Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

ACTION: Notification of determination of
overfished and overfishing conditions.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This action serves as a notice
that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary), has determined
that northeast smooth skate, South
Atlantic red snapper, and Gulf of
Mexico gray triggerfish are overfished
and that northeast thorny skate is
subject to overfishing. NMFS notified
the respective regional fishery
management councils (Councils)
responsible for these fisheries of its
determination. The Councils are
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. In

addition, the Secretary has determined
that the highly migratory species
blacknose shark is overfished and
overfishing is occurring.

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, on behalf of the Secretary,
notifies 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 20, 2008, the NMFS
approved Amendment 30A to the
Fishery Management Plan for the Reef
Fish Resources of the Gulf of Mexico
and implemented it with a final rule
published in the Federal Register (73
FR 38139; July 3, 2008). Amendment
30A established management targets
and thresholds for Gulf of Mexico gray
triggerfish that were previously
undefined. Based on these new status
determination criteria the NMFS found
that the Gulf of Mexico gray triggerfish
is overfished using an earlier stock
assessment (SEDAR 9, 2006).
Amendment 30A includes a rebuilding
plan for Gulf of Mexico gray triggerfish.
On July 8, 2008, the NMFS Southeast
Regional Administrator sent a letter
notifying the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council (South Atlantic
Council) that South Atlantic red
snapper is overfished. The South
Atlantic Council must submit a
rebuilding plan for red snapper within
one year of that notification.
On July 21, 2008, the NMFS Northeast
Regional Administrator sent a letter
notifying the New England Fishery
Management Council (New England
Council) that smooth skate is overfished
and that thorny skate is undergoing
overfishing. Thorny skate is currently
under a rebuilding plan. The New
England Council must therefore ensure
that overfishing is ended and that the
stock rebuilds on schedule. Copies of
the notification letters sent to the fishery
management councils for the
aforementioned determinations are
available at https://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
sfa/statusoffisheries/SOSmain.htm.
