canary and darkblotched rockfish. 
This flexibility allows industry and NMFS to monitor whiting fishing 
activities and modify fishery restrictions inseason to appropriately 
respond to environmental factors that influence varying bycatch rates 
for salmon bycatch and depleted rockfish species. The incidental take 
level for Chinook salmon may be changed through the Endangered Species 
Act consultation process, if needed. NMFS concurs with this 
recommendation and acknowledges the Council's endorsement of the use of 
the OSCZ as management tool for the 2007 through 2008 Pacific Coast 
whiting fishery.
    At the June 2006 Council meeting, the Council had recommended a 
2007 petrale sole acceptable biological catch (ABC) of 2,917 mt. 
Subsequent to that decision, NMFS and Council staff discovered that the 
2007 ABC had been incorrectly calculated from its stock assessment, 
resulting in a mathematically incorrect petrale sole ABC being adopted. 
The ABC adopted

[[Page 78649]]

in June 2006 was the sum of the northern 40-10 adjusted OY of 1,289 mt 
and the southern ABC of 1,628 mt. Instead, the Council should have 
specified a 2007 petrale sole ABC of 3,025 mt for 2007, which is the 
sum of the northern ABC of 1,397 mt and the southern ABC of 1,628 mt. 
Therefore, at its September 2006 meeting, the Council recommended a 
technical correction to the 2007 petrale sole ABC from 2,917 mt to 
3,025 mt. The 2008 ABC value of 2,919 mt recommended by the Council at 
the June 2006 meeting was calculated correctly and does not need to be 
changed. NMFS concurs with this recommendation and has made the 
technical correction to the 2007 petrale sole ABC in Table 1a of this 
action.
    At its November 12-17 meeting in Del Mar, CA, the Council, in 
consultation with Pacific Coast Treaty Indian Tribes and the States of 
Washington, Oregon, and California, recommended the following changes 
to 2007-2008 management measures based on the most recent information: 
(1) Decrease limited entry trawl trip limits for petrale sole in 
Periods 1 (January-February) and 6 (November-December), and (2) 
decrease open access trip limits for sablefish.
    Catch of petrale sole was higher than expected in 2006. If the 
higher than expected petrale sole catches in 2006 are repeated in 2007, 
there is the potential for early attainment of the petrale sole OY. The 
2007 petrale sole OY of 2,499 mt is 263 mt less than the 2006 ABC/OY of 
2,762 mt. The Period 1 and 6 cumulative limits for petrale sole in 2007 
as stated in the proposed rule (71 FR 57764, September 29, 2006) are 
80,000 lb (36,287 kg) per 2 months, which are higher than the 2006 
limits. The 2006 petrale sole trip limits were 30,000 lb (13, 608 kg) 
per month in Period 1 and 70,000 lb (31, 752 kg) per 2 months in Period 
6. To reduce the potential for early attainment of the 2007 OY, the 
Council recommended that trip limits for Periods 1 and 6 be reduced to 
50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per 2 months beginning January 1, 2007. Pacific 
Coast groundfish landings will be monitored throughout the year and 
further adjustments to trip limits or management measures will be made 
as necessary to allow achievement of, or to avoid exceeding, optimum 
yields (OYs).
    Therefore, for 2007 and 2008, the Council recommended and NMFS is 
implementing trip limit adjustments for the limited entry trawl fishery 
in Periods 1 (January-February) and 6 (November-December) as follows: 
(1) North of 40[deg]10' N. lat., decrease petrale sole trip limits from 
80,000 lb (36,287 kg) per 2 months to 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per 2 
months for large and small footrope trawl gear; and (2) south of 
40[deg]10' N. lat., decrease petrale sole trip limits from 80,000 lb 
(36,287 kg) per 2 months to 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per 2 months.
    Catch of sablefish in the open access (OA) daily trip limit (DTL) 
fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat. was higher in 2006 than in previous 
years, in part due to reduced salmon fishing opportunities. In 2006, 
the OA sablefish DTL fishery experienced a large influx of fishing 
effort from vessels unable to participate in the highly restricted 
salmon fishery. To slow the catch of sablefish in 2006, the OA 
sablefish DTL fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat. was decreased from May 
through September (71 FR 24601, April 26, 2006) and then closed from 
October through December due to early attainment of the OA sablefish 
allocation (71 FR 58289, October 3, 2006). Reducing the cumulative 
limit was intended to provide for a longer season in 2006, which was 
thought to most benefit fishers who have historically participated in 
the year-round fishery. Based on anticipated salmon fishing 
opportunities in 2007, effort in the OA sablefish DTL fishery is 
expected to be equivalent to or higher than effort in the 2006 fishery. 
The Council recommended decreasing trip limits in the OA sablefish DTL 
fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat. to increase the likelihood that the OA 
sablefish DTL fishery can be prosecuted as a year-round fishery. In 
2006, when trip limits for the OA sablefish DTL fishery north of 
36[deg] N. lat. were closed and trip limits south of 36[deg] N. lat. 
were increased, effort shifted into the OA sablefish DTL fishery south 
of 36[deg] N. lat. The Council recommended that the daily and weekly 
trip limits for the OA sablefish DTL fishery south of 36[deg] N. lat. 
be aligned with the OA sablefish DTL fishery limits north of 36[deg] N. 
lat. to limit the incentive for additional vessels to fish south of 
36[deg] N. lat. and to prevent early attainment of the sablefish 
harvest guidelines north and south of 36[deg] N. lat.
    Therefore, for 2007 and 2008, the Council recommended and NMFS is 
implementing the following: (1) A reduction in the trip limits for the 
OA sablefish DTL fishery north of 36[deg] N. lat. to the U.S./Canada 
border for January through December from ``300 lb (136 kg) per day, or 
1 landing per week of up to 1,000 lb (454 kg), not to exceed 3,000 lb 
(1,361 kg) per 2 months'' to ``300 lb (136 kg) per day, or 1 landing 
per week of up to 700 lb (318 kg), not to exceed 2,100 lb (953 kg) per 
2 months,'' and (2) a reduction in the trip limits for the OA sablefish 
DTL fishery south of 36[deg] N. lat. to the U.S./Mexico border for 
January through December from ``350 lb (159 kg) per day, or 1 landing 
per week of up to 1,050 lb (476 kg)'' to ``300 lb (136 kg) per day, or 
1 landing per week of up to 700 lb (318 kg).''
    In addition, NMFS is revising the regulations in the proposed rule 
(71 FR 57764, September 29, 2006) to include an exemption from closed 
areas and seasons for recreational divers spearfishing for groundfish 
species off California in 2007 and 2008. At the Council's June 11-16, 
2006, meeting in Foster City, CA, the Council made final 
recommendations on the 2007-2008 groundfish specifications and 
management measures. In Agenda item F.6.e, CDFG supplemental motion in 
writing, June 2006, the Council recommended an exemption from 
recreational closed areas and seasons for divers and shore-based 
anglers that was contingent on the California Fish and Game Commission 
adopting it. The California Fish and Game Commission adopted this 
measure at their November 3, 2006, meeting. In addition, this exemption 
was analyzed in the 2007-2008 groundfish EIS. This exemption was listed 
in Agenda item F.6.e as ``status quo'' management measures, meaning 
that it was in place in state regulation in 2005 and 2006. However, it 
has not previously been in Federal regulation. While the shore-based 
angler exemption is not necessary in Federal regulation because it 
occurs entirely in state waters, the diver exemption would apply to 
recreational spearfishing in Federal waters.
    Therefore, for 2007 and 2008, the Council recommended and NMFS is 
implementing an exemption from closed areas and seasons for 
recreational spearfishing consistent with Title 14 of the California 
Code of Regulations. This exemption applies only to recreational 
vessels and divers provided no other fishing gear, except spearfishing 
gear, is on board the vessel. This exemption applies to all federally-
managed groundfish (except lingcod during January, February, March, and 
December), as well as the following California state-managed species: 
ocean whitefish, California sheephead, and all greenlings of the genus 
Hexagrammos (kelp greenling is the only federally-managed greenling).
    NMFS is disapproving the Council's recommendation to revise the 
boundaries of the Western CCA as discussed above in the response to 
Comment 12. As a result of this disapproval, the following are changes 
from the proposed rule: Removed language on 15-minute VMS reporting 
rates from 660.303(d)(5)(i); removed language referring to the 175-fm 
CCA

[[Page 78650]]

from 660.382 (c), limited entry fixed gear fishery management measures, 
and from 660.383 (c), open access fishery management measures; and 
removed language with western 175-fm CCA coordinates from 660.390(k)-
(o), groundfish conservation areas.
    NMFS is adding language to all commercial and recreational YRCAs to 
clarify that vessels may transit through the YRCAs with groundfish on 
board and that vessels fishing within the YRCA may not be in possession 
of groundfish. The language added to the YRCAs mirrors existing 
language from the RCAs. NMFS added clarifying language to the YRCAs in 
the following sections: 660.382(c)(2); 660.383(c)(2) and (4); 
660.384(c)(1)(i)(A) and (B), and (c)(2)(i)(A); and 660.405(c).
    NMFS is also making technical corrections to the latitude and 
longitude coordinates that are used to define Groundfish Conservation 
Areas, including coordinates approximating depth contours used for 
defining Rockfish Conservation Area (RCA) boundaries (See Sec. Sec.  
660.390 through 660.394). The purpose of these corrections is to revise 
the lines so that they better approximate the depth contours they are 
intended to reflect.
    Finally, the following changes were made to ABC/OY Tables 1a-2c and 
the footnotes for these tables: the coastwide range of ABCs and OYs for 
Pacific whiting were added to table 1a; the cowcod area was revised in 
tables 1a and 2a from the area north of 36[deg] N. lat. to the area 
from 36[deg] to 40[deg]30' N. lat.; the minor rockfish north and south 
areas in the Tables 1a, 1b, 2a and 2b were revised to indicate that the 
areas were north and south of 40[deg]10' N. lat.; in footnote h/ of 
tables 1a and 2a, the percent of unfished biomass for cabezon north of 
34[deg]27' N. lat. and south of 34[deg]27' N. lat. were reversed. Due 
to a revisions in table formatting from previous years, several minor 
non-substantive changes were made including: footnote renumbering for 
``other species'', replacement of missing table cell boundaries, 
revised table titles and column headers.

