ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS approves and 

implements Framework Adjustment 62 

for Whiting, Red Hake, and Offshore 

Hake to the Northeast Multispecies 

Fishery Management Plan. This action 

establishes a 10-year rebuilding plan, 

including a rebuilding schedule and 

change in possession limits for the 

overfished southern red hake stock. This 

action is necessary to meet the statutory 

requirements for an overfished stock 

and rebuilding plan consistent with the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

This action is intended to rebuild the 

southern red hake stock and help 

achieve optimum yield in the 

commercial fishery. 

DATES: Effective January 25, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The New England Fishery 

Management Council developed an 

environmental assessment (EA) for this 

action that describes and analyzes these 

measures and other considered 

alternatives. Copies of Framework

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background 

In January 2018, the southern red 

hake stock was declared overfished. To 

meet the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) requirements 

of an overfished stock, a rebuilding plan 

and associated management measures 

are necessary to prevent overfishing, 

ensure adequate rebuilding, and help 

achieve optimum yield in the fishery. 

The New England Fishery Management 

Council took final action on Framework 

Adjustment 62 (Framework 62) to the 

Northeast Multispecies Fishery 

Management Plan at its June 2020 

meeting and submitted the action to us 

in mid-August 2020. NMFS published a 

proposed rule on July 12, 2021 (86 FR 

36519), with a comment period ending 

on July 27, 2021. 

NMFS has approved all of the 

measures in Framework 62 

recommended by the Council, as 

described below. This final rule 

establishes a 10-year rebuilding plan, 

including a rebuilding schedule and 

change in possession limits for the 

overfished southern red hake stock. The 

Magnuson-Stevens Act allows NMFS to 

approve, partially approve, or 

disapprove measures proposed by the 

Council based on whether the measures 

are consistent with the FMP, the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act and its National 

Standards, and other applicable law. 

Details concerning the development of 

these measures were contained in the 

preamble of the proposed rule and are 

not repeated here. 

Southern Red Hake Rebuilding 

Schedule 

This action establishes a 10-year 

rebuilding schedule for southern red 

hake. Under this rebuilding program, 

catch limits will be established by 

reducing the acceptable biological catch 

(ABC) to 75 percent of the fishing 

mortality rate at maximum sustainable 

yield (FMSY) for the duration of the 

rebuilding period, or until the stock 

reaches its biomass target, whichever 

happens first. In past years, the ABC has 

been set at 90 percent or higher of the 

FMSY, consistent with the Council’s 

Scientific and Statistical Committee 

recommendations. 

Changes to Southern Red Hake 

Possession Limits 

This action will also decrease the trip 

possession limit from 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) 

to a dual 1,000-lb/600-lb (453.6-kg/ 

272.2-kg) possession limit based on the 

selectivity of the gear type or mesh size 

being used (Table 1). The 600-lb (272.2- 

kg) possession limit will apply to 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 3695 

standard small-mesh trawls (less than 

5.5-inch (13.97-cm) square or diamond 

mesh), which are less selective, while 

the 1,000-lb (453.6-kg) possession limit 

will apply to large-mesh trawls and 

other more selective gear types. In 

addition, the 1,000-lb (453.6-kg) 

possession limit applies to vessels when 

using gears other than trawls. These 

small-mesh selective gear types include 

raised-footrope trawls, large-mesh belly 

panel trawls, and rope separator trawls. 

The reduced possession limits are 

intended to reduce landings and catch 

and to incentivize fishermen to use gear 

and gear configurations that reduce the 

catch of red hake. 

TABLE 1—LIST OF GEARS AND ASSOCIATED POSSESSION LIMITS

Gear used Possession limit 

Small-mesh trawls <5.5-in (13.97-cm) square or diamond mesh ...................................................................................... 600-lb (272.2-kg). 

Large mesh trawls ≥5.5-in (13.97-cm) square or diamond mesh and small-mesh selective gear trawls (raised-footrope 

trawls, large-mesh belly panel trawls, and rope separator trawls).

