Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Western Alaska 

Community Development Quota 

Program 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues a proposed rule 

that would implement Amendment 109 

to the Fishery Management Plan for 

Groundfish of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(FMP). If approved, this proposed rule 

would amend regulations governing the 

Western Alaska Community 

Development Quota (CDQ) Program to 

support increased participation in the 

groundfish CDQ fisheries (primarily 

Pacific cod) by catcher vessels less than 

or equal to 46 feet (ft) (14.0 meters (m)) 

length overall (LOA) using hook-andline gear. Specifically, this proposed 

rule would exempt operators of 

registered catcher vessels greater than 

32 ft (9.8 m) LOA and less than or equal 

to 46 ft LOA using hook-and-line gear 

from the requirement to obtain and 

carry a License Limitation Program 

license when groundfish CDQ fishing. 

The proposed rule also would reduce 

observer coverage requirements for 

catcher vessels less than or equal to 46 

ft LOA when groundfish CDQ fishing, 

and implement new in-season 

management and catch accounting 

requirements to properly account for the 

harvest of groundfish and halibut and 

the accrual of halibut prohibited species 

catch in these fisheries. In addition to 

the proposed regulations necessary to 

implement Amendment 109, NMFS 

proposes to remove a table in the 

regulations because it is no longer 

necessary. This action is intended to 

facilitate increased participation by 

residents of CDQ communities in the 

groundfish fisheries in the Bering Sea 

and Aleutian Islands Management Area, 

and to support economic development 

in western Alaska. This action is 

necessary to promote the goals of the 

CDQ Program, and to promote the goals 

and objectives of the FMP, the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act, and 

other applicable laws.
