manages the groundfish fishery in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands
management area (BSAI) according to
the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP) prepared by the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council under
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act. Regulations governing fishing by
U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600
and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2015 flathead sole, rock sole, and
yellowfin sole Amendment 80
allocations of the total allowable catch
(TAC) specified in the BSAI are 11,035
metric tons (mt), 52,390 mt, and 118,962
mt as established by the final 2015 and
2016 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (80 FR 11919,
March 5, 2015) and as revised (80 FR
60073, October 5, 2015). The 2015
flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin
sole Amendment 80 ABC reserves are
43,019 mt, 101,868 mt, and 82,051 mt as
established by the final 2015 and 2016
harvest specifications for groundfish in
the BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015)
and as revised (80 FR 60073, October 5,
2015).
The Alaska Seafood cooperative has
requested that NMFS exchange 600 mt
of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock
sole Amendment 80 allocations of the
TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves under
§ 679.91(i). Therefore, in accordance
with § 679.91(i), NMFS exchanges 600
mt of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock
sole Amendment 80 allocations of the
TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves in the
BSAI. This action also decreases and
increases the TACs and Amendment 80
ABC reserves by the corresponding
amounts. Tables 11 and 13 of the final
2015 and 2016 harvest specifications for
groundfish in the BSAI (80 FR 11919,
March 5, 2015) and as revised (80 FR

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Whitney, 907-586-7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the
Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands management area (BSAI) according to the
Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian
Islands Management Area (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council under authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing fishing by U.S.
vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part
600 and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2015 flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin sole Amendment 80
allocations of the total allowable catch (TAC) specified in the BSAI
are 11,035 metric tons (mt), 52,390 mt, and 118,962 mt as established
by the final 2015 and 2016 harvest specifications for groundfish in the
BSAI (80 FR 11919, March 5, 2015) and as revised (80 FR 60073, October
5, 2015). The 2015 flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves are 43,019 mt, 101,868 mt, and 82,051 mt as

The Alaska Seafood cooperative has requested that NMFS exchange 600
mt of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock sole Amendment 80 allocations
of the TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole Amendment 80 ABC reserves

NMFS exchanges 600 mt of flathead sole and 1,350 mt of rock sole
Amendment 80 allocations of the TAC for 1,950 mt of yellowfin sole
Amendment 80 ABC reserves in the BSAI. This action also decreases and