1,000-lb (453.6-kg). 

Gear other than trawl .......................................................................................................................................................... 1,000-lb (453.6-kg). 

The in-season accountability measure 

will remain in place, which reduces the 

possession limit to 400 lb (181 kg) for 

all vessels when the total landings reach 

or exceed the total allowable landings 

(TAL) trigger of 40.4 percent of the 

annual catch limit (ACL). The Regional 

Administrator may deem other gears as 

selective based on an evaluation of their 

ability to adequately reduce the catch of 

red hake and would announce such a 

decisions through issuance of a rule in 

the Federal Register consistent with the 

process defined at 50 CFR 

648.86(d)(1)(v)(B)(2). 

Proposed Rule Comments and 

Responses 

We received one relevant comment on 

the proposed rule during the public 

comment period. This commenter stated 

that all small-mesh fisheries should 

have restrictions on the length of wire 

used to deploy fishing nets as a means 

of catch control. The commenter also 

noted that excessive amounts of wire 

used on gear in the southern red hake 

fishery are contributing to the higher 

catches, whereas in the northern red 

hake fishery, vessels are required to use 

the raised-footrope trawl which has 

restrictions on wire length. The 

requirement to use a raised-footrope 

trawl was implemented in the northern 

fishery as a means to reduce bycatch of 

other regulated species under the 

Northeast Multispecies FMP. Currently 

for southern red hake there are no gear 

restrictions in place restricting the 

length of wire that is allowed because 

the same concern does not exist. This 

action implements a higher reduced 

possession limit for fishermen that use 

more selective gear types such as the 

raised-footrope trawl when fishing for 

southern red hake, which is intended to 

incentivize the use of more selective 

gear. The Council could consider 

additional gear restrictions for the 

fishery and FMP in a future action, if it 

chooses, and if additional conservation 

and management measures are 

necessary. 

Changes From the Proposed Rule 

This final rule contains one clarifying 

change in addition to what was 

contained in the proposed rule. Under 

section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act, we are also making one clarifying 

change to a provision in the regulations 

on the Raised Footrope Trawl Whiting 

Fishery Exemption Area to ensure that 

the language of that provision is 

consistent with Framework Adjustment 

35 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP 

(see November 19, 2002, final rule (67 

FR 69694) modifying the regulations 

implementing Framework Adjustment 

35 at 50 CFR 648.80). In preparing this 

final rule, we noticed that this provision 

in the regulations, as currently drafted, 

could be confusing as to the timeframe 

when the eastern portion of the 

exemption area opens for fishing. 

Currently, § 648.80(a)(15)(i)(F) states 

that ‘‘Fishing may only occur from 

September 1 through November 20 of 

each fishing year, except that it may 

occur in the eastern portion only of the 

Raised Footrope Trawl Whiting Fishery 

Exemption Area from November 21 

through December 31 of each fishing 

year.’’ This final rule adds the words 

‘‘continue to’’ after ‘‘except that it may’’, 

and replaces ‘‘from November 21’’, with 

the phrase ‘‘, which remains open’’. 

This change clarifies that the eastern 

portion opens on September 1, when the 

entire exemption area opens, and 

remains open through December 31. 

This clarifying correction does not 

change any management measures 

associated with this Exemption Area; it 

only clarifies the dates that fishing 

would be open in the exemption area, 

consistent with the intent of Framework 

Adjustment 35, as described in previous 

rulemaking actions (see the final rule at 

67 FR 69694; November 19, 2002). 

Because the public had opportunity to 

comment on these management 

measures during the rulemaking process 

for Framework Adjustment 35, and 

because we are making only a minor, 

clarifying correction to the existing 

regulations, additional public comment 

is not necessary. 

