AGENCY:
Notification of harvest guideline
for crustaceans.
ACTION:
SUMMARY: NMFS announces that the
annual harvest guideline for the
commercial lobster fishery in the
Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI)
for calendar year 2006 is established at
zero lobsters.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert Harman, NMFS Pacific Islands
Regional Office, at (808) 944–2207.
Under the
regulations implementing the Fishery
Management Plan for Crustacean
Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region
(Crustaceans FMP) at 50 CFR
660.50(b)(2), every year NMFS is
required to publish a harvest guideline
for lobster Permit Area 1, which
encompasses the Exclusive Economic
Zone around the NWHI.
The fishery has been closed since
2000 for several reasons, including: (a)
as a precautionary measure to prevent
overfishing of the lobster resources
while NMFS conducts biological
research and assessment on the lobster
stocks; (b) to comply with an order of
the U.S. District Court for the District of
Hawaii to keep the NWHI commercial
lobster fishery closed until an
environmental impact statement and a
biological opinion have been prepared
for the Crustaceans FMP; and (c) to be
consistent with the NWHI Coral Reef
Ecosystem Reserve, and the current
process of designating certain waters of
the NWHI as a national marine
sanctuary.
NMFS announces the harvest
guideline for the NWHI commercial
lobster fishery for calendar year 2006 is
established as zero lobsters, and no
harvest of NWHI lobster resources is
allowed. NMFS intends to continue to
study and assess the status of the lobster
populations in the NWHI and examine
the resulting information to determine
the appropriate direction for future
fishery management actions.

addressing the following issues: (1) Is