Classification

    The Administrator, Northwest Region, NMFS, has determined that 
Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-2008 groundfish harvest specifications and 
management measures, which this final rule would implement, are 
necessary for the conservation and management of the Pacific Coast 
groundfish fishery and that they are consistent with the Magnuson-
Stevens Act and other applicable laws.
    NMFS prepared an FEIS in support of this action. The FEIS was filed 
with the Environmental Protection Agency on October 13, 2006. A notice 
of availability for this FEIS was published on October 20, 2006 (71 FR 
61967). In approving Amendment 16-4, on November 30, 2006, NMFS issued 
a Record of Decision (ROD) identifying the selected alternative. A copy 
of the ROD is available from NMFS (see ADDRESSES).
    Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-2008 groundfish specifications and 
management measures are intended to rebuild overfished stocks as 
quickly as possible, taking into account the status and biology of the 
stocks and the needs of fishing communities. NMFS has been ordered in 
NRDC v. NMFS to implement this action by January 1, 2007. If these 
measures are not effective on January 1, 2007, the management measures 
from January 1, 2006 will remain in effect. Management measures from 
January 2006 were based on the best scientific information available at 
that time. The 2006 management measures are not tailored to the 2007-
2008 harvest levels and, for some species, are not conservative enough 
to meet the Council's rebuilding goals for 2007-2008. Leaving the 2006 
specifications and management measures in place could cause harm to 
some stocks. For example, the OYs for several overfished species, which 
constrain operations in all of the coastwide groundfish fisheries, are 
lower in 2007 and 2008 than they were in 2006. The yelloweye rockfish 
OY is lower in 2007 and 2008, and constrains commercial and 
recreational hook-and-line fisheries north of Cape Mendocio, 
California, particularly for halibut. The canary rockfish OY is lower 
in 2007 and 2008, and constrains commercial and recreational fisheries 
coastwide, particularly for co-occurring continental shelf species. The 
POP OY is lower in 2007 and 008, and constrains commercial trawl 
fisheries north of Cape Mendocino, California, particularly for co-
occurring continental slope species. The bocaccio and cowcod OYs are 
lower in 2007 and 2008, and constrain commercial and recreational 
fisheries south of Cape Mendocino, California, particularly for co-
occurring continental shelf species. Although the darkblotched and 
widow rockfish OYs are higher in 2007 and 2008 than in 2006, they are 
smaller proportions of their respective ABCs than in 2006; therefore, 
the darkblotched rockfish OY may be expected to constrain commercial 
trawl fisheries for co-occurring continental slope species north of Pt. 
Reyes, California, and the widow rockfish OY may be expected to 
constrain commercial fisheries for co-occurring continental shelf 
species and for Pacific whiting, coastwide. The commercial fishery is 
managed with two-month cumulative limits, so even a short delay in 
effectiveness could allow the fleets to harvest the entire two-month 
limit before the 2007 measures are effective. Delaying the 
effectiveness of this rule would also be confusing to the public, since 
it would result in a change in trip limits in the midst of the two-
month January-February cumulative trip limit period. Finally, delay in 
publishing these measures could also require unnecessarily restrictive 
measures, including possible fishery closures, later in the year to 
make up for excessive harvest that would be caused by late 
implementation of these regulations. Thus, a delay in effectiveness 
could ultimately cause economic harm to the fishing industry and 
associated fishing communities. These reasons constitute good cause 
under authority contained in 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), to establish an 
effective date less than 30 days after date of publication.
    This final rule has been determined to be not significant for 
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    NMFS prepared a final regulatory flexibility analysis (FRFA) as 
part of the regulatory impact review. The FRFA incorporates the IRFA, 
the comments and responses to the proposed rule, and a summary of the 
analyses completed to support the action. A copy of the FRFA is 
available from NMFS (see ADDRESSES) and a summary of the FRFA, per the 
requirements of 5 U.S.C. 604(a), follows: Amendment 16-4 and the 2007-
2008 harvest specifications and management measures are intended to 
respond to court orders in NRDC v. NMFS and to implement a groundfish 
management scheme for the 2007 and 2008 groundfish fisheries. During 
the comment period on the proposed rule, NMFS received two letters of 
comment and 1,446 e-mails of comment, but none of the comments received 
addressed the IRFA, although one letter directly or indirectly 
addressed the economic effects of the rule, as discussed above in the 
response to Comments 1 and 2.
    NMFS estimates that implementation of this action will affect about 
2,600 small entities. These entities are associated with those vessels 
that either target groundfish or harvest groundfish as bycatch. 
Consequently, these are the vessels, other than catcher-processors, 
that participate in the limited entry portion of the fishery, the open 
access fishery, the charterboat fleet, and the tribal fleets. Catcher-
processors also operate in the Alaska pollock fishery, and all are 
entities associated with

[[Page 78651]]

larger companies such as Trident and American Seafoods. Therefore, NMFS 
does not consider catcher-processors to be small entities.
    As of July 2006, there were 403 limited entry permits for the West 
Coast groundfish fishery, including: 179 endorsed for trawl (174 trawl 
only, 4 trawl and longline, and 1 trawl and trap-pot); 198 endorsed for 
longline (193 longline only, 4 longline and trap-pot, and 4 trawl and 
longline); 32 endorsed for trap-pot (27 trap-pot only, 4 longline and 
trap-pot, and 1 trawl and trap-pot). Of the longline and trap-pot 
permits, 164 are sablefish endorsed. Of these endorsements 126 are 
``stacked'' on 50 vessels, in accordance with Federal regulations at 50 
CFR 660.335. Eight of the trawl limited entry permits are used or owned 
by catcher-processor companies associated with the whiting fishery. The 
remaining 395 entities are considered small businesses based on a 
review of sector revenues and average revenues per entity. The open 
access or nearshore fleet, depending on the year and level of 
participation, is estimated to be about 1,300 to 1,600 vessels. All of 
the open access fishery participants are considered small entities. The 
tribal fleet is comprised of 53 vessels, and the Charterboat fleet 
includes 525 vessels that are also assumed to be small entities. All of 
these small entities would be affected by this action.
    This action, taken from the final Council-preferred alternative in 
the FEIS, represents the Council's efforts to address directions 
provided by the court in NRDC v. NMFS that emphasized the need to 
rebuild stocks in as short a time as possible, taking into account: (1) 
The status and biology of the stocks, (2) the needs of fishing 
communities, and (3) interactions of depleted stocks within the marine 
ecosystem. When the Council was taking into account the ``needs of 
fishing communities'' it was also simultaneously taking into account 
the ``needs of small businesses,'' since fishing communities rely on 
small businesses as a source of economic income and activity. In 
particular, as discussed in the IRFA/FRFA, the inclusion of the 
yelloweye rockfish ``ramp-down'' strategy and creation of additional 
YRCAs is a means of trying to mitigate the adverse impacts of this rule 
on small entities.
    Rather than abruptly shifting West Coast fisheries from a 2006 OY 
of 27 mt to a 12-12.6 mt OY, the yelloweye OY ramp-down strategy 
commits the Council to adopting gradually declining OY levels for the 
next four years of the rebuilding period. The 2007-2008 OYs are 23 mt, 
20 mt, and the 2009-2010 OYs are anticipated to be 17 mt, and 14 mt, 
respectively under the ramp-down strategy. Under a 12 or 12.6 mt OY, 
there would be a projected 40 percent decline in ex-vessel revenues and 
about a 30 percent decline in recreational fisheries angler trips and 
expenditures. However many argue that the recreational fisheries impact 
is larger, since fishing seasons would be shortened, which would have 
the additional impact of fewer tourists being drawn to communities 
during times when fishing closures are in place. The communities most 
vulnerable to reductions in yelloweye catch are remote northern coast 
towns with small year-round populations and a strong revenue dependence 
on seasonal tourism influxes. This means that economic impacts would be 
larger than indicated by just examining changes in angler trips. 
Because yelloweye rockfish are harvested in almost all West Coast 
groundfish and non-groundfish fisheries, the economic impact of a zero 
harvest OY is projected to result in a loss of at least $100 million in 
commercial ex-vessel revenues and approximately 1.2 million 
recreational angler trips. The yelloweye ramp-down OY results in 
economic impacts to recreational fisheries that range from near status 
quo, to reductions in angler effort of approximately 22 percent in 2007 
compared to 2005 levels. Similarly, commercial non-trawl ex-vessel 
revenues would range from near status quo to reductions of 13 percent. 
Beyond 2007, the effects are less clear; however, it is expected that 
the economic implications will be less severe than with an immediate OY 
of 12 mt or 12.6 mt. It is estimated that these impacts will be in 
place until 2084, or 36 years longer than T<INF>MIN</INF>.
    Through adopting the ramp-down approach that includes expanded 
YRCAs off Oregon and Washington, the Council was able to consider the 
trade-off between rebuilding periods (need to rebuild as fast as 
possible) and effects on communities (taking into account the needs of 
fishing communities) and small businesses, supported by additional 
management measures to assure the OY is not exceeded (which in turn 
would affect the majority of communities and small businesses because 
of the yelloweye OY's broadly distributed effects.) In comparison to 
the 12 mt OY Alternative, the ramp-down approach extends the rebuilding 
period by 6 years from 2078 to 2084, allows the current fishing sectors 
to continue, and prevents major closures of fisheries and the 
associated harm to communities and their small businesses.
    There are no additional projected reporting, record-keeping, and 
other compliance requirements of the proposed rule not already 
envisioned within the scope of current requirements. References to 
collections-of-information made in this action are intended to properly 
cite those collections in Federal regulations, and not to alter their 
effect in any way.
    No Federal rules have been identified that duplicate, overlap, or 
conflict with this action.
    NMFS issued Biological Opinions under the ESA on August 10, 1990, 
November 26, 1991, August 28, 1992, September 27, 1993, May 14, 1996, 
and December 15, 1999, pertaining to the effects of the Pacific Coast 
groundfish FMP fisheries on Chinook salmon (Puget Sound, Snake River 
spring/summer, Snake River fall, upper Columbia River spring, lower 
Columbia River, upper Willamette River, Sacramento River winter, 
Central Valley spring, California coastal), coho salmon (Central 
California coastal, southern Oregon/northern California coastal), chum 
salmon (Hood Canal summer, Columbia River), sockeye salmon (Snake 
River, Ozette Lake), and steelhead (upper, middle and lower Columbia 
River, Snake River Basin, upper Willamette River, central California 
coast, California Central Valley, south/central California, northern 
California, southern California). These biological opinions have 
concluded that implementation of the FMP for the Pacific Coast 
groundfish fishery was not expected to jeopardize the continued 
existence of any endangered or threatened species under the 
jurisdiction of NMFS, or result in the destruction or adverse 
modification of critical habitat.
    NMFS reinitiated a formal ESA section 7 consultation in 2005 for 
both the Pacific whiting midwater trawl fishery and the groundfish 
bottom trawl fishery. The December 19, 1999 Biological Opinion had 
defined an 11,000 Chinook incidental take threshold for the Pacific 
whiting fishery. During the 2005 Pacific whiting season, the 11,000 
fish Chinook incidental take threshold was exceeded, triggering 
reinitiation. Also in 2005, new WCGOP data became available, allowing 
NMFS to complete an analysis of salmon take in the bottom trawl 
fishery.
    NMFS prepared a Supplemental Biological Opinion dated March 11, 
2006, which addressed salmon take in both the Pacific whiting midwater 
trawl and groundfish bottom trawl fisheries. In its 2006 Supplemental 
Biological Opinion, NMFS concluded that catch rates of salmon in the 
2005 whiting fishery were consistent with expectations considered 
during prior

[[Page 78652]]

consultations. Chinook bycatch has averaged about 7,300 over the last 
15 years and has only occasionally exceeded the reinitiation trigger of 
11,000. Since 1999, annual Chinook bycatch has averaged about 8,450. 
The Chinook Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) most likely 
affected by the whiting fishery have generally improved in status since 
the 1999 ESA section 7 consultation. Although these species remain at 
risk, as indicated by their ESA listing, NMFS concluded that the higher 
observed bycatch in 2005 does not require a reconsideration of its 
prior ``no jeopardy'' conclusion with respect to the fishery. For the 
groundfish bottom trawl fishery, NMFS concluded that incidental take in 
the groundfish fisheries is within the overall limits articulated in 
the Incidental Take Statement of the 1999 Biological Opinion. The 
groundfish bottom trawl limit from that opinion was 9,000 fish 
annually. NMFS will continue to monitor and collect data to analyze 
take levels. NMFS also reaffirmed its prior determination that 
implementation of the Groundfish FMP is not likely to jeopardize the 
continued existence of any of the affected ESUs.
    Lower Columbia River coho (70 FR 37160, June 28, 2005) and the 
Southern Distinct Population Segment (DPS) of green sturgeon (71 FR 
17757, April 7, 2006) were recently listed as threatened under the ESA. 
As a consequence, NMFS has reinitiated its Section 7 consultation on 
the Council's Groundfish FMP. After reviewing the available 
information, NMFS concluded that, in keeping with Section 7(a)(2) of 
the ESA, allowing the fishery to continue under this action FMP would 
not result in any irreversible or irretrievable commitment of resources 
that would have the effect of foreclosing the formulation or 
implementation of any reasonable and prudent alternative measures.
    Pursuant to Executive Order 13175, this action was developed after 
meaningful consultation and collaboration with tribal officials from 
the area covered by the FMP. Under the Magnuson-Stevens Act at 16 
U.S.C. 1852(b)(5), one of the voting members of the Council must be a 
representative of an Indian tribe with federally recognized fishing 
rights from the area of the Council's jurisdiction. In addition, 
regulations implementing the FMP establish a procedure by which the 
tribes with treaty fishing rights in the area covered by the FMP 
request new allocations or regulations specific to the tribes, in 
writing, before the first of the two meetings at which the Council 
considers groundfish management measures. The regulations at 50 CFR 
660.324(d) further state ``the Secretary will develop tribal 
allocations and regulations under this paragraph in consultation with 
the affected tribe(s) and, insofar as possible, with tribal 
consensus.'' The tribal management measures in this final 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 final rule.

