ACTION: Temporary rule; quota transfer.
NMFS announces that the
State of North Carolina is transferring a
portion of its 2015 commercial Atlantic
bluefish quota to the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. These quota adjustments
are necessary to comply with the
Bluefish Fishery Management Plan
quota transfer provision. This
announcement informs the public of the
revised commercial quota for each state
involved.
DATES: Effective August 5, 2015, through
December 31, 2015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Reid
Lichwell, Fishery Management
Specialist, (978) 281–9112.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the bluefish
fishery are found at 50 CFR part 648.
The regulations require annual
specification of a commercial quota that
is apportioned among the coastal states
from Florida through Maine. The
process to set the annual commercial
quota and the percent allocated to each
state are described in § 648.162.
The final rule implementing
Amendment 1 to the Bluefish Fishery
Management Plan published in the
Federal Register on July 26, 2000 (65 FR
45844), provided a mechanism for
transferring bluefish quota from one
state to another. Two or more states,
under mutual agreement and with the
concurrence of the Administrator,
Greater Atlantic Region, NMFS
(Regional Administrator), can transfer or
combine bluefish commercial quota
under § 648.162(e). The Regional
Administrator is required to consider
the criteria in § 648.162(e)(1) in the
evaluation of requests for quota transfers
or combinations.
North Carolina has agreed to transfer
200,000 lb (90,719 kg) of its 2015
commercial quota to Massachusetts.
This transfer was prompted by state
officials in Massachusetts to ensure
their commercial bluefish quota is not
exceeded. The Regional Administrator
has determined that the criteria set forth
in § 648.162(e)(1) are met. The revised
bluefish quotas for calendar year 2015
are: North Carolina, 1,480,371 lb
(671,485 kg); and Massachusetts,
552,036 lb (250,399 kg), based on the
final 2015 Atlantic Bluefish
Specifications.

This action is taken under 50 CFR
