SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulations implementing Amendment

2 to the Fishery Management Plan for

the Summer Flounder Fishery (FMP) are

found at 50 CFR part 625. The

regulations require annual specification

of a commercial quota that is

apportioned among the coastal states

from North Carolina through Maine. The

process used to set the annual

commercial quota, adjust for overages,

and the percent allocated to each state

is described in § 625.20.

Transfers of commercial quota are

authorized under Amendment 5 to the

FMP (58 FR 65936, December 17, 1993)

which allows two or more states, under

mutual agreement and with the

concurrence of the Director, Northeast

Region, NMFS, (Regional Director) to

transfer or combine summer flounder

commercial quota. The Regional

Director is required to consider the

criteria set forth in § 625.20(f)(1) in the

evaluation of requests for quota transfers

or combinations.

The Regional Director is further

required to publish notification in the

Federal Register advising a state, and

notifying Federal vessel permit and

dealer permit holders, that effective

upon a specific date, a portion of a

state’s commercial quota has been

transferred to or combined with the

commercial quota of another state.

The States of Maryland and New York

have mutually agreed to transfer 50,000

lb (22,680 kg) of 1994 commercial quota

from Maryland to New York, and the

Regional Director has concurred.

The Regional Director has determined

that the criteria set forth in § 625.20(f)

have been met, and publishes this

notification of quota transfer. This

action revises the quotas for the

calendar year 1994.

Classification

This action is taken under 50 CFR

part 625 and is exempt from review

under E.O. 12866.
