SUMMARY: This action serves as a notice
that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary), has determined
that South Atlantic gag is undergoing
overfishing and is approaching an
overfished condition and that South
Atlantic vermilion snapper is also
experiencing overfishing. NMFS
notified the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council (Council) of its
determination by letter. The Council is
required to take action within 1 year
following notification by NMFS that
overfishing is occurring, a stock is
approaching overfishing, a stock is
overfished, a stock is approaching an
overfished condition, or existing
remedial action taken to end overfishing
or rebuild an overfished stock has not
resulted in adequate progress.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Debra Lambert, telephone: (301) 713–
2341.
Pursuant
to sections 304(e)(2) and (e)(7) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C.
1854(e)(2) and (e)(7), and implementing
regulations at 50 CFR 600.310(e)(2),
NMFS sends written notification to
fishery management councils when
overfishing is occurring, a stock is
approaching overfishing, a stock is
overfished, a stock is approaching an
overfished condition, or existing action
taken to end previously identified
overfishing or rebuilding a previously
identified overfished stock or stock
complex has not resulted in adequate
progress. On June 12, 2007, the NMFS
Southeast Regional Administrator sent a
letter notifying the Council that South
Atlantic gag is undergoing overfishing
and approaching an overfished
condition and that South Atlantic
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

vermilion snapper is also experiencing
overfishing.
A copy of the notification letter sent
to the Council for the aforementioned
determination is available at https://
www.nmfs.noaa.gov/sfa/
statusoffisheries/SOSmain.htm.
Within 1 year of a notification under
Magnuson-Stevens Act sections
304(e)(2) or (e)(7), the respective
Council must take remedial action in
response to the notification, to end
overfishing if overfishing is occurring;
rebuild an overfished stock or stock
complex to the abundance that can
produce maximum sustainable yield
within an appropriate time frame;
prevent overfishing from occurring if a
stock is approaching overfishing; and/or
prevent a stock from becoming
overfished if it is approaching an
overfished condition (see implementing
regulations at 50 CFR 600.310(e)(3)).
Such action must be submitted to NMFS
within 1 year of notification and may be
in the form of a new fishery
management plan (FMP), an FMP
amendment, or proposed regulations.
