action in response to the determination, to end overfishing. 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. In addition, for the fisheries 
experiencing overfishing, the responsible Councils (or the Secretary)
