Download as PDF 56182 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 209 / Friday, October 30, 2009 / Notices concerning Atlantic herring. At the request of the Council, the SSC was asked to revisit the size of the 40% buffer between the herring Overfishing Level and Acceptable Biological Catch to consider whether application of recent years retrospective difference of about 17% is sufficient to account for scientific uncertainty caused by retrospective patterns. Prior to a lunch break the Herring Committee will ask the Council to approve final recommendations for multi-year herring fishery specifications (2010–12). The specifications will address overfishing levels, acceptable biological catch, management uncertainty and, among other issues, the Total Allowable Catch and Annual Catch Limits for each of the four herring management areas. The Council also will receive an update on the development of catch monitoring alternatives to be included in Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring Fishery Management Plan (FMP) and based on the discussion, may restructure the alternatives. This and the previous herring agenda item will be discussed until the meeting adjourns at the end of the afternoon. sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES Wednesday, November 18, 2009 The second day of the Council meeting will begin with a review and approval of final measures for inclusion in Framework 21 to the Atlantic Sea Scallop FMP.

The Council also will review preliminary analyses concerning the potential impacts of various yellowtail flounder allocation alternatives on the scallop fishery. The allocation is being considered in a specifications package for the groundfish fishery for fishing years 2010–12. The Groundfish Committee will ask the Council to approve Framework Adjustment 44 to the Northeast Multispecies FMP.
