SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IFQ
program for Gulf grouper and tilefish
species (Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ
SUMMARY:
PO 00000

Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
Program) was implemented on January
1, 2010 (74 FR 44732, August 31, 2009).
The species included in the IFQ
program are deep-water groupers
(yellowedge grouper, misty grouper,
warsaw grouper, snowy grouper,
speckled hind, plus scamp under
certain circumstances); red grouper, gag,
and other shallow-water groupers (black
grouper, scamp, yellowfin grouper, rock
hind, red hind, yellowmouth grouper,
plus warsaw grouper and speckled hind
under certain circumstances); and
tilefishes (goldface tilefish, blackline
tilefish, anchor tilefish, blueline tilefish,
and tilefish). The program includes a
provision that, beginning January 1,
2015, all U.S. citizens or permanent
resident aliens are eligible to receive
transfers of grouper and tilefish IFQ
shares or allocation. A Gulf commercial
reef fish permit will still be required to
harvest, land, and sell grouper and
tilefish. This document is to inform
current and potential participants of the
Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program
that possession of IFQ shares or
allocation after this date may not ensure
participation under future management
of the program. The Council could
consider options that include reestablishing a requirement to possess a
Gulf commercial reef fish permit to
receive shares or allocation under the
program. If the Council prepares an
amendment to the Fishery Management
Plan (FMP) for Reef Fish Resources in
the Gulf to restrict participation in the
Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program
in relation to this control date, an
analysis of the specific biological,
economic, and social effects of the
action will be prepared at that time.
Publication of the control date in the
Federal Register informs participants of
the Council’s considerations, and gives
notice to anyone entering the fishery
after the control date that they would
not be assured of future access to the
Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program
should management changes be
implemented that would restrict
participation. Implementation of any
such changes would require preparation
of an amendment to the FMP and
publication of a notice of availability
and proposed rule in the Federal
Register with pertinent public comment
periods.
Since the first control date document
of November 1, 1989, 54 FR 46755
(November 7, 1989), the Council has
established a total of six control dates
for various aspects of the reef fish
fishery. As stated in the documents,
they were intended to provide
additional notice to the public that the
Council was considering certain future
management actions potentially
E:\FR\FM\08DEP1.SGM
08DEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 235 / Monday, December 8, 2014 / Proposed Rules
restricting public access to fishery
resources. The most recent control date
was a similar control date for the Gulf
Red Snapper IFQ program, which
published on November 30, 2011 (76 FR
74038). This document considered a
control date of January 1, 2012, and
stated that anyone entering the program
after the control date will not be assured
future access should a management
regime that limits participation in the
program be prepared and implemented.
To date, the Council and NMFS have
not implemented any management
changes to the Gulf Red Snapper IFQ
Program that utilize this control date.
The current document does not
supersede any of the prior documents,
and is intended only to provide
additional public notice of potential
future action being considered relative
to the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ
program.
The establishment of a control date
does not commit the Council or NMFS
to any particular management regime.
The Council may or may not make use
of this control date as part of the
requirements for participation in the
Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program.
Fishermen are not guaranteed future
participation in the program, regardless
of their entry date. The Council may
take action that would affect
participants who were in the program
prior to the control date or the Council
may choose to take no further action to
control entry or access to the Gulf
Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program.
This notification also gives the public
notice that interested participants
should locate and preserve records that
substantiate and verify their
participation in the Gulf reef fish
fishery.

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
NMFS proposes regulations to
implement Amendment 29 to the
Fishery Management Plan for the
Snapper-Grouper Fishery of the South
Atlantic Region (FMP) (Amendment 29),
as prepared and submitted by the South
Atlantic Fishery Management Council
(Council). If implemented, Amendment
29 and this rule would revise annual
catch limits (ACLs) and recreational
annual catch targets (ACTs) for four
unassessed snapper-grouper species and
three snapper-grouper species
complexes based on an update to the
acceptable biological catch (ABC)
control rule and revised ABCs for 14
snapper-grouper stocks. Additionally,
this proposed rule would revise
management measures for gray
triggerfish in Federal waters in the
South Atlantic region, including
modifying minimum size limits,
establishing a split commercial season,
and establishing a commercial trip limit.