    Groundfish Conservation Area or GCA means a geographic area defined 
by coordinates expressed in degrees latitude and longitude, wherein 
fishing by a particular gear type or types may be prohibited. GCAs are 
created and enforced for the purpose of contributing to the rebuilding 
of overfished West Coast groundfish species. Regulations at Sec.  
660.390 define coordinates for these polygonal GCAs: Yelloweye Rockfish 
Conservation Areas, Cowcod Conservation Areas, waters encircling the 
Farallon Islands, and waters encircling the Cordell Banks. GCAs also 
include Rockfish Conservation Areas or RCAs, which are areas closed to 
fishing by particular gear types, bounded by lines approximating 
particular depth contours. RCA boundaries may and do change seasonally 
according to the different conservation needs of the different 
overfished species. Regulations at Sec. Sec.  660.390 through 660.394 
define RCA boundary lines with latitude/longitude coordinates; 
regulations at Tables 3-5 of Part 660 set RCA seasonal boundaries. 
Fishing prohibitions associated with GCAs are in addition to those

5. In Sec.  660.320, paragraphs (a)(2) and (f) are revised to read as 
follows:


Sec.  660.320  Allocations.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (2) Open access allocation. The allocation for the open access 
fishery is derived by applying the open access allocation percentage to 
the annual harvest guideline or quota after subtracting any 
recreational fishery estimates or tribal allocations. For management 
areas where quotas or harvest guidelines for a stock are not fully 
utilized, no separate allocation will be established for the open 
access fishery until it is projected that the allowable catch for a 
species will be reached.
* * * * *
    (f) Recreational fisheries. Recreational fishing for groundfish is 
outside the scope of, and not affected by, the regulations governing 
limited entry and open access fisheries. Certain amounts of groundfish 
may be specifically allocated to the recreational fishery, and will be 
estimated prior to dividing the commercial allocation between the 
commercial limited entry and open access fisheries.

0
6. In Sec.  660.322, paragraph (e) is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.322  Sablefish allocations.

* * * * *
    (e) Ratios between tiers for sablefish-endorsed limited entry 
permits. 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.

0
7. In Sec.  660.323, paragraphs (a)(2), (b) introductory text, (b)(3), 
(b)(4), (d), and (e) are revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.323  Pacific whiting allocations, allocation attainment, and 
inseason allocation reapportionment.

* * * * *
    (a) * * *
    (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 shore-based sector. No more than 5 percent of the shore-based 
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. 
Specific sector allocations for a given calendar year are found in 
tables 1a and 2a of this subpart.
    (b) Reaching an allocation. If the whiting harvest guideline, 
commercial harvest guideline, or a sector's allocation is reached, or 
is projected to be reached, the following action(s) for the applicable 
sector(s) may be taken as provided under paragraph (e) of this section 
and will remain in effect until additional amounts are made available 
the next calendar year or under paragraph (c) of this section.
* * * * *
    (3) Shore-based sector coastwide. Whiting may not be taken and 
retained, possessed, or landed by a catcher vessel participating in the 
shore-based sector except as authorized under a trip limit specified 
under Sec.  660.370(c).
    (4) Shore-based south of 42[deg] N. lat. If 5 percent of the shore-
based allocation for whiting is taken and retained south of 42[deg] N. 
lat. before the primary season for the shore-based sector begins north 
of 42[deg] N. lat., then a trip limit specified under Sec.  660.370(c) 
may be implemented south of 42[deg] N. lat. until the northern primary 
season begins, at which time the southern primary season would resume.
* * * * *
    (d) Estimates. Estimates of the amount of whiting harvested will be 
based on actual amounts harvested, projections of amounts that will be 
harvested, or a combination of the two. Estimates of the amount of 
Pacific whiting that will be used by shore-based processors by the end 
of the calendar year will be based on the best information available to 
the Regional Administrator from state catch and landings data, the 
testimony received at Council meetings, and/or other relevant 
information.
    (e) Announcements. The Regional Administrator will announce in the 
Federal Register when a harvest guideline, commercial harvest 
guideline, or an allocation of whiting is reached, or is projected to 
be reached, specifying the appropriate action being taken under 
paragraph (b) of this section. The Regional Administrator will announce 
in the Federal Register any reapportionment of surplus whiting to 
others sectors on September 15, or as soon as practicable thereafter. 
In order to prevent exceeding the limits or to avoid underutilizing the 
resource, prohibitions against further taking and retaining, receiving, 
or at-sea processing of whiting, or reapportionment of surplus whiting 
may be made effective immediately by actual notice to fishers and 
processors, by e-mail, internet (www.nwr.noaa.gov/Groundfish-Halibut/
Groundfish-Fishery-

[[Page 78655]]

Management/Whiting-Management/index.cfm), phone, fax, letter, press 
release, and/or USCG Notice to Mariners (monitor channel 16 VHF), 
followed by publication in the Federal Register, in which instance 
public comment will be sought for a reasonable period of time 
thereafter.

* * * * *
    (g) Fishing under this section and Sec.  660.385 by a member of a 
Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe within their usual and accustomed 
fishing area is not subject to the provisions of other sections of this 
subpart.
    (h) Any member of a Pacific Coast treaty Indian tribe must comply 
with this section and Sec.  660.385, and with any applicable tribal law 
and regulation, when participating in a tribal groundfish fishery 
described in paragraph (d) of this section.
* * * * *
    (j) Black rockfish. Harvest guidelines for commercial harvests of 
black rockfish by members of the Pacific Coast Indian tribes using hook 
and line gear will be established biennially for two subsequent one-
year periods for the areas between the U.S.-Canadian 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.), in 
accordance with the procedures for implementing harvest specifications 
and management measures. Pacific Coast treaty Indians fishing for black 
rockfish in these areas under these harvest guidelines are subject to 
the provisions in this section Sec. Sec.  660.321 and 660.385, and not 
to the restrictions in other sections of this part.

9. Section Sec.  660.365 is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.365  Overfished species rebuilding plans.

    For each overfished groundfish stock with an approved rebuilding 
plan, this section contains the standards to be used to establish 
annual or biennial OYs, specifically the target date for rebuilding the 
stock to its MSY level and the harvest control rule to be used to 
rebuild the stock. The harvest control rule is expressed as a 
``Spawning Potential Ratio'' or ``SPR'' harvest rate.
    (a) Bocaccio. The target year for rebuilding the southern bocaccio 
stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2026. The harvest control rule to be used 
to rebuild the southern bocaccio stock is an annual SPR harvest rate of 
77.7 percent.
    (b) Canary rockfish. The target year for rebuilding the canary 
rockfish stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2063. The harvest control rule to 
be used to rebuild the canary rockfish stock is an annual SPR harvest 
rate of 88.7 percent.
    (c) Cowcod. The target year for rebuilding the cowcod stock south 
of Point Conception to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2039. The harvest control 
rule to be used to rebuild the cowcod stock is an annual SPR harvest 
rate of 90.0 percent.
    (d) Darkblotched rockfish. The target year for rebuilding the 
darkblotched rockfish stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2011. The harvest 
control rule to be used to rebuild the darkblotched rockfish stock is 
an annual SPR harvest rate of 64.1 percent in 2007 and 60.7 percent 
beginning in 2008.
    (e) Pacific ocean perch (POP). The target year for rebuilding the 
POP stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2017. The harvest control rule to be 
used to rebuild the POP stock is an annual SPR harvest rate of 86.4 
percent.
    (f) Widow rockfish. The target year for rebuilding the widow 
rockfish stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2015. The harvest control rule to 
be used to rebuild the widow rockfish stock is an annual SPR harvest 
rate of 95.0 percent.
    (g) Yelloweye rockfish. The target year for rebuilding the 
yelloweye rockfish stock to B<INF>MSY</INF> is 2084. The harvest 
control rule to be used to rebuild the yelloweye rockfish stock is an 
annual SPR harvest rate is 55.4 in 2007 and 60.8 in 2008. Yelloweye 
rockfish is subject to a ramp-down strategy where the harvest level 
will be reduced from current levels until 2011. Beginning in 2011, 
yelloweye rockfish will be subject to a constant harvest rate strategy 
with a constant SPR harvest rate of 71.9 percent.

10. In Sec.  660.370, paragraphs (c)(1)(iii), and (h)(5)(iv)(C) are 
added, and paragraphs (d), (h)(5)(i) introductory text, (h)(5)(iv)(A) 
and (B), (h)(6) introductory text, (h)(8)(iv)(A) and (B), (h)(8)(v) and 
(vi) are revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.370  Specifications and management measures.

* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (iii) Type of limited entry trawl gear on board. Limits on the type 
of limited entry trawl gear on board a vessel may be imposed on a 
biennial or more frequent basis. Requirements and restrictions on 
limited entry trawl gear type are found at Sec.  660.381.
* * * * *
    (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. An automatic action is also used in the Pacific whiting 
fishery to implement the Ocean Salmon Conservation Zone, described at 
660.373(c)(3), when NMFS projects the Pacific whiting fishery may take 
in excess of 11,000 Chinook within a calendar year.
* * * * *
    (h) * * *
    (5) * * *
    (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. Washington state regulations 
require all fish with a size limit landed into Washington to be landed 
with the head on.
* * * * *
    (iv) * * *
    (A) North of 42[deg] N. lat., for lingcod with the head removed, 
the minimum

[[Page 78656]]

size limit is 18 inches (46 cm), which corresponds to 22 inches (56 cm) 
total length for whole fish.
    (B) South of 42[deg] N. lat., 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.
    (C) 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:
* * * * *
    (8) * * *
    (iv) * * *
    (A) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish north of 
40[deg]10' N. lat., that vessel is also permitted to take and retain, 
possess or land splitnose rockfish up to its cumulative limit south of 
40[deg]10' N. lat., even if splitnose rockfish were a part of the 
landings from minor slope rockfish taken and retained north of 
40[deg]10' N. lat.
    (B) If a vessel takes and retains minor slope rockfish south of 
40[deg]10' 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' N. 
lat., even if POP were a part of the landings from minor slope rockfish 
taken and retained south of 40[deg]10' N. lat.
* * * * *
    (v) ``DTS complex.'' There are often differential trawl trip limits 
for the ``DTS complex'' north and south of latitudinal management 
lines. 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 often 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 latitudinal management lines. 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.

read as follows:


Sec.  660.372  Fixed gear sablefish fishery management.

* * * * *
    (b) * * *
    (1) Season dates. North of 36[deg] N. lat., the primary sablefish 
season for the limited entry, fixed gear, sablefish-endorsed 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 through 
the routine management measures process described at Sec.  660.370(c).
* * * * *
    (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 this paragraph for the tiers for those permits, except as 
limited by paragraph (b)(3)(ii) 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. The following annual 
limits are in effect: Tier 1 at 48,500 lb (21,999 kg), Tier 2 at 22,000 
lb (9,979 kg), and Tier 3 at 12,500 lb (5,670 kg).

(b)(2), (b)(3) introductory text, (b)(4), (c)(1) and (c)(2), and (d) 
are revised and paragraph (c)(3) is added to read as follows:


Sec.  660.373  Pacific whiting (whiting) fishery management.

    (a) Sectors. The catcher/processor sector is composed of catcher/
processors, which are vessels that harvest and process whiting during a 
calendar year. The mothership sector is composed of motherships and 
catcher vessels that harvest whiting for delivery to motherships. 
Motherships are vessels that process, but do not harvest, whiting 
during a calendar year. The shore-based sector is composed of vessels 
that harvest whiting for delivery to shore-based processors.
    (b) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (iii) 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. The primary seasons for the whiting fishery are as 
follows:
* * * * *
    (2) South of 40[deg]30' N. lat. The primary season starts on April 
15 south of 40[deg]30' N. lat.
    (3) 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 3 of this subpart, and is a routine 
management measure under Sec.  660.370(c). This trip limit includes any 
whiting caught shoreward of 100-fm (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:
* * * * *
    (4) Bycatch limits in the whiting fishery. The bycatch limits for 
the whiting fishery may be used inseason to close a sector or sectors 
of the whiting fishery to achieve the rebuilding of an overfished or 
depleted stock, under routine management measure authority at Sec.  
660.370 (c)(1)(ii). These limits are routine management measures under 
Sec.  660.370 (c) and, as such, may be adjusted inseason or may have 
new species added to the list of those with bycatch limits. The whiting 
fishery bycatch limits for the sectors identified Sec.  660.323(a) are 
4.7 mt of canary rockfish, 200 mt of widow rockfish, and 25 mt of 
darkblotched rockfish.

surrounding the Columbia River mouth bounded by a line extending for 6 
nm due west from North Head along 46[deg]18' N. lat. to 124[deg]13.30' 
W. long., then southerly along a line of 167 True to 46[deg]11.10' N. 
lat. and 124[deg]11' W. long. (Columbia River Buoy), then northeast 
along Red Buoy Line to the tip of the south jetty.
    (3) Ocean Salmon Conservation Zone. All waters shoreward of a 
boundary line approximating the 100-fm (183-m) depth contour. Latitude 
and longitude coordinates defining the boundary line approximating the 
100 fm (183 m) depth contour are provided at Sec.  660.393(a).
    (d) Whiting trip limits. No more than 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) of 
whiting may be taken and retained, possessed, or landed by a vessel 
that, at any time during a fishing trip, fished in the fishery 
management area shoreward of the 100-fm (183-m) contour (as shown on 
NOAA Charts 18580, 18600, and 18620) in the Eureka management area 
(defined at Sec.  660.302).

