[Docket No. 221215–0272; RTID 0648–

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Bluefish Fishery; 

Quota Transfers From NJ to NC and RI 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notification of quota transfers. 

SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the 

State of New Jersey is transferring a 

portion of its 2023 commercial bluefish 

quota to the States of North Carolina 

and Rhode Island. These adjustments to 

the 2023 fishing year quotas are 

necessary to comply with the Atlantic 

Bluefish Fishery Management Plan 

quota transfer provisions. This 

announcement informs the public of the 

revised 2023 commercial bluefish 

quotas for New Jersey, North Carolina, 

and Rhode Island. 

DATES: Effective August 28, 2023, 

through December 31, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laura Deighan, Fishery Management 

Specialist, (978) 281–9184. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations governing the Atlantic 

bluefish fishery are found in 50 CFR 

648.160 through 648.167. These 

regulations require annual specification 

of a commercial quota that is 

apportioned among the coastal states 

from Maine through Florida. The 

process to set the annual commercial 

quota and the percent allocated to each 

state is described in § 648.162, and the 

final 2023 allocations were published 

on December 21, 2022 (87 FR 78011). 

The final rule implementing 

Amendment 1 to the Bluefish Fishery 

Management Plan (FMP), as published 

in the Federal Register on July 26, 2000 

(65 FR 45844), provided a mechanism 

for transferring bluefish commercial 

quota from one state to another. Two or 

more states, under mutual agreement 

and with the concurrence of the NMFS 

Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator, 

can request approval to transfer or 

combine bluefish commercial quota 

under § 648.162(e)(1)(i) through (iii). 

The Regional Administrator must 

approve any such transfer based on the 

criteria in § 648.162(e). In evaluating 

requests to transfer a quota or combine 

quotas, the Regional Administrator shall 

consider whether: the transfer or 

combinations would preclude the 

overall annual quota from being fully 

harvested; the transfer addresses an 

unforeseen variation or contingency in 

the fishery; and the transfer is consistent 

with the objectives of the FMP and the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). The Regional 

Administrator has determined these 

three criteria have been met for the 

transfers approved in this notification. 

New Jersey is transferring 45,000 

pounds (lb) (20,412 kilograms (kg)) to 

North Carolina and 15,000 lb (6,804 kg) 

to Rhode Island, through mutual

59470 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

agreements of the states. These transfers 

were requested to ensure that North 

Carolina and Rhode Island would not 

exceed their 2023 state quotas. The 

revised bluefish quotas for 2023 are: 

New Jersey, 563,295 lb (255,506 kg); 

North Carolina, 1,474,077 lb (668,630 

kg); and Rhode Island 366,165 lb 

(166,090 kg). 

Classification 

NMFS issues this action pursuant to 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act. This action is required by 50 CFR 

648.162(e)(1)(i) through (iii), which was 

issued pursuant to section 304(b), and is 

exempted from review under Executive 

Order 12866. 

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