Classification 

NMFS is issuing this rule pursuant to 

Section 304(b)(1)(A) of the MagnusonStevens Act, which provides specific 

authority and procedure for 

implementing this action. NMFS is also 

issuing clarify regulatory text to a 

previously implemented Framework 

Adjustment pursuant to section 305(d). 

The NMFS Assistant Administrator has 

determined that this final rule is 

consistent with the FMP, other 

provisions of the Magnuson-Stevens 

Act, and other applicable law. 

This final rule has been determined to 

be not significant for purposes of 

Executive Order 12866. 

This final rule does not contain 

policies with federalism or ‘‘takings’’ 

implications, as those terms are defined 

in E.O. 13132 and E.O. 12630, 

respectively. 

This action does not contain any 

collection-of-information requirements 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

The Assistant Administrator for 

Fisheries has determined that there is 

good cause to waive the 30-day delay in 

the date of effectiveness in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act. This 

action must be in place prior to a 

separate action to implement the 2021– 

2023 small-mesh multispecies 

specifications (see the proposed rule at 

86 FR 31262; June 11, 2021), which 

would increase the ACL for southern 

red hake. The 2021 fishing year began 

on May 1, 2021, and the small-mesh 

multispecies fishery is operating under 

default specifications. In the separate 

action, the Council recommends an 89 

percent increase in the 2021 catch limits 

for southern red hake based on data 

seen in the NMFS trawl surveys; the 

Council recommended implementing 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
3696 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

this increase in the catch limit as soon 

as possible, basing its recommendation 

on the most recent stock assessment 

data that the Council also used in 

developing the rebuilding plan 

implemented by this final rule. A 30- 

day delay in the date of effectiveness 

would postpone the implementation of 

this final rule, and, hence the 

implementation of the final 2021 

specifications that rely on this action, 

and would be contrary to the public 

interest. The delay could create 

confusion and potential economic harm 

to the small-mesh multispecies fishery 

due to lost opportunity under the 

current, lower catch limit, and due to 

the potential triggering of unnecessary 

accountability measures for southern 

red hake early in the year under the 

current, lower catch limits. In addition 

a 30-day delay in the date of 

effectiveness would not benefit the 

regulated parties, as no additional time 

is required to come into compliance 

with this final rule. Complying with this 

final rule simply means adhering to the 

new possession limits and management 

measures set in this action. Fishery 

stakeholders have also been involved in 

the development of this action, and are 

anticipating the issuance of this rule. 

For all of these reasons, NMFS finds 

that the need to implement these 

measures in a timely manner constitute 

good cause to waive the 30-day delay in 

this final rule’s date of effectiveness. 

For similar reasons, and to avoid 

confusion, NMFS finds good cause to 

waive the 30-day delay in the date of 

effectiveness with respect to this final 

rule’s change from the proposed rule, as 

described above in the Changes From 

the Proposed Rule section, because the 

change simply clarifies a potentially 

confusing regulatory provision and does 

not amend any management measures. 

The Chief Counsel for Regulation of 

the Department of Commerce certified 

to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 

Small Business Administration during 

the proposed rule stage that this action 

would not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. The factual basis for the 

certification was published in the 

proposed rule and is not repeated here. 

No comments were received regarding 

this certification. As a result, a final 

regulatory flexibility analysis was not 

required and none was prepared.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are finalizing 

specifications for the 2022 Atlantic 

deep-sea red crab fishery, including an 

annual catch limit and total allowable 

landings limit. This action is necessary 

to fully implement previously projected 

allowable red crab harvest levels that 

will prevent overfishing and allow 

harvesting of optimum yield. This 

action is intended to establish the 

allowable 2022 harvest levels, 

consistent with the Atlantic Deep-Sea 

Red Crab Fishery Management Plan. 