13. In Sec.  660.381, paragraphs (a), (b)(3), (d)(3), and (d)(4)(i) and 
(ii) are revised ; and paragraph (d)(5) 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 660.399). The trawl fishery 
has gear requirements and trip limits that differ by the type of trawl 
gear on board and the area fished. 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) * * *
    (3) Chafing gear. Chafing gear may encircle no more than 50 percent 
of the net's circumference. No section of chafing gear may be longer 
than 50 meshes of the net to which it is attached. Chafing gear may be 
used only on the last 50 meshes, measured from the terminal (closed) 
end of the codend. Except at the corners, the terminal end of each 
section of chafing gear on all trawl 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.
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (3) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited 
in waters of depths less than 100-fm (183-m) around Cordell Banks as 
defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec.  
660.390.
    (4) * * *
    (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 
and for vessels fishing with demersal seine gear between 38[deg] N. 
lat. and 36[deg] N. lat. shoreward of a boundary line approximating the 
100-fm (183-m) depth contour as defined at Sec.  660.393. 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.
* * * * *
    (5) Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas. The Essential Fish 
Habitat Conservation Areas (EFHCAs) are closed areas, defined by 
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. Sec.  660.396 
through 660.399, where specified types of fishing are prohibited. 
Prohibitions applying to specific EFHCAs are found at Sec.  660.306.

14. In Sec.  660.382, paragraphs (a) and (c) are revised to read as 
follows:


Sec.  660.382  Limited entry fixed gear fishery management measures.

    (a) General. Most species taken in limited entry fixed gear 
(longline and pot/trap) fisheries will be managed with cumulative trip 
limits (see trip limits in Tables 4 (North) and 4 (South) of this 
subpart), size limits (see Sec.  660.370(h)(5)), seasons (see trip 
limits in Tables 4 (North) and 4 (South) of this subpart and primary 
sablefish season details in Sec.  660.372(b)), gear restrictions (see 
paragraph (b) of this section), and closed areas (see paragraph (c) of 
this section and Sec. Sec.  660.390 through 660.399). Cowcod retention 
is prohibited in all fisheries and groundfish vessels operating south 
of Point Conception must adhere to CCA restrictions (see paragraph 
(c)(4) 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.

    (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) North Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the North Coast Recreational

[[Page 78658]]

Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. The North Coast Recreational YRCA is designated as an 
area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial fixed gear 
fishers.
    (2) North Coast Commercial Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the North Coast Commercial 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. Fishing with limited entry fixed gear is prohibited 
within the North Coast Commercial YRCA. It is unlawful to take and 
retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with limited entry fixed gear 
within the North Coast Commercial YRCA. Limited entry fixed gear 
vessels may transit through the North Coast Commercial YRCA with or 
without groundfish on board.
    (3) South Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the South Coast Recreational 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. The South Coast Recreational YRCA is designated as an 
area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial fixed gear 
fishers.
    (4) Cowcod Conservation Areas. The latitude and longitude 
coordinates of the Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) boundaries are 
specified at Sec.  660.390. 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. Fishing with 
limited entry fixed gear is prohibited within the CCAs, except as 
follows:
    (i) 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 two 1-lb (0.45-
kg) weights per line.
    (ii) Fishing for rockfish and lingcod is permitted shoreward of the 
20 fm (37 m) depth contour.
    (5) 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). An exception to this prohibition is 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 two 1-lb (0.45-kg) weights 
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.
    (6) 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. An exception to this 
prohibition is 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 two 1-lb (0.45-kg) weights per line. (See 
Table 4 (South) of this subpart.) For a definition of the Farallon 
Islands, see Sec.  660.390.
    (7) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited 
in waters of depths less than 100 fm (183 m) around Cordell Banks, as 
defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec.  
660.390. An exception to this prohibition is 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 two 1-lb (0.45-kg) weights 
per line.
    (8) Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas. The Essential Fish 
Habitat Conservation Areas (EFHCAs) are closed areas, defined by 
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. Sec.  660.396 
through 660.399, where specified types of fishing are prohibited. 
Prohibitions applying to specific EFHCAs are found at Sec.  660.306.

(b)(2)(i)(A), (b)(2)(iii) introductory text, (c), (d)(1)(i), (d)(2)(i), 
and (d)(3)(i) are revised to read as follows:


Sec.  660.383  Open access fishery management measures.

    (a) General. Groundfish species taken in open access fisheries will 
be managed with cumulative trip limits (see trip limits in Tables 5 
(North) and 5 (South) of this subpart), size limits (see Sec.  
660.370(h)(5)), seasons (see seasons in Tables 5 (North) and 5 (South) 
of this subpart), gear restrictions (see paragraph (b) of this 
section), and closed areas (see paragraph (c) of this section and 
Sec. Sec.  660.390 through 660.399). 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)(5) 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.

[[Page 78659]]

    (b) Gear restrictions. Open access gear is gear used to take and 
retain groundfish from a vessel that is not registered for use with a 
limited entry 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:
* * * * *
    (2) * * *
    (i) * * *
    (A) Marked at the surface, at each terminal end, with a pole, flag, 
light, radar reflector, and a buoy except as provided in paragraph 
(b)(2)(ii) of this section.
* * * * *
    (iii) A buoy used to mark fixed gear under paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A) 
or (b)(2)(ii) of this section must be marked with a number clearly 
identifying the owner or operator of the vessel. The number may be 
either:
* * * * *
    (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) North Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the North Coast Recreational 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. The North Coast Recreational YRCA is designated as an 
area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial fixed gear 
fishers.
    (2) North Coast Commercial Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the North Coast Commercial 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. Fishing with open access gear is prohibited within the 
North Coast Commercial YRCA. It is unlawful to take and retain, 
possess, or land groundfish taken with open access gear within the 
North Coast Commercial YRCA. Open access vessels may transit through 
the North Coast Commercial YRCA with or without groundfish on board.
    (3) South Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
The latitude and longitude coordinates of the South Coast Recreational 
Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified at 
Sec.  660.390. The South Coast Recreational YRCA is designated as an 
area to be avoided (a voluntary closure) by commercial fixed gear 
fishers.
    (4) Salmon Troll Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. The latitude 
and longitude coordinates of the Salmon Troll Yelloweye Rockfish 
Conservation Area (YRCA) boundaries are specified in the groundfish 
regulations at Sec.  660.390 and in the salmon regulations at Sec.  
660.405. Fishing with salmon troll gear is prohibited within the Salmon 
Troll YRCA. It is unlawful for commercial salmon troll vessels to take 
and retain, possess, or land fish taken with salmon troll gear within 
the Salmon Troll YRCA. Open access vessels may transit through the 
Salmon Troll YRCA with or without fish on board.
    (5) Cowcod Conservation Areas. The latitude and longitude 
coordinates of the Cowcod Conservation Areas (CCAs) boundaries are 
specified at Sec.  660.390. 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. Fishing with open 
access gear is prohibited in the CCAs, except as follows:
    (i) 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 two 1 lb (0.45 
kg) weights per line.
    (ii) Fishing with open access non-trawl gear for rockfish and 
lingcod is permitted shoreward of the 20 fm (37 m) depth contour.
    (6) Non-trawl Rockfish Conservation Area 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). An exception to this 
prohibition is 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 two 1 lb (0.45 kg) weights 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 or Pacific halibut with non-trawl gear, although non-trawl 
vessels on a fishing trip for species other than groundfish and Pacific 
halibut that occurs within the non-trawl RCA may not retain any 
groundfish taken on that trip (The Pacific halibut regulations at 50 
CFR 300.63(e) describe the RCA that applies to the commercial halibut 
fishery). 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 non-trawl 
RCA, 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.
    (7) Non-groundfish Trawl Rockfish Conservation Area for the open 
access non-groundfish trawl fisheries.
    (i) Fishing with any non-groundfish trawl gear in the open access 
fisheries is prohibited within the non-groundfish trawl RCA coastwide, 
except as authorized in this paragraph. Nothing in these Federal 
regulations supercedes any state regulations that may prohibit trawling 
shoreward of the 3 nm state waters boundary line. Trawlers operating in 
the open access fisheries with legal groundfish trawl gear are 
considered to be operating in the non-groundfish trawl fishery and are, 
therefore, prohibited from fishing in the non-groundfish trawl RCA. 
Coastwide, it is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land any 
species of fish taken with non-groundfish trawl gear within the non-
groundfish trawl RCA,

[[Page 78660]]

except as permitted in this paragraph for vessels participating in the 
pink shrimp and ridgeback prawn trawl fisheries. Boundaries for the 
non-groundfish 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). Non-
groundfish trawl RCA boundaries are defined by specific latitude and 
longitude coordinates which are specified below at Sec. Sec.  660.390 
through 660.394. The non-groundfish trawl RCA is closed coastwide to 
open access non-groundfish trawl fishing, except as follows:
    (A) Pink shrimp trawling is permitted in the non-groundfish trawl 
RCA, and
    (B) When the shoreward line of the non-groundfish 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 (183 m) boundary 
line specified at Sec.  660.393 (i.e., the shoreward boundary of the 
non-groundfish trawl RCA is at the 100 fm (183 m) boundary line all 
year for the ridgeback prawn trawl fishery in this area).
    (ii) If a vessel fishes in the non-groundfish trawl RCA, it may not 
participate in any fishing on that trip that is prohibited by the 
restrictions that apply within the non-groundfish 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.]
    (8) 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. An exception to this 
prohibition is 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 two 1 lb (0.45 kg) weights per line. (See 
Table 5 (South) of this subpart.) For a definition of the Farallon 
Islands, see Sec.  660.390.
    (9) Cordell Banks. Commercial fishing for groundfish is prohibited 
in waters of depths less than 100-fm (183-m) around Cordell Banks, as 
defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec.  
660.390. An exception to this prohibition is 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 two 1 lb (0.45 kg) weights 
per line.
    (10) Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas. The Essential Fish 
Habitat Conservation Areas (EFHCAs) are closed areas, defined by 
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. Sec.  660.396 
through 660.399, where specified types of fishing are prohibited. 
Prohibitions applying to specific EFHCAs are found at Sec.  660.306.

    (A) North Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
Recreational fishing for groundfish and halibut is prohibited within 
the North Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area 
(YRCA). It is unlawful for recreational fishing vessels to take and 
retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with recreational gear within 
the North Coast Recreational YRCA. A vessel fishing in the North Coast 
Recreational YRCA may not be in possession of any groundfish. 
Recreational vessels may transit through the North Coast Recreational 
YRCA with or without groundfish on board. The North Coast Recreational 
YRCA is defined by latitude and longitude coordinates specified at 
Sec.  660.390.
    (B) South Coast Recreational Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
Recreational fishing for groundfish and halibut is prohibited within 
the South Coast Recreational YRCA. It is unlawful for recreational 
fishing vessels to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken 
with recreational gear within the South Coast Recreational YRCA. A 
vessel fishing in the South Coast Recreational YRCA may not be in 
possession of any groundfish. Recreational vessels may transit through 
the South Coast Recreational YRCA with or without groundfish on board. 
The South Coast Recreational YRCA is defined by latitude and longitude 
coordinates specified at Sec.  660.390.
    (C) 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.]
    (1) Between the U.S. border with Canada and the Queets River, 
recreational fishing for groundfish is prohibited seaward of a boundary 
line approximating the 20-fm (37-m) depth contour from May 1 through 
September 30, except on days when the Pacific halibut fishery is open 
in this area. Days open to Pacific halibut recreational fishing off 
Washington are announced on the NMFS hotline at (206)526 6667 or 
(800)662 9825. Coordinates for the boundary line approximating the 20-
fm (37-m) depth contour are listed in Sec.  660.391.
    (2) Between the Queets River and Leadbetter Point, recreational 
fishing for groundfish is prohibited seaward of a boundary line 
approximating the 30-fm (55-m) depth contour in from March 17, 2007, 
through July 31, 2007, except that recreational fishing for sablefish 
and Pacific cod is permitted within the recreational RCA from May 1 
through June 15. In 2008, recreational fishing for groundfish is 
prohibited seaward of a boundary line approximating the 30-fm (55-m) 
depth contour in from March 15, 2008, through July 31, 2008, except 
that recreational fishing for sablefish and Pacific cod is permitted

