50 CFR Part 663

[Docket No. 941265–4365; I.D. 032295B]

Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery;

Thornyhead Trip Limits

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Fishing restrictions; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: NMFS announces reductions

in the cumulative vessel trip limits for

longspine and shortspine thornyheads

in the groundfish fishery off

Washington, Oregon, and California.

This action is authorized by the

regulations implementing the Pacific

Coast Groundfish Fishery Management

Plan. The trip limits are intended to

keep landings from exceeding the 1995

harvest guidelines for longspine

thornyheads and the overfishing level

for shortspine thornyheads, while

extending the fishery as long as possible

during the year.

DATES: Effective from 0001 hours (local

time) April 1, 1995, until the effective

date of the 1996 annual specifications

and management measures, which will

be published in the Federal Register.

Comments will be accepted through

April 18, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to

William Stelle, Jr., Director, Northwest

Region, National Marine Fisheries

Service, 7600 Sand Point Way NE., BINC15700, Seattle, WA 98115–0070; or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Dover

sole, thornyheads, and trawl-caught

sablefish (DTS) are managed collectively

as the DTS complex because they are

often caught together in the trawl

fishery. Thornyheads include two

species, shortspine and longspine,

which also often are caught together. In

1995, the 1,500 metric ton (mt) harvest

guideline for shortspine thornyheads

was set higher than the 1,000–mt

acceptable biological catch (ABC),
16812 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 63 / Monday, April 3, 1995 / Rules and Regulations

largely because of uncertainty in the

new stock assessment. The harvest

guideline for shortspine thornyheads is

near the level that would produce the

maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and

the overfishing level is about 1,800 mt.

Longspine thornyheads are being fished

down to the level that would produce

MSY. However, in 1995, longspine

thornyheads have a 6,000–mt harvest

guideline, which is below its ABC of

7,000 mt, primarily to protect the fully

exploited shortspine thornyheads.

On January 4, 1995, (60 FR 2331,

January 9, 1995), the cumulative trip

limit for both longspine and shortspine

thornyheads combined was set at 20,000

lb (9,072 kg) per vessel per month, of

which no more than 4,000 lb (1,814 kg)

may be shortspine thornyheads. The

catch of thornyheads is counted toward

the cumulative trip limit for the DTS

complex, which is 35,000 lb (15,876 kg)

per vessel per month north of Cape

Mendocino (40°30′00′′ N. lat.) and

50,000 lb (22,680 kg) per vessel per

month south of Cape Mendocino. A

cumulative trip limit is the maximum

amount that may be taken and retained,

possessed or landed per vessel in a

specified period of time, without a limit

on the number of landings or trips.

During the March 1995 meeting of the

Pacific Fishery Management Council

(Council), the Council was advised that

at the current rate of harvest, the harvest

guidelines for both longspine and

shortspine thornyheads would be

achieved well before the end of the year

and the overfishing level for shortspine

thornyheads would be exceeded. The

Council, therefore, asked NMFS to

convene an emergency teleconference

with key members of the Council, its

Groundfish Management Team (GMT)

and Groundfish Advisory Subpanel,

state fishery representatives, and the

interested public to consider the issue

and take action to reduce the harvest of

thornyheads before the April 1995

Council meeting.

The best available information

presented at the March 14, 1995,

teleconference indicated that the catch

of shortspine thornyheads through

March 4, 1995, was 350 mt. The GMT

projected that if the February rate

continued to the end of the year, the

total catch of shortspine thornyheads

would be 2,251 mt, the harvest

guideline would be exceeded by 50

percent, and the overfishing level would

be exceeded by about 25 percent. The

landings of longspine thornyheads

through March 4, 1995, was 993 mt or

17 percent of the harvest guideline, and

if the February rate continued, the total

catch for the year would be 7,248 mt,

and the harvest guideline would be

exceeded by 21 percent. At the March

14, 1995, teleconference, the GMT

recommended a 25 percent reduction to

current trip limits for thornyheads to

avoid exceeding the overfishing level for

shortspine thornyheads and the harvest

guideline for longspine thornyheads.

The participating Council and state

representatives all concurred. The

reductions would bring the catch of

shortspine thornyheads down to about

1,800 mt by the end of the year, near its

overfishing level, and the catch of

longspine thornyheads to just below its

6,000–mt harvest guideline. This

provides flexibility to take later actions

in June 1995, if necessary. Larger

reductions of the trip limits were not

recommended at this time because: (1)

Discards may increase, (2) there is

adequate time to adjust the trip limits

later in the year, and (3) diversion to

other fisheries in the spring may reduce

the effort on thornyheads.

NMFS concurs with the GMT

recommendation and is imposing an

immediate 25 percent reduction in the

cumulative trip limit for thornyheads.

Beginning April 1, 1995, no more than

15,000 lb (6,804 kg) cumulative per

month may be longspine and shortspine

thornyheads combined (reduced from

20,000 lb (9,072 kg)), of which no more

than 3,000 lb (1,361 kg) may be

shortspine thornyheads (reduced from

4,000 lb (1,814 kg)). The north and

south cumulative trip limits for DTS

complex and the cumulative per trip

limits for sablefish remain unchanged.

NMFS Action

NMFS hereby announces the

following changes to the management

measures for the DTS complex

announced at paragraphs IV.E(b)(ii)(A)

and (B) at 60 FR 2342, January 9, 1995:

(A) North of Cape Mendocino. The

cumulative trip limit for the DTS

complex taken and retained north of

Cape Mendocino is 35,000 lb (15,876 kg)

per vessel per month. Within this

cumulative trip limit, no more than

6,000 lb (2,722 kg) may be sablefish, and

no more than 15,000 lb (6,804 kg) may

be thornyheads. No more than 3,000 lb

(1,361 kg) of the thornyheads may be

shortspine thornyheads.

(B) South of Cape Mendocino. The

cumulative trip limit for the DTS

complex taken and retained south of

Cape Mendocino is 50,000 lb (22,680 kg)

per vessel per month. Within this

cumulative trip limit, no more than

6,000 lb (2,722 kg) may be sablefish, and

no more than 15,000 lb (6,804 kg) may

be thornyheads. No more than 3,000 lb

(1,361 kg) of the thornyheads may be

shortspine thornyheads.

Classification

The determination to take this action

is based on the most recent data

available. The aggregate data upon

which the determination is based are

available for public inspection at the

Office of the Director, Northwest

Region, (see ADDRESSES) during business

hours.

Because any delay in the

implementation of this action could

result in exceeding the overfishing level

for shortspine thornyheads, NMFS finds

good cause to waive the 30-day delayed

effectiveness requirement of the

Administrative Procedure Act.

This action is taken under the

authority of 50 CFR 663.23(c)(1)(i)(G),

and is exempt from review under E.O.

12866.

Dated: March 28, 1995.

Conservation and Management, National
