Management Council (Council) is

scheduling a public meeting of its

Groundfish Oversight Committee in

June, 2001. Recommendations from the

committee will be brought to the full

Council for formal consideration and

action, if appropriate.

DATES: The meeting will held on

Monday, June 4, 2001, at 9:30 a.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

the DoubleTree Hotel, 1230 Congress

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul

J. Howard, Executive Director, New

England Fishery Management Council

(978) 465–0492.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Groundfish Oversight Committee will

continue development of management

alternatives for Amendment 13 to the

Northeast Multispecies Fishery

Management Plan. The Committee will

review alternatives developed by the

Groundfish Plan Development Team

and incorporate measures identified

over the past year into the management

alternatives. While the Committee has

been developing measures that fall into

three broad approaches - refinements to

the status quo, area management, and

sector allocation - most of the effort at

this meeting will be on refining the

status quo option. The Committee will

consider alternatives that include

possible reductions in days-at-sea

allocations and use. Other measures that

may be discussed include the use of trip

or possession limits, modifications to

seasonal and year-round closed areas,

changes to gear requirements, and

recreational fishing measures. These

efforts will lead to development of

recommended management alternatives

that will be taken to public hearing in

the future. Proposed maximum

sustainable yield control rules will be

reviewed to clarify changes suggested by

the Council and the Committee.

Although non-emergency issues not

contained in this agenda may come

before this group for discussion, those

issues may not be the subject of formal

action during this meeting. 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 Magnuson-Stevens

Act, provided the public has been

notified of the Council’s intent to take

final action to address the emergency.

Special Accommodations

This meeting is physically accessible

to people with disabilities. Requests for

sign language interpretation or other

auxiliary aids should be directed to Paul
