changes to improve operation of the
butterfish discard cap in the longfin
squid fishery and the directed butterfish
fishery. Framework 8 allocates the
butterfish discard cap among trimesters
in the same percentages used for the
trimester allocations for longfin squid:
43 percent to Trimester I (January to
April), 17 percent to Trimester II (May
to August), and 40 percent to Trimester
III (September to December). Each
trimester will close when it is estimated
that 95 percent of the butterfish discard
cap has been taken. In addition,
Framework 8 allows NMFS to transfer,
in either direction, up to 50 percent of
unused quota between the butterfish
landing allocation and the discard cap
on the longfin squid fishery. This would
occur near the end of the year in order
to optimally utilize the butterfish that is
available for fishing each year.
DATES: Effective May 2, 2014.

Background
A proposed rule for Framework 8 was
published on January 31, 2014 (79 FR
5365), with a comment period ending
March 3, 2014. Additional background
information and detail on why and how
Framework Adjustment 6 was
developed were in the proposed rule,
and are not repeated here.
Framework 8 adjusts the trimester
allocations for the butterfish discard cap
and creates distinct closure thresholds
for each trimester. Beginning January
2014, this action sets the initial
allocation Trimester I at 43 percent
(down from 65 percent), the initial
allocation for Trimester II at 17 percent
(up from 3.3 percent), and the initial
allocation for Trimester III at 40 percent
(up from 31.7 percent). These adjusted
trimester allocations for the butterfish
discard cap match the trimester
allocations for the directed longfin
squid fishery. Framework 8 also
requires that each trimester will close
when the longfin squid fishery has