The purpose of this rule is to revise
ACLs and recreational ACTs for select
snapper-grouper species using the best
scientific information available, and to
address concerns about inconsistent
minimum size limits among states, and
early harvest closures in the commercial
sector for gray triggerfish.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before January 7, 2015.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
on the proposed rule, identified by
‘‘NOAA–NMFS–2014–0132’’ by any of
the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
snapper-grouper fishery of the South
Atlantic is managed under the FMP. The
FMP was prepared by the Council and
is implemented through regulations at
50 CFR part 622 under the authority of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act).
Background
The Council’s Scientific and
Statistical Committee (SSC) has
recommended revising the Council’s
ABC control rule to incorporate new
methodology for species without
assessments but for which there are
reliable catch data. Amendment 29
updates the ABC control rule for
unassessed stocks and revises the ABCs
for 14 snapper-grouper species through
application of the new control rule.
Amendment 29 and this proposed rule
would revise ACLs and recreational
ACTs for three snapper-grouper species
complexes and four snapper-grouper
species based on the revised ABCs. The
Council’s SSC determined that these
management measures are based on the
best scientific information available.
A stock assessment for the South
Atlantic stock of gray triggerfish was
initiated in 2013 but completion of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The IFQ program for Gulf grouper and
tilefish species (Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program) was
implemented on January 1, 2010 (74 FR 44732, August 31, 2009). The
species included in the IFQ program are deep-water groupers (yellowedge
grouper, misty grouper, warsaw grouper, snowy grouper, speckled hind,
plus scamp under certain circumstances); red grouper, gag, and other
shallow-water groupers (black grouper, scamp, yellowfin grouper, rock
hind, red hind, yellowmouth grouper, plus warsaw grouper and speckled
hind under certain circumstances); and tilefishes (goldface tilefish,
blackline tilefish, anchor tilefish, blueline tilefish, and tilefish).
The program includes a provision that, beginning January 1, 2015, all
U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens are eligible to receive
transfers of grouper and tilefish IFQ shares or allocation. A Gulf
commercial reef fish permit will still be required to harvest, land,
and sell grouper and tilefish. This document is to inform current and
potential participants of the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program
that possession of IFQ shares or allocation after this date may not
ensure participation under future management of the program. The
Council could consider options that include re-establishing a
requirement to possess a Gulf commercial reef fish permit to receive
shares or allocation under the program. If the Council prepares an
amendment to the Fishery Management Plan (FMP) for Reef Fish Resources
in the Gulf to restrict participation in the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish
IFQ Program in relation to this control date, an analysis of the
specific biological, economic, and social effects of the action will be
prepared at that time.
Publication of the control date in the Federal Register informs
participants of the Council's considerations, and gives notice to
anyone entering the fishery after the control date that they would not
be assured of future access to the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ
Program should management changes be implemented that would restrict
participation. Implementation of any such changes would require
preparation of an amendment to the FMP and publication of a notice of
availability and proposed rule in the Federal Register with pertinent
public comment periods.
Since the first control date document of November 1, 1989, 54 FR
46755 (November 7, 1989), the Council has established a total of six
control dates for various aspects of the reef fish fishery. As stated
in the documents, they were intended to provide additional notice to
the public that the Council was considering certain future management
actions potentially
[[Page 72567]]
restricting public access to fishery resources. The most recent control
date was a similar control date for the Gulf Red Snapper IFQ program,
which published on November 30, 2011 (76 FR 74038). This document
considered a control date of January 1, 2012, and stated that anyone
entering the program after the control date will not be assured future
access should a management regime that limits participation in the
program be prepared and implemented. To date, the Council and NMFS have
not implemented any management changes to the Gulf Red Snapper IFQ
Program that utilize this control date. The current document does not
supersede any of the prior documents, and is intended only to provide
additional public notice of potential future action being considered
relative to the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program.
The establishment of a control date does not commit the Council or
NMFS to any particular management regime. The Council may or may not
make use of this control date as part of the requirements for
participation in the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ Program. Fishermen
are not guaranteed future participation in the program, regardless of
their entry date. The Council may take action that would affect
participants who were in the program prior to the control date or the
Council may choose to take no further action to control entry or access
to the Gulf Grouper and Tilefish IFQ program.
This notification also gives the public notice that interested
participants should locate and preserve records that substantiate and
verify their participation in the Gulf reef fish fishery.