DATES: The final specifications for the 

2022 Atlantic deep-sea red crab fishery 

are effective March 1, 2022, through 

February 28, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Allison Murphy, Fishery Policy Analyst, 

(978) 281–9122. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Atlantic deep-sea red crab fishery is 

managed by the New England Fishery 

Management Council. The Atlantic 

Deep-Sea Red Crab Fishery Management 

Plan includes a specification process 

that requires the New England Fishery 

Management Council to recommend an 

acceptable biological catch, an annual 

catch limit, and total allowable landings 

every four years. Collectively, these are 

the red crab specifications. Prior to the 

start of fishing year 2020, the Council 

recommended specifications for the 

2020–2023 fishing years (Table 1). 

TABLE 1—COUNCIL-APPROVED 2020– 

2023 RED CRAB SPECIFICATIONS

Metric 

ton 

Million 

lb 

Acceptable Biological Catch ... 2,000 4.41 

Annual Catch Limit .................. 2,000 4.41 

Total Allowable Landings 2,000 4.41 

On April 14, 2020, we approved the 

Council-recommended specifications for 

the 2020 fishing year, effective through 

February 28, 2021, and we projected the 

continuation of those specifications for 

2021–2023 (85 FR 20615). At the end of 

each fishing year, we evaluate catch 

information and determine if the quota 

has been exceeded. If a quota is 

exceeded, the regulations at 50 CFR 

648.262(b) require a pound-for-pound 

reduction in a subsequent fishing year. 

We have reviewed available 2021 

fishery information against the projected 

2022 specifications. There have been no 

annual catch limit or total allowable 

landings overages, nor is there any new 

biological information that would 

require altering the projected 2022 

specifications published in 2020. Based 

on this information, we are finalizing 

specifications for fishing year 2022, as 

projected in the 2020 specifications 

rule, and outlined above in Table 1. 

These specifications are not expected to 

result in overfishing, and they 

adequately account for scientific 

uncertainty. 

Classification 

The NMFS Assistant Administrator 

has determined that this final rule is 

consistent with the Atlantic Deep-Sea 

Red Crab Fishery Management Plan, the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, and 

other applicable law. 

This rule is exempt from review 

under Executive Order 12866. 

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), we 

find good cause to waive prior public 

notice and opportunity for public 

comment on the catch limit and 

allocation adjustments, because 

allowing time for notice and comment is 

contrary to the public interest. The 

proposed rule for the 2020–2023 

specifications provided the public with 

the opportunity to comment on the 

specifications, including the projected 

2021 through 2023 specifications (85 FR 

9717, February 20, 2020). We received 

no comments on the proposed rule 

announcing the projected 2021–2023 

specifications and the process for 

announcing finalized interim year 

quotas. Further, this final rule contains 

no changes from the projected 2022 

specifications that were included in 

both the February 20, 2020, proposed 

rule and the April 14, 2020, final rule. 

The public and industry participants 

expect this action. Through both the 

proposed rule for the 2020–2023 

specifications and the final rule for the 

2020 specifications, we alerted the 

public that we would conduct a review 

of the latest available catch information 

in each of the interim years of the multiyear specifications and announce the 

final quota prior to the March 1 start of 

the fishing year. Thus, the proposed and 

final rules that contained the projected 

2021–2023 specifications provided a 

full opportunity for the public to 

comment on the substance and process 

of this action. 

The Chief Counsel for Regulation, 

Department of Commerce, previously 

certified to the Chief Counsel for 

Advocacy of the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) that the 2020– 

2023 red crab specifications would not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

Implementing the 2022 specifications 

will not change the conclusions drawn 

in that previous certification to the SBA. 

Because advance notice and the 

opportunity for public comment are not 

required for this action under the 

Administrative Procedure Act, or any 

other law, the analytical requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 

601, et seq., do not apply to this rule. 

Therefore, no new regulatory flexibility 

analysis is required and none has been 

prepared. 

This action does not contain a 

collection of information requirement 

for the purposes of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. 

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

Dated: January 19, 2022. 

Samuel D. Rauch, III, 

Deputy Assistant Administrator for 

Regulatory Programs, National Marine 

Fisheries Service.
