SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The Coast Guard and Maritime
Transportation Act of 2006 (Public Law
109–241) was signed by the President
on July 11, 2006. Section 416 of this
legislation amended section 305(i)(1) of
the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The
Magnuson-Stevens Act is the primary
statute governing management of the
nation’s marine fisheries within the U.S.
exclusive economic zone. Section
305(i)(1) establishes the Western Alaska
CDQ Program, which provides western
Alaska communities with allocations of
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands (BSAI)
groundfish, halibut, crab, and
prohibited species. These allocations
provide such communities with the
opportunity to participate and invest in
BSAI fisheries in support of economic
development activities. Revised section
305(i)(1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
contains a broad range of changes to
various aspects of the CDQ Program.
These include elements associated with
CDQ Program administration and
oversight, percentage allocations of
annual CDQ Program catch limits,
permanent eligibility status for current
CDQ communities, and CDQ fisheries
management measures. Subparagraph
PO 00000
Frm 00008
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(C) of section 305(i)(1), ‘‘Allocations to
Entities’’ directs that:
Each entity eligible to participate in the
program shall be authorized under the
program to harvest annually the same
percentage of each species allocated to the
program under subparagraph (B) that it was
authorized by the Secretary to harvest of such
species annually as of March 1, 2006, except
to the extent that its allocation is adjusted
under subparagraph (H).
Subparagraph (H) addresses the
decennial review and adjustment of
entity allocations beginning in 2012.
This notice does not address the process
that will be used to make such
adjustments; that process will be
addressed in future rulemaking. Once
such a decennial review is completed,
the percentage allocations contained in
this notice may be revised through the
adjustment process described in
subparagraph (H).
Purpose
Annual CDQ Program allocations for
approximately 36 quota categories of
BSAI groundfish, halibut, crab, and
prohibited species are distributed
among CDQ groups based on CDQ and
PSQ percentage allocations.
Historically, percentage allocations have
been established through periodic CDQ
application processes. Section
305(i)(1)(c) establishes the CDQ
percentage allocations for BSAI
groundfish, halibut, and crab at the
same levels that were in effect on March
1, 2006. The CDQ and PSQ percentage
allocations for all quota categories
(except two) that were in effect on that
date were originally approved by NMFS
on January 17, 2003, as part of the 2003–
2005 CDQ allocation process. The
expiration date for those CDQ and PSQ
percentage allocations was December
31, 2005.
On August 8, 2005, NMFS issued an
IAD that removed the December 31,
2005, expiration date from these CDQ
and PSQ percentage allocations. This
administrative determination, which
was effective on September 7, 2005,
established the CDQ percentage
allocations that were in effect on March
1, 2006, for all BSAI groundfish, halibut,
and prohibited species, as well as for all
crab species except Eastern Aleutian
Islands (EAI) golden king crab and Adak
red king crab. This IAD is available from
NMFS (see ADDRESSES).
EAI golden king crab and Adak red
king crab were allocated to the CDQ
Program on April 1, 2005, as part of the
crab rationalization program (70 FR
10174; March 2, 2005). These two crab
species had not previously been
allocated to the CDQ Program, so they
were not included in the CDQ
E:\FR\FM\31AUN1.SGM
31AUN1
51805
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 169 / Thursday, August 31, 2006 / Notices
percentage allocations that were
originally approved by NMFS on
January 17, 2003. On October 12, 2005,
NMFS issued a final agency decision
that established CDQ percentage
allocations for these two crab species
through June 30, 2006. These were the
CDQ percentage allocations in effect for
EAI golden king crab and Adak red king
crab on March 1, 2006.
The prohibited species allocated to
the CDQ Program are not allocations for
directed fisheries under sections
305(i)(1)(B) and (C) of the MagnusonStevens Act. Therefore, they are not
included among the species allocated to
the program under section 305(i)(1)(B).
Existing PSQ percentage allocations will
remain in effect under the
administrative determination issued on
August 8, 2005, unless revised through
some future final agency action.
Allocation Percentages
The tables below identify the CDQ
and PSQ percentage allocations in effect
for each CDQ group. Table 1 lists the
CDQ percentage allocations of BSAI
groundfish, crab, and halibut. Table 2

3Certain BSAI groundfish species allocated to the CDQ Program are not allocated among CDQ groups. Program allocations for northern rockfish, shortraker rockfish, and rougheye rockfish were not allocated among the CDQ groups on March 1, 2006, per NMFS’s January 17, 2003, administrative determination that approved 2003-2005 CDQ allocation percentages. No percentage allocations were in effect on March 1, 2006, for
the ‘‘other species’’ category, which is no longer allocated among CDQ groups per the recommendation of the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council (68 FR 69974, December 16, 2003). NMFS now manages these species at the CDQ program level. Finally, squid was removed from the
CDQ Program in 2001 (66 FR 13762, March 7, 2001).

2006. The CDQ and PSQ percentage allocations for all quota categories
(except two) that were in effect on that date were originally approved
by NMFS on January 17, 2003, as part of the 2003-2005 CDQ allocation
process. The expiration date for those CDQ and PSQ percentage
allocations was December 31, 2005.
On August 8, 2005, NMFS issued an IAD that removed the December 31,
2005, expiration date from these CDQ and PSQ percentage allocations.
This administrative determination, which was effective on September 7,
2005, established the CDQ percentage allocations that were in effect on
March 1, 2006, for all BSAI groundfish, halibut, and prohibited
species, as well as for all crab species except Eastern Aleutian
Islands (EAI) golden king crab and Adak red king crab. This IAD is
available from NMFS (see ADDRESSES).
EAI golden king crab and Adak red king crab were allocated to the
CDQ Program on April 1, 2005, as part of the crab rationalization
program (70 FR 10174; March 2, 2005). These two crab species had not
previously been allocated to the CDQ Program, so they were not included
in the CDQ
[[Page 51805]]
percentage allocations that were originally approved by NMFS on January
17, 2003. On October 12, 2005, NMFS issued a final agency decision that
established CDQ percentage allocations for these two crab species
through June 30, 2006. These were the CDQ percentage allocations in
effect for EAI golden king crab and Adak red king crab on March 1,
2006.
The prohibited species allocated to the CDQ Program are not
allocations for directed fisheries under sections 305(i)(1)(B) and (C)
of the Magnuson-Stevens Act. Therefore, they are not included among the
species allocated to the program under section 305(i)(1)(B). Existing
PSQ percentage allocations will remain in effect under the
administrative determination issued on August 8, 2005, unless revised
through some future final agency action.
Allocation Percentages
The tables below identify the CDQ and PSQ percentage allocations in
effect for each CDQ group. Table 1 lists the CDQ percentage allocations
of BSAI groundfish, crab, and halibut. Table 2 lists the PSQ percentage
allocations of BSAI prohibited species.

\3\Certain BSAI groundfish species allocated to the CDQ Program are not allocated among CDQ groups. Program
allocations for northern rockfish, shortraker rockfish, and rougheye rockfish were not allocated among the CDQ
groups on March 1, 2006, per NMFS's January 17, 2003, administrative determination that approved 2003-2005 CDQ
allocation percentages. No percentage allocations were in effect on March 1, 2006, for the ``other species''
category, which is no longer allocated among CDQ groups per the recommendation of the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (68 FR 69974, December 16, 2003). NMFS now manages these species at the CDQ program level.
Finally, squid was removed from the CDQ Program in 2001 (66 FR 13762, March 7, 2001).
