Fisheries of the Northeastern United
States; Summer Flounder Fishery;
Quota Transfer
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; inseason quota
transfer.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that it has
approved the request of the State of
Rhode Island to transfer 50,186 lb
(22,764 kg) of commercial summer
flounder quota to the States of Maine,
Connecticut, New York, Delaware, and
Maryland, and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, in accordance with the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission (ASMFC) Addendum XV to
the Summer Flounder, Scup, and Black
Sea Bass Fishery Management Plan
(FMP). In addition, NMFS is revising
commercial summer flounder quota
numbers for the States of North Carolina
and Maryland from those published in
a previous Addendum XV transfer. By
this action, NMFS adjusts the quotas
and announces the revised commercial
quota for each state involved.
DATES: Effective June 16, 2005 through
December 31, 2005, unless NMFS
publishes a superseding document in
the Federal Register.

Specialist, (978) 281–9104, FAX (978)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the summer
flounder fishery are found at 50 CFR
part 648. The regulations require annual
specification of a commercial quota that
is apportioned among the coastal states
from North Carolina through Maine. The
process to set the annual commercial
quota and the percent allocated to each
state are described in § 648.100.
The ASMFC adopted Addendum XV
to the FMP in November 2004. The
Addendum is being implemented under
the adaptive management and
framework procedures that are part of
the FMP. Addendum XV establishes a
program, for 2005 and 2006, that
allocates the increase in commercial
summer flounder quota (from the 2004
amount) differently than the existing

21JNR1
35558
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 21, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
allocation scheme, in order to reduce
the amount of fish that must be
discarded as bycatch in the commercial
fishery in states with relatively low
summer flounder quotas. The transfer of
quota from donor states will allow
recipient states to marginally increase
trip limits, thereby decreasing the
amount of summer flounder discarded
at sea.
The final rule implementing
Amendment 5 to the FMP that was
published on December 17, 1993 (58 FR
65936), provided a mechanism for
summer flounder quota to be transferred
from one state to another. Two or more
states, under mutual agreement and
with the approval of the Administrator,
Northeast Region, NMFS (Regional
Administrator), can transfer or combine
summer flounder commercial quota
under § 648.100(d). The Regional
Administrator is required to consider
the criteria set forth in § 648.100(d)(3) in
the evaluation of requests for quota
transfers or combinations. The Regional
Administrator has reviewed those
criteria and approved the quota transfer
requests submitted by the State of
Rhode Island.
Consistent with Addendum XV,
Rhode Island, a designated ‘‘donor
state,’’ has voluntarily employed the
quota transfer provisions of the FMP to
transfer a total of 50,186 lb (22,764 kg)
to be allocated as follows: Maine 937 lb
(425 kg); Connecticut 13,095 lb (5,940
kg); New York 9,763 lb (4,428 kg);
Delaware 2,887 lb (1,310); Maryland
13,230 lb (6,001 kg); and Massachusetts
10,274 lb (4,660 kg) (see Table 1).
In addition, this action corrects a
previous quota transfer involving North
Carolina and Maryland published on
June 7, 2005 (70 FR 33042). This
previous quota transfer notice effected
an Addendum XV transfer from North
Carolina to Maine, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New York, and Maryland.
In agreeing to this previous transfer,
Maryland accepted only half of the
quota offered by North Carolina, but the
transfer published on June 7, 2005,
inadvertently transferred to Maryland
the full amount offered by North
Carolina (23,153 lb (10,502 kg)).
Therefore, this action deducts half of
this amount (11,577 lb (5,251 kg)) from
Maryland and restores the same amount
to North Carolina. The corrected quotas
involved in that transfer are listed in
Table 1.
