SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Agenda 

The Scallop Committee will meet to 

discuss: Framework 39 (FW39): Review 

specifications alternatives in FW39 and 

select final preferred alternatives. FW39 

will set specifications including the 

overfishing limit (OFL), acceptable 

biological catch/annual catch limit 

(ABC/ACLs), days-at-sea (DAS), access 

area allocations for Limited Access (LA) 

vessels, quota and access area trip 

allocation to the Limited Access General 

Category (LAGC) Individual Fishing 

Quota (IFQ) component, Total 

Allowable Landings (TAL) for the 

Northern Gulf of Maine (NGOM) 

management area, a target-Total 

Allowable Catch (TAC) for LAGC 

incidental catch and set-asides for the 

observer and research programs for 

fishing year 2025, and default 

specifications for fishing year 2026. This 

action also considers modifying the 

seasonal bycatch closure of Area II to 

improve yield and reduce impacts to 

northern windowpane flounder and 

modifying the possession prohibition 

for NGOM-permitted scallop vessels on 

a declared NGOM trip to possess 

scallops outside of the NGOM 

management area. Other business will 

be discussed, if necessary. 

Although non-emergency issues not 

contained on the agenda may come 

before this Council for discussion, those 

issues may not be the subject of formal 

action during this meeting. Council 

action will be restricted to those issues 

specifically listed in this notice and any 

issues arising after publication of this 

notice that require emergency action 

under section 305(c) of the MagnusonStevens Act, provided the public has 

been notified of the Council’s intent to 

take final action to address the 

emergency. The public also should be 

aware that the meeting will be recorded.
