RIN 0648–XD592 

Determination of Overfishing or an 

Overfished Condition 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This action serves as a notice 

that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of 

Commerce (Secretary), has found that 

the following stocks are subject to 

overfishing or are in an overfished 

condition: Gulf of Mexico Greater 

Amberjack is subject to overfishing and 

continues to be in an overfished 

condition; Gulf of Mexico Gray 

Triggerfish is subject to overfishing but 

is not in an overfished condition; Puerto 

Rico Scups and Porgies is subject to 

overfishing; Puerto Rico Wrasses is 

subject to overfishing; and Gulf of 

Maine cod continues to be subject to 

overfishing and in an overfished 

condition. In addition, Pacific Bluefin 

Tuna, which is jointly managed by the 

Western Pacific Fisheries Management 

Council and the Pacific Fisheries 

Management Council, continues to be 

subject to overfishing and continues to 

be in an overfished condition. 

NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, 

notifies the appropriate fishery 

management council (Council) 

whenever it determines that overfishing 

is occurring, a stock is in an overfished 

condition, a stock is approaching an 

overfished condition, or when a 

rebuilding plan has not resulted in 

adequate progress toward ending 

overfishing and rebuilding affected fish 

stocks.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to sections 304(e)(2) and (e)(7) of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 

1854(e)(2) and (e)(7), and implementing 

regulations at 50 CFR 600.310(e)(2), 

NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, must 

notify Councils whenever it determines 

that a stock or stock complex is 

overfished or approaching an overfished 

condition; or if an existing rebuilding 

plan has not ended overfishing or 

resulted in adequate rebuilding 

progress. NMFS also notifies Councils 

when it determines a stock or stock 

complex is subject to overfishing. 

Section 304(e)(2) further requires NMFS 

to publish these notices in the Federal 

Register. 

NMFS has determined that the Gulf of 

Mexico stocks of Greater Amberjack and 

Grey Triggerfish are subject to 

overfishing and that Greater Amberjack 

continues to be in an overfished 

condition. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery 

Management Council (GMFMC) has 

been informed that they must end 

overfishing on these two stocks and that 

they must continue to rebuild the stock 

of Greater Amberjack. 

NMFS has also determined that 

Puerto Rico Scups and Porgies, as well 

as Puerto Rico Wrasses, are subject to 

overfishing. The Caribbean Fishery 

Management Council (CFMC) has been 

informed that they must end overfishing 

on these two stock complexes. 

NMFS has also determined that Gulf 

of Maine Cod continues to be subject to 

overfishing and is in an overfished 

condition. The New England Fishery 

Management Council (NEFMC) has been 

informed that they must end overfishing 

and rebuild this stock. 

In addition, NMFS has determined 

that the Pacific stock of Bluefin Tuna 

continues to be subject to overfishing 

and is in an overfished condition. This 

determination was based on an 

assessment conducted by the 

International Scientific Committee for 

Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the 

North Pacific Ocean (ISC), in 

conjunction with NOAA scientists. 

NMFS has confirmed that section 304(i) 

of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) applies 

because (1) the overfishing and 

overfished condition of Bluefin Tuna is 

due largely to excessive international 

fishing pressure, and (2) there are no 

management measures (or efficiency 

measures) to end overfishing under an 

international agreement to which the 

U.S. is a party. NMFS has informed the 

Western Pacific Fishery Management 

Council and the Pacific Fishery 

Management Council of their 

obligations for international and 

domestic management under MagnusonStevens Act sections 304(i) and 304(i)(2) 

to address international and domestic 

impacts, respectively. The Councils 

must develop domestic regulations to 

address the relative impact of the 

domestic fishing fleet on the stock, and 

develop recommendations to the 

Secretary of State and Congress for 

international actions to end overfishing 

and rebuild Pacific Bluefin Tuna.