    (i) Recreational Groundfish Conservation Areas off Oregon.
    (A) Stonewall Bank Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area. 
Recreational fishing for groundfish and halibut is prohibited within 
the Stonewall Bank YRCA. It is unlawful for recreational fishing 
vessels to take and retain, possess, or land groundfish taken with 
recreational gear within the Stonewall Bank YRCA. A vessel fishing in 
the Stonewall Bank YRCA may not be in possession of any groundfish. 
Recreational vessels may transit through the Stonewall Bank YRCA with 
or without groundfish on board. The Stonewall Bank 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, 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 April 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

    (C) Essential Fish Habitat Conservation Areas. The Essential Fish 
Habitat Conservation Areas (EFHCAs) are closed areas, defined by 
specific latitude and longitude coordinates at Sec. Sec.  660.396 
through 660.399, where specified types of fishing are prohibited. 
Prohibitions applying to specific EFHCAs are found at Sec.  660.306.
* * * * *
    (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 22 in (56 cm) total 
length; and 8 marine fish per day, which excludes Pacific halibut, 
salmonids, tuna, perch species, sturgeon, sanddabs, flatfish, lingcod, 
striped bass, hybrid bass, offshore pelagic species and baitfish 
(herring, smelt, anchovies and sardines), but which includes rockfish, 
greenling, cabezon and other groundfish species. The bag limit for all 
flatfish is 25 fish per day, which excludes Pacific halibut, but which 
includes all soles, flounders and Pacific sanddabs. In the Pacific 
halibut fisheries, retention of groundfish is governed in part by 
annual management measures for Pacific halibut fisheries, which are 
published in the Federal Register. Between the Oregon border with 
Washington and Cape Falcon, when Pacific halibut are onboard the 
vessel, groundfish may not be taken and retained, possessed or landed, 
except sablefish and Pacific cod. Between Cape Falcon and Humbug 
Mountain, during days open to the Oregon Central Coast ``all-depth'' 
sport halibut fishery, when Pacific halibut are onboard the vessel, no 
groundfish may be taken and retained, possessed or landed, except 
sablefish. ``All-depth'' season days are established in the annual 
management measures for Pacific halibut fisheries, which are published 
in the Federal Register and are announced on the NMFS halibut hotline, 
1 800 662 9825. 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 at all times and in all areas.
    (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.] For groundfish species not 
specifically mentioned in this paragraph, fishers are subject to the 
overall 20-fish bag limit for all species of finfish and the depth 
restrictions at paragraph (c)(3)(i) of this section. Recreational 
spearfishing for all federally-managed groundfish, except lingcod 
during January, February, March, and December, is exempt from closed 
areas and seasons, consistent with Title 14 of the California Code of 
Regulations. This exemption applies only to recreational vessels and 
divers provided no other fishing gear, except spearfishing gear, is on 
board the vessel. 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 
Hexagrammos. 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:

N. lat.: Minor nearshore rockfish, cabezon, kelp greenling, lingcod, 
California scorpionfish, and ``other flatfish'' (subject to gear 
requirements at paragraph (c)(3)(iv) of this section during January-
February). [NOTE: California state regulations also permit recreational 
fishing for California sheephead, ocean whitefish, and all greenlings 
of the genus Hexagrammos shoreward of the 20 fm (37 m) depth contour in 
the CCAs when the season for the RCG complex is open south of 
34[deg]27' N. lat.] It is unlawful to take and retain, possess, or land 
groundfish within the CCAs, except for species authorized in this 
section.

17. In Sec.  660.385, paragraphs (a), (b) introductory text, (b)(1) and 
(2), (b)(5), (d), (f), and (g) are revised; and paragraph (b)(7) is 
removed to read as follows:


Sec.  660.385  Washington coastal tribal fisheries management measures.

* * * * *
    (a) Sablefish. The tribal allocation is 561.4 mt per year. This 
allocation is, for each year, 10 percent of the Monterey through 
Vancouver area OY, less 1.9 percent estimated discard mortality.
    (b) Rockfish. The tribes will require full retention of all 
overfished rockfish species and all other marketable rockfish species 
during treaty fisheries.
    (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]09.50' N. lat.) and 10,000 lb (4,536 kg) between 
Destruction Island, WA (47[deg]40' N. lat.) and Leadbetter Point, WA 
(46[deg]38.17' N. lat.). There are no tribal harvest restrictions for 
the area between Cape Alava and Destruction Island.
    (2) Thornyheads. The tribes will manage their fisheries to the 
limited entry trip limits in place at the beginning on the year for 
both shortspine and longspine thornyheads as follows:
    (i) Trawl gear. (A) Shortspine thornyhead cumulative trip limits 
are as follows:
    (1) Small and large footrope trawl gear- 7,500-lb (3,402-kg) per 2 
months.
    (2) Selective flatfish trawl gear- 3,000-lb (1,361-kg) per 2 
months.
    (3) Multiple bottom trawl gear- 3,000-lb (1,361-kg) per 2 months.
    (B) Longspine thornyhead cumulative trip limits are as follows:
    (1) Small and large footrope trawl gear- 22,000-lb (9,979-kg) per 2 
months.
    (2) Selective flatfish trawl gear- 3,000-lb (1,361-kg) per 2 
months.
    (3) Multiple bottom trawl gear- 3,000-lb (1,361-kg) per 2 months.
    (ii) Fixed gear. (A) Shortspine thornyhead cumulative trip limits 
are 2,000-lb (907-kg) per 2 months.
    (B) Longspine thornyhead cumulative trip limits are 10,000-lb 
(4,536-kg) per 2 months.
* * * * *
    (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, provided the average 2-month cumulative yellowtail rockfish 
limit does not exceed 180,000 lb (81,647 kg) for the fleet.
* * * * *
    (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 Dover sole, English sole, rex sole, 
arrowtooth flounder, and other flatfish in place at the beginning of 
the season. For Dover sole and arrowtooth flounder, the limited entry 
trip limits in place at the beginning of the season will be combined 
across periods and the fleet to create a cumulative harvest target. The 
limits available to individual vessels will then be adjusted inseason 
to stay within the overall harvest target as well as estimated impacts 
to overfished species. For petrale sole, treaty fishing vessels are 
restricted to a 50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per 2 month limit for the entire 
year. Trawl vessels are restricted to using small footrope trawl gear.
* * * * *
    (f) Pacific cod. There is a tribal harvest guideline of 400 mt of 
Pacific cod. The tribes will manage their fisheries to stay within this 
harvest guideline.
    (g) Spiny dogfish. The tribes will manage their spiny dogfish 
fishery within the limited entry trip limits for the non-tribal 
fisheries.

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 at Sec. Sec.  
660.381 through 660.384.

    (j) Rockfish Conservation Areas. RCA restrictions are detailed at 
Sec. Sec.  660.381 through 660.384. RCAs may apply to a single gear 
type or to a group of gear types such as ``trawl RCAs'' or ``non-trawl 
RCAs.'' Specific latitude and longitude coordinates for RCA boundaries 
that approximate the depth contours selected for trawl, non-trawl, and 
recreational RCAs are provided in Sec. Sec.  660.391 through 660.394. 
Also provided in Sec. Sec.  660.391 through 660.394 are references to 
islands and rocks that serve as reference points for the RCAs.
    (1) Trawl (Limited Entry and Open Access Nongroundfish Trawl Gears) 
Rockfish Conservation Areas. Trawl RCAs are intended to protect a 
complex of species, such as overfished shelf rockfish species, and have 
boundaries defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates 
intended to approximate particular depth contours. Boundaries for the 
trawl RCA throughout the year are provided in Tables 3 and 5 (North) 
and Tables 3 and 5 (South) and may be modified by NMFS inseason 
pursuant to Sec.  660.370(c). Trawl RCA boundaries are defined by 
specific latitude and longitude coordinates and are provided in 
Sec. Sec.  660.391 through 660.394.
    (2) Non-Trawl (Limited Entry Fixed Gear and Open Access Non-trawl 
Gears) Rockfish Conservation Areas. Non-trawl RCAs are intended to 
protect a complex of species, such as overfished shelf rockfish 
species, and have boundaries defined by specific latitude and longitude 
coordinates intended to approximate particular depth contours. 
Boundaries for the non-trawl RCA throughout the year are provided in 
Tables 4 and 5 (North) and Tables 4 and 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 and are provided in Sec. Sec.  660.391 through 660.394.
    (3) Recreational Rockfish Conservation Areas. Recreational RCAs are 
closed areas intended to protect overfished rockfish species. 
Recreational RCAs may either have boundaries defined by general depth 
contours or boundaries defined by specific latitude and longitude 
coordinates intended to approximate

[[Page 78665]]

particular depth contours. Boundaries for the recreational RCAs 
throughout the year are provided in the text in Sec.  660.384(c) under 
each state (Washington, Oregon and California) and may be modified by 
NMFS inseason pursuant to Sec.  660.370. Recreational RCA boundaries 
are defined by specific latitude and longitude coordinates and are 
provided in Sec. Sec.  660.391 through 660.394.

a/ ABCs apply to the U.S. portion of the Vancouver area.
b/ Optimum Yields (OYs) and Harvest Guidelines (HGs) are specified as
  total catch values. Though presented as harvest guidelines, the
  recreational values for widow rockfish, bocaccio, and cowcod are catch
  estimates. A harvest guideline is a specified harvest target and not a
  quota. The use of this term may differ from the use of similar terms
  in state regulation.
c/ Lingcod- A coastwide lingcod stock assessment was prepared in 2005.
  The lingcod biomass was estimated to be at 64 percent of its unfished
  biomass in 2005. The ABC was calculated using an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>45%</INF>.
  The ABC of 6,280 mt is a two year average ABC for 2007 and 2008.
  Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be set equal
  to the ABC. Separate OYs are being adopted for the area north of
  42[deg] N. lat. and the area south of 42[deg] N. lat. For that portion
  of the stock north of 42[deg] N. lat. the OY of 5,558 mt is set equal
  to the ABC contribution for the area. The biomass in the area south of
  42[deg] N. lat. is estimated to be at 24 percent of the unfished
  biomass. As a precautionary measure, the OY for the southern portion
  of the stock is being set at 612 mt, which is lower than the ABC
  contribution for the area. An OY of 612 mt (equivalent to the 2006 OY)
  is expected to result in a biomass increase for the southern portion
  of the stock. The tribes do not have a specific allocation at this
  time, but are expected to take 30 mt of the commercial HG.
d/ ''Other species'', these species are neither common nor important to
  the commercial and recreational fisheries in the areas footnoted.
  Accordingly, these species are included in the harvest guidelines of
  ''other fish'', ''other rockfish'' or ''remaining rockfish''.
e/ Pacific Cod - The 3,200 mt ABC for the Vancouver-Columbia area is
  based on historical landings data. The 1,600 mt OY is the ABC reduced
  by 50 percent as a precautionary adjustment. A tribal harvest
  guideline of 400 mt is deducted from the OY resulting in a commercial
  OY of 1,200 mt.

