Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Observer Coverage 

Requirements for Small Catcher/

Processor in the Gulf of Alaska and 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Groundfish Fisheries 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of availability of fishery 

management plan amendments; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: The North Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Council) has 

submitted Amendment 112 to the 

Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(BSAI FMP) and Amendment 102 to the 

Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA 

FMP). If approved, Amendments 112 

and 102 would modify the criteria for 

NMFS to place small catcher/processors 

in the partial observer coverage category 

under the North Pacific Groundfish and 

Halibut Observer Program (Observer 

Program). Under Amendments 112 and 

102, the GOA and BSAI FMPs would 

each be amended to allow certain 

catcher/processors with relatively small 

levels of groundfish production to be 

placed in the partial observer coverage 

category. Amendments 112 and 102 are 

intended to promote the goals of the 

BSAI and GOA FMPs and to promote 

the goals and objectives of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act) and other 

applicable laws.
