Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 138 / Wednesday, July 18, 2012 / Notices
The items
of discussion in the committee’s agenda
are as follows:
The Groundfish Oversight Committee
will discuss possible adjustments to
sector management measures and issues
related to setting Acceptable Biological
Catches (ABCs), Annual Catch Limits
(ACLs), and Accountability Measures
(AMs). The Committee will continue to
develop options to improve sector
monitoring, including both at-sea and
dockside monitoring. They may discuss
different funding mechanisms,
appropriate coverage levels, full
retention of allocated groundfish
species, and ACE carry-over provisions.
With respect to ABCs/ACLs/AMs, the
Committee will consider additional subACLs for the scallop fishery for stocks
such as SNE/MAB windowpane
flounder and SNE/MA winter flounder.
The Committee may also develop
options for additional sub-ACLs for
fisheries outside the Council’s
jurisdiction that catch these stocks.
Examples of fisheries that may be
affected include the fluke and scup
fisheries that are managed by the MidAtlantic Fishery Management Council
(MAFMC) and the Atlantic States
Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC),
and the squid fisheries are managed by
the MAFMC. Committee members will
also discuss additional reactive AMs for
wolffish, SNE/MA winter flounder, and
Atlantic halibut. The Committee may
also discuss other issues that may be
incorporated into the framework, such
as issues related to Georges Bank
yellowtail flounder management.
Options identified by the Committee
will be included in a future
management action (Framework
Adjustment 48) that will be considered
by the Council in the fall of 2012. The
Committee is also expected to receive a
preliminary report on the recent
assessments of Eastern Georges Bank
cod and haddock, and Georges Bank
yellowtail flounder that were conducted
by the Transboundary Resource
Assessment Committee. The Committee
may provide comments for
consideration by the Transboundary
Management Guidance Committee when
it negotiates FY 2013 quotas for these
stocks. Other business may be
discussed.
Although non-emergency issues not
contained in this agenda may come
before this group for discussion, those
issues may not be the subject of formal
action during this meeting. Action will
be restricted to those issues specifically
identified in this notice and any issues
arising after publication of this notice
that require emergency action under