[[Page 78704]]

 
f/ Pacific whiting - Final adoption of the Pacific whiting ABC and OY
  have been deferred until the Council's March 2007 meeting. Therefore,
  table 1a contains the ABC and OY range considered in the EIS and under
  the proposed rule. It is anticipated that a new assessment will be
  available in early 2007 and the results will be used to set the 2007
  ABC and OY. The final ABC and OY will be published as a separate
  action following the Council's recommendation at its March 2007
  meeting.
g/ Sablefish - A coastwide sablefish stock assessment was prepared in
  2005. The coastwide sablefish biomass was estimated to be at 35.2
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. Projections indicate that the
  biomass is increasing and will be near 42 percent of its unfished
  biomass by 2008. The coastwide ABC of 6,210 mt was based on the base-
  case assessment model with a F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>45%</INF>. The coastwide OY of
  5,934 mt is based on the application of the 40-10 harvest policy and
  is a two year average OY for 2007 and 2008. To apportion fishery
  allocations for the area north of 36[deg] N. lat., 96.45 percent of
  the coastwide OY (5,723 mt) is attributed to the northern area. The
  tribal allocation for the area north of 36[deg] N. lat. is 572 mt (10
  percent of the OY north of 36[deg] N. lat), which is further reduced
  by 1.9 percent (10.9 mt) for discards. The tribal landed catch value
  is 561.4 mt.
h/ Cabezon was assessed south of 42[deg] N. lat. in 2005. In 2005, the
  stock was estimated to be at 40 percent of its unfished biomass north
  of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. and 28 percent of its unfished biomass south of
  34[deg] 27' N. lat. The biomass is projected to be increasing in the
  northern area and decreasing in the southern area. The ABC of 94 mt
  (71 mt for the northern portion of the stock and 23 mt for the
  southern portion of the stock) is based on the new assessment with a
  harvest rate proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 69 mt is a constant harvest
  level that is consistent with the application of a 60-20 harvest rate
  policy specified in the California Nearshore Management Plan.
i/ Dover sole was assessed north of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. in 2005. The
  Dover sole biomass was estimated to be at 59.8 percent of its unfished
  biomass in 2005 and is projected to be increasing. The ABC of 28,522
  mt is based on the results of the 2005 assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy
  of F<INF>40%</INF>. Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be
  set equal to the ABC. The OY of 16,500 mt, which is less than the ABC,
  is the MSY harvest level and is considerably larger than the coastwide
  catches in any recent years.
j/ A coastwide English sole stock assessment was prepared in 2005 and
  the stock was estimated to be at 91.5 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005, but the stock biomass is believed to be declining. The ABC of
  6,237 is a 2007-2008 two year average ABC based on the the results of
  the 2005 assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>40%</INF>. Because the stock is
  above B<INF>40%</INF>, the OY was set equal to the ABC.
k/ A petrale sole stock assessment was prepared for 2005. In 2005 the
  petrale sole stock coastwide was estimated to be at 32 percent of its
  unfished biomass (34 percent in the northern assessment area and 29
  percent in the southern assessment area). The petrale sole biomass is
  believed to be increasing. The ABC of 2,917 mt is based on the new
  assessment with a F<INF>40%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. To derive the OY, the 40-10 harvest
  policy was applied to the ABC for both the northern and southern
  assessment areas. As a precautionary measure, an additional 25 percent
  reduction was made in the OY contribution for the southern area due to
  assessment uncertainty. The OY of 2,499 mt is the average coastwide OY
  value for 2007 and 2008.
l/ Arrowtooth flounder was last assessed in 1993 and was estimated to be
  above 40 percent of its unfished biomass, therefore the OY will be set
  equal to the ABC.
m/ Starry Flounder was assessed for the first time in 2005 and was
  estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005 (44
  percent for the northern stock off Washington and Oregon, and 62
  percent for the southern stock of California). The starry flounder
  biomass is believed to be declining, and will be below B<INF>40%</INF>. The
  starry flounder assessment was considered to be a data-poor assessment
  relative to other groundfish assessments. For 2007, the coastwide ABC
  of 1,221 mt is based on the new assessment with a F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>40%</INF>
  and is an average ABC for 2007 and 2008. Because the stock is believed
  to be above B<INF>40%</INF>, the OY could be set equal to the ABC. To derive the
  OY, the 40-10 harvest policy was applied to the ABC for both the
  northern and southern assessment areas then an additional 25 percent
  reduction was made due to assessment uncertainty. Starry flounder was
  previously managed as part of the ''other flatfish'' category. The OY
  of 890 mt is the average coastwide OY value for 2007 and 2008.
n/ ''Other flatfish'' are those flatfish species that do not have
  individual ABC/OYs and include butter sole, curlfin sole, flathead
  sole, Pacific sand dab, rex sole, rock sole, and sand sole. Starry
  flounder was assessed in 2005 and is being removed from other flatfish
  complex beginning in 2007. The ABC is based on historical catch
  levels. The ABC of 6,731 mt is based on the highest landings for
  sanddabs (1995) and rex sole (1982) for the 1981-2003 period and on
  the average landings from the 1994-1998 period for the remaining other
  flatfish species. The OY of 4,884 mt is based on the ABC with a 25
  percent precautionary adjustment for sanddabs and rex sole and a 50
  percent precautionary adjustment for the remaining species.
o/ A POP stock assessment was prepared in 2005 and the stock was
  estimated to be at 23.4 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  ABC of 900 mt for the Vancouver-Columbia area was projected from the
  2005 stock assessment and is based on an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of
  150 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuild of
  2017 and an SPR harvest rate of 86.4 percent. The OY is reduced by 3.6
  mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
p/ Shortbelly rockfish remains an unexploited stock and is difficult to
  assess quantitatively. A 1989 stock assessment provided two
  alternative yield calculations of 13,900 mt and 47,000 mt. NMFS
  surveys have shown poor recruitment in most years since 1989,
  indicating low recent productivity and a naturally declining
  population in spite of low fishing pressure. The ABC and OY are
  therefore set at the low end of the range projected in the stock
  assessment, 13,900 mt.
q/ Widow rockfish was assessed in 2005 and was estimated to be at 31.1
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2004. The ABC of 5,334 mt is based
  on an F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The OY of 368 mt is based on a rebuilding plan
  with a target year to rebuild of 2015 and an SPR rate of 95 percent.
  The OY is reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be taken
  during research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch about
  46.1 mt of widow rockfish in 2007, but do not have a specific
  allocation at this time. For the Pacific whiting fishery, 200 mt is
  being set aside and will be managed with bycatch limits.
r/ A canary rockfish stock assessment was completed in 2005 and the
  stock was estimated to be at 9.4 percent of its unfished biomass
  coastwide in 2005. The coastwide ABC of 172 mt is based on a F<INF>MSY</INF>
  proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 44 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a
  target year to rebuild of 2063 and an SPR harvest rate of 88.7
  percent. The OY is reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be
  taken during research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch
  about 5 mt of canary rockfish under the 2007 commercial HG, but do not
  have a specific allocation at this time. South of 42[deg] N. lat., the
  canary rockfish recreational fishery HG is 9.0 mt and north of 42[deg]
  N. lat., the canary rockfish recreational fishery HG 8.2 mt.
s/ Chilipepper rockfish was last assessed in 1998. The ABC (2,700 mt)
  for the Monterey-Conception area is based on a three year average
  projection from 1999-2001 with a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. Because the unfished
  biomass is estimated to be above 40 percent the unfished biomass, the
  default OY could be set equal to the ABC. However, the OY is set at
  2,000 mt to discourage fishing on chilipepper, which is taken with
  bocaccio. Management measures to constrain the harvest of overfished
  species have reduced the availability of chilipepper rockfish to the
  fishery during the past several years. Because the harvest assumptions
  (from the most recent stock assessment) used to forecast future
  harvest were likely overestimates, carrying the previously used ABCs
  and OYs forward into 2007 was considered to be conservative and based
  on the best available data. Open access is allocated 44.3 percent (886
  mt) of the commercial HG and limited entry is allocated 55.7 percent
  (1,114 mt) of the commercial HG.
t/ A bocaccio stock assessment update and a rebuilding analysis were
  prepared in 2005. The bocaccio stock was estimated to be at 10.7
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The ABC of 602 mt for the
  Monterey and Conception areas is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The OY of
  218 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuild of
  2026 and a SPR harvest rate of 77.7 percent. The OY is reduced by 3.0
  mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
u/ Splitnose rockfish - The ABC is 615 mt in the southern area (Monterey-
  Conception). The 461 mt OY for the southern area reflects a 25 percent
  precautionary adjustment because of the less rigorous stock assessment
  for this stock. Because the harvest assumptions used to forecast
  future harvest were likely overestimates, carrying the previously used
  ABCs and OYs forward into 2007 was considered to be conservative and
  based on the best available data.
v/ Yellowtail rockfish - A yellowtail rockfish stock assessment was
  prepared in 2005 for the Vancouver-Columbia-Eureka areas. Yellowtail
  rockfish was estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005. The ABC of 4,548 mt is a 2 year average ABC for 2007 and 2008
  and is based on the 2005 stock assessment with the F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>.
  The OY of 4,548 mt was set equal to the ABC, because the stock is
  above the precautionary threshold of B<INF>40%</INF>. Tribal vessels are
  estimated to catch about 539 mt of yellowtail rockfish in 2007, but do
  not have a specific allocation at this time.

[[Page 78705]]

 
w/ Shortspine thornyhead was assessed coastwide in 2005 and the stock
  was estimated to be at 63 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  ABC of 2,476 mt is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy and is the two year
  average ABC for 2007 and 2008. For that portion of the stock (66
  percent of the biomass) north of Pt. Conception (34[deg] 27' N. lat.),
  the OY of 1,634 mt was set at equal to the ABC because the stock is
  estimated to be above the precautionary threshold. For that portion of
  the stock south of Pt. Conception (34 percent of the biomass), the OY
  of 421 mt was the portion of the ABC for the area reduced by 50
  percent as a precautionary adjustment due to the short duration and
  amount of survey data for that area. Tribal vessels are estimated to
  catch about 13 mt of shortspine thornyhead in 2007, but do not have a
  specific allocation at this time.
x/ Longspine thornyhead was assessed coastwide in 2005 and the stock was
  estimated to be at 71 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  coastwide ABC of 3,907 mt is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy and is the two
  year average OY for the 2007 and 2008 period. The OY is set equal to
  the ABC because the stock is above the precautionary threshold.
  Separate OYs are being established for the areas north and south of
  34[deg] 27' N. lat. (Point Conception). The OY for that portion of the
  stock in the northern area (79 percent)is set equal to the ABC. For
  that portion of the stock in the southern area (21 percent), the OY of
  476 mt was the portion of the ABC for the area reduced by 25 percent
  as a precautionary adjustment due to the short duration and amount of
  survey data for that area.
y/ Cowcod in the Conception area was assessed in 2005 and was estimated
  to be between 14 and 21 percent of its unfished biomass. The ABC of in
  the area south of 36[deg] N. lat., the Conception area, is 17 mt and
  is based on the 2005 stock assessment with a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The ABC
  for the Monterey area (19 mt) is based on average landings from 1993-
  1997. A OY of 4 mt is being set for the combined areas. The OY is
  based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuilding of 2039
  and an SPR harvest rate 90 percent. The OY is reduced by 0.1 mt for
  the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
z/ Darkblotched rockfish was assessed in 2005 and was estimated to be at
  16 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The ABC is projected to be
  456 mt and is based on the 2005 stock assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of
  F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 290 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target
  year to rebuild of 2011 and an SPR harvest rate of 64.1 percent in
  2007. The OY is reduced by 3.8 mt for the amount anticipated to be
  taken during research activity.
aa/ Yelloweye rockfish was assessed in 2006 and is estimated to be at
  17.7 percent of its unfished biomass coastwide. The 26 mt coastwide
  ABC is based on the new stock assessment and an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>.
  The 23 mt OY is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to
  rebuild of 2084 an SPR harvest rate of 55.4 percent in 2007. The OY is
  reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during
  research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch 2.3 mt of
  yelloweye rockfish of the commercial HG in 2007, but do not have a
  specific allocation at this time. South of 42[deg] N. lat. the
  yelloweye rockfish recreational fishery HG is 2.1 mt and north of
  42[deg] N. lat. the yelloweye rockfish recreational fishery HG 6.8 mt.
bb/ California Scorpionfish south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. was assessed in
  2005 and was estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005. The ABC of 219 mt is based on the new assessment with a
  harvest rate proxy of F<INF>50%</INF> and is an average ABC for 2007 and 2008.
  Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be set equal
  to the ABC. The OY of 175 mt, which is lower than the ABC, reflects
  the highest historical catch levels.
cc/ Black rockfish was last assessed in 2003 for the Columbia and Eureka
  area and in 2000 for the Vancouver area. The ABC for the area north of
  46[deg]16' N. lat. is 540 mt and the ABC for the area south of
  46[deg]16' N. lat. is 722 mt which is the average ABC for the 2007 and
  2008 period. Because of an overlap in the assessed areas between Cape
  Falcon and the Columbia River, projections from the 2000 stock
  assessment were adjusted downward by 12 percent to account for the
  overlap. The ABCs were derived using an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. Because
  the unfished biomass is estimated to be above 40 percent, the OYs were
  set equal to the ABCs. For the area north of 46[deg]16' N. lat., the
  OY is 540 mt. The following tribal harvest guidelines are being set:
  20,000 lb (9.1 mt) north of Cape Alava, WA (48[deg] 09.50' N. lat.)
  and 10,000 lb (4.5 mt) between Destruction Island, WA (47[deg] 40' N.
  lat.) and Leadbetter Point, WA (46[deg] 38.17' N. lat.). For the area
  south of 46[deg]16' N. lat., the OY is 722 mt. The black rockfish OY
  in the area south of 46[deg]16' N. lat., is subdivided with separate
  HGs being set for the area north of 42[deg] N. lat (419 mt/58 percent)
  and for the area south of 42[deg] N. lat (303 mt/42 percent). For the
  southern area north of 42[deg] N. lat., a range is presented for the
  recreational estimate (289-350 mt) and comercial HG (91 -111 mt).
  Specific values will be specified in the final rule. Of the 303 mt of
  black rockfish attributed to the area south of 42[deg] N. lat., 168 mt
  is estimated to be taken in the recreational fisheries, resulting in a
  commercial HG of 135 mt.
dd/ Minor rockfish north includes the ''remaining rockfish'' and ''other
  rockfish'' categories in the Vancouver, Columbia, and Eureka areas
  combined. These species include ''remaining rockfish'', which
  generally includes species that have been assessed by less rigorous
  methods than stock assessments, and ''other rockfish'', which includes
  species that do not have quantifiable stock assessments. The ABC of
  3,680 mt is the sum of the individual ''remaining rockfish'' ABCs plus
  the ''other rockfish'' ABCs. The remaining rockfish ABCs continues to
  be reduced by 25 percent (F=0.75M) as a precautionary adjustment. To
  obtain the total catch OY of 2,270 mt, the remaining rockfish ABC was
  reduced by 25 percent and other rockfish ABC was reduced by 50
  percent. This was a precautionary measure to address limited stock
  assessment information. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch about 38
  mt of minor rockfish in 2007, but do not have a specific allocation at
  this time.
ee/ Minor rockfish south includes the ''remaining rockfish'' and ''other
  rockfish'' categories in the Monterey and Conception areas combined.
  These species include ''remaining rockfish'' which generally includes
  species that have been assessed by less rigorous methods than stock
  assessment, and ''other rockfish'' which includes species that do not
  have quantifiable stock assessments. The ABC of 3,403 mt is the sum of
  the individual ''remaining rockfish'' ABCs plus the ''other rockfish''
  ABCs. California scorpionfish is being removed from this category in
  2007. Gopher rockfish is being moved from the ''other rockfish'' group
  to the remaining rockfish group in 2007. The remaining rockfish ABCs
  continue to be reduced by 25 percent (F=0.75M) as a precautionary
  adjustment. The remaining rockfish ABCs are further reduced by 25
  percent, with the exception of blackgill rockfish (see footnote gg).
  The other rockfish ABCs were reduced by 50 percent. This was a
  precautionary measure due to limited stock assessment information. The
  resulting minor rockfish OY is 1,904 mt.
ff/ Bank rockfish - The ABC is 350 mt which is based on a 2000 stock
  assessment for the Monterey and Conception areas. This stock
  contributes 263 mt towards the minor rockfish OY in the south.
gg/ Blackgill rockfish in the Monterey and Conception areas was assessed
  in 2005 and is estimated to be at 50.6 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005. The ABC of 292 mt for Monterey and Conception areas is based
  on the 2005 stock assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF> and is the two
  year average ABC for the 2007 and 2008 periods. This stock contributes
  292 mt towards minor rockfish south.
hh/ ''Other rockfish'' includes rockfish species listed in 50 CFR
  660.302. California scorpionfish and gopher rockfish were assessed in
  2005 and are being removed from this category. The California
  Scorpionfish contribution of 163 mt and the gopher rockfish
  contribution of 97 mt were removed from the ABC value. The ABC for the
  remaining species is based on the 1996 review of commercial Sebastes
  landings and includes an estimate of recreational landings. These
  species have never been assessed quantitatively.
ii/ ''Other fish'' includes sharks, skates, rays, ratfish, morids,
  grenadiers, kelp greenling and other groundfish species noted above in
  footnote \d\.
jj/ Sablefish allocation north of 36[deg] N. lat. - The limited entry
  allocation is further divided with 58 percent allocated to the trawl
  fishery and 42 percent allocated to the fixed-gear fishery.
kk/ Specific open access/limited entry allocations have been suspended
  during the rebuilding period as necessary to meet the overall
  rebuilding target while allowing harvest of healthy stocks.

