This proposed rule is necessary to improve efficiency, provide economic benefits for the hook-and-line C/P sector, and minimize potential fishery interactions with killer whales. This proposed rule would promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI FMP) and other applicable laws. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/10/23/2024-24544/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-authorizing-hook-and-line-catcherprocessors-to-use-longline Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Fisheries Off West Coast States; Pacific Coast Groundfish Fishery; 2023-2024 Biennial Specifications and Management Measures; Inseason Adjustments A Rule by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on 10/22/2024This final rule announces routine inseason adjustments to management measures in commercial groundfish fisheries.
