Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of

Resources of the Gulf of Mexico; 

Commercial Reef Fish Fishery of the 

Gulf of Mexico; Control Date 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Advanced notice of proposed 

rulemaking; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: This document announces the 

establishment of a control date of 

January 1, 2015, that the Gulf of Mexico 

Fishery Management Council (Council)

restrictions limiting participation in the 

individual fishing quota (IFQ) program 

for the grouper and tilefish component 

of the commercial sector of the reef fish 

fishery in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) 

exclusive economic zone. Anyone 

entering the program after the control 

date will not be assured of future access 

should a management regime that limits 

participation in the program be 

prepared and implemented. NMFS 

invites comments on the establishment 

of this control date. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before January 7, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the proposed rule identified by 

‘‘NOAA–NMFS–2014–0140’’ by any of 

the following methods: 

• Electronic Submission: Submit all 

electronic public comments via the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IFQ 

program for Gulf grouper and tilefish 

species (Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ 

Program) was implemented on January 

1, 2010 (74 FR 44732, August 31, 2009). 

The species included in the IFQ 

program are deep-water groupers 

(yellowedge grouper, misty grouper, 

warsaw grouper, snowy grouper, 

speckled hind, plus scamp under 

certain circumstances); red grouper, gag, 

and other shallow-water groupers (black 

grouper, scamp, yellowfin grouper, rock 

hind, red hind, yellowmouth grouper, 

plus warsaw grouper and speckled hind 

under certain circumstances); and 

tilefishes (goldface tilefish, blackline 

tilefish, anchor tilefish, blueline tilefish, 

and tilefish). The program includes a 

provision that, beginning January 1, 

2015, all U.S. citizens or permanent 

resident aliens are eligible to receive 

transfers of grouper and tilefish IFQ 

shares or allocation. A Gulf commercial 

reef fish permit will still be required to 

harvest, land, and sell grouper and 

tilefish. This document is to inform 

current and potential participants of the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program 

that possession of IFQ shares or 

allocation after this date may not ensure 

participation under future management 

of the program. The Council could 

consider options that include reestablishing a requirement to possess a 

Gulf commercial reef fish permit to 

receive shares or allocation under the 

program. If the Council prepares an 

amendment to the Fishery Management 

Plan (FMP) for Reef Fish Resources in 

the Gulf to restrict participation in the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program 

in relation to this control date, an 

analysis of the specific biological, 

economic, and social effects of the 

action will be prepared at that time. 

Publication of the control date in the 

Federal Register informs participants of 

the Council’s considerations, and gives 

notice to anyone entering the fishery 

after the control date that they would 

not be assured of future access to the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program 

should management changes be 

implemented that would restrict 

participation. Implementation of any 

such changes would require preparation 

of an amendment to the FMP and 

publication of a notice of availability 

and proposed rule in the Federal 

Register with pertinent public comment 

periods. 

Since the first control date document 

of November 1, 1989, 54 FR 46755 

(November 7, 1989), the Council has 

established a total of six control dates 

for various aspects of the reef fish 

fishery. As stated in the documents, 

they were intended to provide 

additional notice to the public that the 

Council was considering certain future 

management actions potentially

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 235 / Monday, December 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules 72567 

restricting public access to fishery 

resources. The most recent control date 

was a similar control date for the Gulf 

Red Snapper IFQ program, which 

published on November 30, 2011 (76 FR 

74038). This document considered a 

control date of January 1, 2012, and 

stated that anyone entering the program 

after the control date will not be assured 

future access should a management 

regime that limits participation in the 

program be prepared and implemented. 

To date, the Council and NMFS have 

not implemented any management 

changes to the Gulf Red Snapper IFQ 

Program that utilize this control date. 

The current document does not 

supersede any of the prior documents, 

and is intended only to provide 

additional public notice of potential 

future action being considered relative 

to the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ 

program. 

The establishment of a control date 

does not commit the Council or NMFS 

to any particular management regime. 

The Council may or may not make use 

of this control date as part of the 

requirements for participation in the 

Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program. 

Fishermen are not guaranteed future 

participation in the program, regardless 

of their entry date. The Council may 

take action that would affect 

participants who were in the program 

prior to the control date or the Council 

may choose to take no further action to 

control entry or access to the Gulf 

Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program. 

This notification also gives the public 

notice that interested participants 

should locate and preserve records that 

substantiate and verify their 

participation in the Gulf reef fish 

fishery.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; SnapperGrouper Fishery off the Southern 

Atlantic States; Amendment 29 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes regulations to 

implement Amendment 29 to the 

Fishery Management Plan for the 

Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South 

Atlantic Region (FMP) (Amendment 29), 

as prepared and submitted by the South 

Atlantic Fishery Management Council 

(Council). If implemented, Amendment 

29 and this rule would revise annual 

catch limits (ACLs) and recreational 

annual catch targets (ACTs) for four 

unassessed snapper-grouper species and 

three snapper-grouper species 

complexes based on an update to the 

acceptable biological catch (ABC) 

control rule and revised ABCs for 14 

snapper-grouper stocks. Additionally, 

this proposed rule would revise 

management measures for gray 

triggerfish in Federal waters in the 

South Atlantic region, including 

modifying minimum size limits, 

establishing a split commercial season, 

and establishing a commercial trip limit. 

The purpose of this rule is to revise 

ACLs and recreational ACTs for select 

snapper-grouper species using the best 

scientific information available, and to 

address concerns about inconsistent 

minimum size limits among states, and 

early harvest closures in the commercial 

sector for gray triggerfish. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before January 7, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the proposed rule, identified by

the comment period, may not be 

considered by NMFS. All comments 

received are a part of the public record 

and will generally be posted for public

which includes an environmental 

assessment, an initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis (IRFA) and a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

snapper-grouper fishery of the South 

Atlantic is managed under the FMP. The 

FMP was prepared by the Council and 

is implemented through regulations at 

50 CFR part 622 under the authority of 

the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(Magnuson-Stevens Act). 

Background 

The Council’s Scientific and 

Statistical Committee (SSC) has 

recommended revising the Council’s 

ABC control rule to incorporate new 

methodology for species without 

assessments but for which there are 

reliable catch data. Amendment 29 

updates the ABC control rule for 

unassessed stocks and revises the ABCs 

for 14 snapper-grouper species through 

application of the new control rule. 

Amendment 29 and this proposed rule 

would revise ACLs and recreational 

ACTs for three snapper-grouper species 

complexes and four snapper-grouper 

species based on the revised ABCs. The 

Council’s SSC determined that these 

management measures are based on the 

best scientific information available. 

A stock assessment for the South 

Atlantic stock of gray triggerfish was 

initiated in 2013 but completion of the