a/ ABCs apply to the U.S. portion of the Vancouver area.
b/ Optimum Yields (OYs) and Harvest Guidelines (HGs) are specified as
  total catch values. Though presented as harvest guidelines, the
  recreational values for widow rockfish, bocaccio, and cowcod are catch
  estimates. A harvest guideline is a specified harvest target and not a
  quota. The use of this term may differ from the use of similar terms
  in state regulation.
c/ Lingcod- A coastwide lingcod stock assessment was prepared in 2005.
  The lingcod biomass was estimated to be at 64 percent of its unfished
  biomass in 2005. The ABC was calculated using an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>45%</INF>.
  The ABC of 6,280 mt is a two year average ABC for 2007 and 2008.
  Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be set equal
  to the ABC. Separate OYs are being adopted for the area north of
  42[deg] N. lat. and the area south of 42[deg] N. lat. For that portion
  of the stock north of 42[deg] N. lat. the OY of 5,558 mt is set equal
  to the ABC contribution for the area. The biomass in the area south of
  42[deg] N. lat. is estimated to be at 24 percent of the unfished
  biomass. As a precautionary measure, the OY for the southern portion
  of the stock is being set at 612 mt, which is lower than the ABC
  contribution for the area. An OY of 612 mt (equivalent to the 2006 OY)
  is expected to result in a biomass increase for the southern portion
  of the stock. The tribes do not have a specific allocation at this
  time, but are expected to take 30 mt of the commercial HG.
d/ ''Other species'', these species are neither common nor important to
  the commercial and recreational fisheries in the areas footnoted.
  Accordingly, these species are included in the harvest guidelines of
  ''other fish'', ''other rockfish'' or ''remaining rockfish''.
e/ Pacific Cod - The 3,200 mt ABC for the Vancouver-Columbia area is
  based on historical landings data. The 1,600 mt OY is the ABC reduced
  by 50 percent as a precautionary adjustment. A tribal harvest
  guideline of 400 mt is deducted from the OY resulting in a commercial
  OY of 1,200 mt.
f/ Pacific whiting - Final adoption of the Pacific whiting ABC and OY
  have been deferred until the Council's March 2008 meeting. Therefore,
  table 1a contains the ABC and OY range considered in the EIS and under
  the proposed rule. It is anticipated that a new assessment will be
  available in early 2008 and the results will be used to set the 2008
  ABC and OY. The final ABC and OY will be published as a separate
  action following the Council's recommendation at its March 2008
  meeting.
g/ Sablefish - A coastwide sablefish stock assessment was prepared in
  2005. The coastwide sablefish biomass was estimated to be at 35.2
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. Projections indicate that the
  biomass is increasing and will be near 42 percent of its unfished
  biomass by 2008. The coastwide ABC of 6,058 mt was based on the base-
  case assessment model with a F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>45%</INF>. The coastwide OY of
  5,934 mt is based on the application of the 40-10 harvest policy and
  is a two year average OY for 2007 and 2008. To apportion fishery
  allocations for the area north of 36[deg] N. lat., 96.45 percent of
  the coastwide OY (5,723 mt) is attributed to the northern area. The
  tribal allocation for the area north of 36[deg] N. lat. is 572 mt (10
  percent of the OY north of 36[deg] N. lat), which is further reduced
  by 1.9 percent (10.9 mt) for discards. The tribal landed catch value
  is 561.4 mt.

[[Page 78709]]

 
h/ Cabezon south of 42[deg] N. lat. was assessed in 2005. In 2005, the
  Cabazon stock was estimated to be at 40 percent of its unfished
  biomass north of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. and 28 percent of its unfished
  biomass south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. The stock biomass is projected to
  be increasing in the northern area and decreasing in the southern
  area. The ABC of 94 mt (71 mt for the northern portion of the stock
  and 23 mt for the southern portion of the stock) is based on a harvest
  rate proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 69 mt is a constant harvest level that
  is consistent with the application of a 60-20 harvest rate policy
  specified in the California Nearshore Management Plan.
i/ Dover sole was assessed north of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. in 2005. The
  Dover sole biomass was estimated to be at 59.8 percent of its unfished
  biomass in 2005 and is projected to be increasing. The ABC of 28,522
  mt is based on the results of the 2005 assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy
  of F<INF>40%</INF>. Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be
  set equal to the ABC. The OY of 16,500 mt, which is less than the ABC,
  is the MSY harvest level and is considerably larger than the coastwide
  catches in any recent years.
j/ A coastwide English sole stock assessment was prepared in 2005 and
  the stock was estimated to be at 91.5 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005, but the stock biomass is believed to be declining. The ABC of
  6,237 is a two year average ABC for 2007 and 2008 based on the the
  results of the 2005 assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F40%. Because the
  stock is above BF<INF>40%</INF>, the OY was set equal to the ABC.
k/ A petrale sole stock assessment was prepared for 2005. In 2005 the
  petrale sole stock coastwide was estimated to be at 32 percent of its
  unfished biomass (34 percent in the northern assessment area and 29
  percent in the southern assessment area). The petrale sole biomass is
  believed to be increasing. The ABC of 2,917 mt is based on the new
  assessment with a F<INF>40%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. To derive the OY, the 40-10 harvest
  policy was applied to the ABC for both the northern and southern
  assessment areas. As a precautionary measure, an additional 25 percent
  reduction was made in the OY contribution for the southern area due to
  assessment uncertainty. The OY of 2,499 mt is the average coastwide OY
  value for 2007 and 2008.
l/ Arrowtooth flounder was last assessed in 1993 and was estimated to be
  above 40 percent of its unfished biomass, therefore the OY will be set
  equal to the ABC.
m/ Starry Flounder was assessed for the first time in 2005 and was
  estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005 (44
  percent for the northern stock off Washington and Oregon, and 62
  percent for the southern stock of California). The starry flounder
  biomass is believed to be declining, and will be below B<INF>40%</INF>. The
  starry flounder assessment was considered to be a data-poor assessment
  relative to other groundfish assessments. For 2007, the coastwide ABC
  of 1,221 mt is based on the new assessment with a F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>40%</INF>
  and is an average ABC for 2007 and 2008. Because the stock is believed
  to be above B<INF>40%</INF>, the OY could be set equal to the ABC. To derive the
  OY, the 40-10 harvest policy was applied to the ABC for both the
  northern and southern assessment areas then an additional 25 percent
  reduction was made due to assessment uncertainty. Starry flounder was
  previously managed as part of the ''other flatfish'' category. The OY
  of 890 mt is the average coastwide OY value for 2007 and 2008.
n/ ''Other flatfish'' are those flatfish species that do not have
  individual ABC/OYs and include butter sole, curlfin sole, flathead
  sole, Pacific sand dab, rex sole, rock sole, and sand sole. Starry
  flounder was assessed in 2005 and is being removed from other flatfish
  complex beginning in 2007. The ABC is based on historical catch
  levels. The ABC of 6,731 mt is based on the highest landings for
  sanddabs (1995) and rex sole (1982) for the 1981-2003 period and on
  the average landings from the 1994-1998 period for the remaining other
  flatfish species. The OY of 4,884 mt is based on the ABC with a 25
  percent precautionary adjustment for sanddabs and rex sole and a 50
  percent precautionary adjustment for the remaining species.
o/ A POP stock assessment was prepared in 2005 and the stock was
  estimated to be at 23.4 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  ABC of 900 mt for the Vancouver-Columbia area was projected from the
  2005 stock assessment and is based on an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of
  150 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuild of
  2017 and an SPR harvest rate of 86.4 percent. The OY is reduced by 3.6
  mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
p/ Shortbelly rockfish remains an unexploited stock and is difficult to
  assess quantitatively. A 1989 stock assessment provided two
  alternative yield calculations of 13,900 mt and 47,000 mt. NMFS
  surveys have shown poor recruitment in most years since 1989,
  indicating low recent productivity and a naturally declining
  population in spite of low fishing pressure. The ABC and OY are
  therefore set at the low end of the range projected in the stock
  assessment, 13,900 mt.
q/ Widow rockfish was assessed in 2005 and was estimated to be at 31.1
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2004. The ABC of 5,334 mt is based
  on an F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The OY of 368 mt is based on a rebuilding plan
  with a target year to rebuild of 2015 and an SPR rate of 95 percent.
  The OY is reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be taken
  during research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch about
  46.1 mt of widow rockfish in 2007, but do not have a specific
  allocation at this time. For the Pacific whiting fishery, 200 mt is
  being set aside and will be managed with bycatch limits.
r/ A canary rockfish stock assessment was completed in 2005 and the
  stock was estimated to be at 9.4 percent of its unfished biomass
  coastwide in 2005. The coastwide ABC of 172 mt is based on a F<INF>MSY</INF>
  proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 44 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a
  target year to rebuild of 2063 and an SPR harvest rate of 88.7
  percent. The OY is reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be
  taken during research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch
  about 5 mt of canary rockfish under the 2007 commercial HG, but do not
  have a specific allocation at this time. South of 42[deg] N. lat., the
  canary rockfish recreational fishery HG is 9.0 mt and north of 42[deg]
  N. lat., the canary rockfish recreational fishery HG 8.2 mt.
s/ Chilipepper rockfish was last assessed in 1998. The ABC (2,700 mt)
  for the Monterey-Conception area is based on a three year average
  projection from 1999-2001 with a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. Because the unfished
  biomass is estimated to be above 40 percent the unfished biomass, the
  default OY could be set equal to the ABC. However, the OY is set at
  2,000 mt to discourage fishing on chilipepper, which is taken with
  bocaccio. Management measures to constrain the harvest of overfished
  species have reduced the availability of chilipepper rockfish to the
  fishery during the past several years. Because the harvest assumptions
  (from the most recent stock assessment) used to forecast future
  harvest were likely overestimates, carrying the previously used ABCs
  and OYs forward into 2007 was considered to be conservative and based
  on the best available data. Open access is allocated 44.3 percent (886
  mt) of the commercial HG and limited entry is allocated 55.7 percent
  (1,114 mt) of the commercial HG.
t/ A bocaccio stock assessment update and a rebuilding analysis were
  prepared in 2005. The bocaccio stock was estimated to be at 10.7
  percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The ABC of 618 mt for the
  Monterey and Conception areas is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The OY of
  218 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuild of
  2026 and a SPR harvest rate of 77.7 percent. The OY is reduced by 3.0
  mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
u/ Splitnose rockfish - The ABC is 615 mt in the southern area (Monterey-
  Conception). The 461 mt OY for the southern area reflects a 25 percent
  precautionary adjustment because of the less rigorous stock assessment
  for this stock. Because the harvest assumptions used to forecast
  future harvest were likely overestimates, carrying the previously used
  ABCs and OYs forward into 2008 was considered to be conservative and
  based on the best available data.
v/ Yellowtail rockfish - A yellowtail rockfish stock assessment was
  prepared in 2005 for the Vancouver-Columbia-Eureka areas. Yellowtail
  rockfish was estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005. The ABC of 4,548 mt is a 2 year average ABC for 2007 and 2008
  and is based on the 2005 stock assessment with the F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>.
  The OY of 4,548 mt was set equal to the ABC, because the stock is
  above the precautionary threshold of B<INF>40%</INF>. Tribal vessels are
  estimated to catch about 539 mt of yellowtail rockfish in 2007, but do
  not have a specific allocation at this time. Tribal vessels are
  estimated to catch about 539 mt of yellowtail rockfish in 2008, but do
  not have a specific allocation at this time.
w/ Shortspine thornyhead was assessed coastwide in 2005 and the stock
  was estimated to be at 63 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  ABC of 2,476 mt is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy and is the two year
  average ABC for 2007 and 2008. For that portion of the stock (66
  percent of the biomass) north of Pt. Conception (34[deg] 27' N. lat.),
  the OY of 1,634 mt was set at equal to the ABC because the stock is
  estimated to be above the precautionary threshold. For that portion of
  the stock south of Pt. Conception (34 percent of the biomass), the OY
  of 421 mt was the portion of the ABC for the area reduced by 50
  percent as a precautionary adjustment due to the short duration and
  amount of survey data for that area. Tribal vessels are estimated to
  catch about 13 mt of shortspine thornyhead in 2008, but do not have a
  specific allocation at this time.

[[Page 78710]]

 
x/ Longspine thornyhead was assessed coastwide in 2005 and the stock was
  estimated to be at 71 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The
  coastwide ABC of 3,907 mt is based on a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy and is the two
  year average OY for the 2007 and 2008 period. The OY is set equal to
  the ABC because the stock is above the precautionary threshold.
  Separate OYs are being established for the areas north and south of
  34[deg] 27' N. lat. (Point Conception). The OY for that portion of the
  stock in the northern area (79 percent)is set equal to the ABC. For
  that portion of the stock in the southern area (21 percent), the OY of
  476 mt was the portion of the ABC for the area reduced by 25 percent
  as a precautionary adjustment due to the short duration and amount of
  survey data for that area.
y/ Cowcod in the Conception area was assessed in 2005 and was estimated
  to be between 14 and 21 percent of its unfished biomass. The ABC of in
  the area south of 36[deg] N. lat., the Conception area, is 17 mt and
  is based on the 2005 stock assessment with a F<INF>50%</INF> F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy. The ABC
  for the Monterey area (19 mt) is based on average landings from 1993-
  1997. A OY of 4 mt is being set for the combined areas. The OY is
  based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to rebuilding of 2039
  and an SPR harvest rate 90.0 percent. The OY is reduced by 0.1 mt for
  the amount anticipated to be taken during research activity.
z/ Darkblotched rockfish was assessed in 2005 and was estimated to be at
  16 percent of its unfished biomass in 2005. The ABC is projected to be
  487 mt and is based on the 2005 stock assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of
  F<INF>50%</INF>. The OY of 330 mt is based on a rebuilding plan with a target
  year to rebuild of 2011 and an SPR harvest rate of 60.7 percent in
  2008. The OY is reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be
  taken during research activity.
aa/ Yelloweye rockfish was assessed in 2006 and is estimated to be at
  17.7 percent of its unfished biomass coastwide. The 26 mt coastwide
  ABC is based on the new stock assessment and an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>.
  The 20 mt OY is based on a rebuilding plan with a target year to
  rebuild of 2084 an SPR harvest rate of 60.8 percent in 2008. The OY is
  reduced by 3.0 mt for the amount anticipated to be taken during
  research activity. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch 2.3 mt of
  yelloweye rockfish of the commercial HG in 2008, but do not have a
  specific allocation at this time. South of 42[deg] N. lat. the
  yelloweye rockfish recreational fishery HG is 2.1 mt and north of
  42[deg] N. lat. the yelloweye rockfish recreational fishery HG 6.8 mt.
bb/ California Scorpionfish south of 34[deg] 27' N. lat. was assessed in
  2005 and was estimated to be above 40 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2005. The ABC of 219 mt is based on the new assessment with a
  harvest rate proxy of F<INF>50%</INF> and is an average ABC for 2007 and 2008.
  Because the stock is above B<INF>40%</INF> coastwide, the OY could be set equal
  to the ABC. The OY of 175 mt, which is lower than the ABC, reflects
  the highest historical catch levels.
cc/ Black rockfish was last assessed in 2003 for the Columbia and Eureka
  area and in 2000 for the Vancouver area. The ABC for the area north of
  46[deg]16' N. lat. is 540 mt and the ABC for the area south of
  46[deg]16' N. lat. is 722 mt which is the average ABC for the 2007 and
  2008 period. Because of an overlap in the assessed areas between Cape
  Falcon and the Columbia River, projections from the 2000 stock
  assessment were adjusted downward by 12 percent to account for the
  overlap. The ABCs were derived using an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF>. Because
  the unfished biomass is estimated to be above 40 percent, the OYs were
  set equal to the ABCs. For the area north of 46[deg]16' N. lat., the
  OY is 540 mt. The following tribal harvest guidelines are being set:
  20,000 lb (9.1 mt) north of Cape Alava, WA (48[deg] 09.50' N. lat.)
  and 10,000 lb (4.5 mt) between Destruction Island, WA (47[deg] 40' N.
  lat.) and Leadbetter Point, WA (46[deg] 38.17' N. lat.). For the area
  south of 46[deg]16' N. lat., the OY is 722 mt. The black rockfish OY
  in the area south of 46[deg]16' N. lat., is subdivided with separate
  HGs being set for the area north of 42[deg] N. lat (419 mt/58 percent)
  and for the area south of 42[deg] N. lat (303 mt/42 percent). For the
  southern area north of 42[deg] N. lat., a range is presented for the
  recreational estimate (289-350 mt) and comercial HG (91 -111 mt).
  Specific values will be specified in the final rule. Of the 303 mt of
  black rockfish attributed to the area south of 42[deg] N. lat., 168 mt
  is estimated to be taken in the recreational fisheries, resulting in a
  commercial HG of 135 mt.
dd/ Minor rockfish north includes the ''remaining rockfish'' and ''other
  rockfish'' categories in the Vancouver, Columbia, and Eureka areas
  combined. These species include ''remaining rockfish'', which
  generally includes species that have been assessed by less rigorous
  methods than stock assessments, and ''other rockfish'', which includes
  species that do not have quantifiable stock assessments. The ABC of
  3,680 mt is the sum of the individual ''remaining rockfish'' ABCs plus
  the ''other rockfish'' ABCs. The remaining rockfish ABCs continues to
  be reduced by 25 percent (F=0.75M) as a precautionary adjustment. To
  obtain the total catch OY of 2,270 mt, the remaining rockfish ABC was
  reduced by 25 percent and other rockfish ABC was reduced by 50
  percent. This was a precautionary measure to address limited stock
  assessment information. Tribal vessels are estimated to catch about 38
  mt of minor rockfish in 2008, but do not have a specific allocation at
  this time.
ee/ Minor rockfish south includes the ''remaining rockfish'' and ''other
  rockfish'' categories in the Monterey and Conception areas combined.
  These species include ''remaining rockfish'' which generally includes
  species that have been assessed by less rigorous methods than stock
  assessment, and ''other rockfish'' which includes species that do not
  have quantifiable stock assessments. The ABC of 3,403 mt is the sum of
  the individual ''remaining rockfish'' ABCs plus the ''other rockfish''
  ABCs. The remaining rockfish ABCs continue to be reduced by 25 percent
  (F=0.75M) as a precautionary adjustment. The remaining rockfish ABCs
  are further reduced by 25 percent, with the exception of blackgill
  rockfish (see footnote gg). The other rockfish ABCs were reduced by 50
  percent. This was a precautionary measure due to limited stock
  assessment information. The resulting minor rockfish OY is 1,904 mt.
ff/ Bank rockfish - The ABC is 350 mt which is based on a 2000 stock
  assessment for the Monterey and Conception areas. This stock
  contributes 263 mt towards the minor rockfish OY in the south.
gg/ Blackgill rockfish in the Monterey and Conception areas was assessed
  in 2005 and is estimated to be at 49.9 percent of its unfished biomass
  in 2008. The ABC of 292 mt for Monterey and Conception areas is based
  on the 2005 stock assessment with an F<INF>MSY</INF> proxy of F<INF>50%</INF> and is the two
  year average ABC for the 2007 and 2008 periods. This stock contributes
  292 mt towards minor rockfish south.
hh/ ''Other rockfish'' includes rockfish species listed in 50 CFR
  660.302. California scorpionfish and gopher rockfish were assessed in
  2005 and are being removed from this category. The California
  Scorpionfish contribution of 163 mt and the gopher rockfish
  contribution of 97 mt were removed from the ABC value. The ABC for the
  remaining species is based on the 1996 review of commercial Sebastes
  landings and includes an estimate of recreational landings. These
  species have never been assessed quantitatively.
ii/ ''Other fish'' includes sharks, skates, rays, ratfish, morids,
  grenadiers, kelp greenling and other groundfish species noted above in
  footnote d/.
jj/ Specific open access/limited entry allocations have been suspended
  during the rebuilding period as necessary to meet the overall
  rebuilding target while allowing harvest of healthy stocks.
kk/ Sablefish allocation north of 36[deg] N. lat. - The limited entry
  allocation is further divided with 58 percent allocated to the trawl
  fishery and 42 percent allocated to the fixed-gear fishery.

660.383, fishing with salmon troll gear is prohibited within the Salmon 
Troll Yelloweye Rockfish Conservation Area (YRCA). It is unlawful for 
commercial salmon troll vessels to take and retain, possess, or land 
fish taken with salmon troll gear within the Salmon Troll YRCA. Vessels 
may transit through the Salmon Troll YRCA with or without fish on 
board. The Salmon Troll YRCA is an area off the northern Washington 
coast. The Salmon Troll YRCA is intended to protect yelloweye rockfish. 
The Salmon Troll YRCA is defined by straight lines connecting the 
following specific latitude and longitude coordinates in the order 
listed:
    (1) 48[deg]00.00' N. lat., 125[deg]14.00' W. long.;
    (2) 48[deg]02.00' N. lat., 125[deg]14.00' W. long.;
