ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This action serves as a notice
that NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary), has found that
the following stocks are subject to
overfishing or overfished: South
Atlantic golden tilefish and the Western
and Central Pacific stock of Pacific
bigeye tuna are subject to overfishing;
South Atlantic blueline tilefish is still
subject to overfishing; and Pacific

is occurring, a stock is in an overfished

Pursuant
to section 304(e)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), and
implementing regulations at 50 CFR
600.310(e)(2) and (j)(1), NMFS, on
behalf of the Secretary, must notify
Councils, and publish in the Federal
Register, whenever it determines that a
stock or stock complex is subject to
overfishing, overfished, or approaching
an overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that South
Atlantic golden tilefish is subject to
overfishing. This determination is based
on the most recent stock assessment
(SEDAR 25 Update), finalized in 2016,
which supports a finding of subject to
overfishing because estimates of fishing
mortality (F) are above the maximum
fishing mortality threshold, or MFMT.
The South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council has been informed that they
must take action to end overfishing
immediately on this stock.
NMFS has determined that the
Western and Central Pacific (WCP) stock
of Pacific bigeye tuna is subject to
overfishing. This determination is based
on a 2014 stock assessment update
conducted by the Secretariat of the
Pacific Community, and accepted by the
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries
Commission. NMFS has determined that
section 304(i) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) applies
because (1) the overfishing of the WCP
stock of Pacific bigeye tuna is due
largely to excessive international fishing
pressure, and (2) the applicable regional
fishery management organizations have
inadequate measures in place to correct
the problem. NMFS has informed the
Western Pacific Fishery Management
Council and the Pacific Fishery
Management Council of their
obligations for international and
domestic management under MagnusonStevens Act sections 304(i) and 304(i)(2)
to address international and domestic
impacts, respectively. The Councils
must develop recommendations for
domestic regulations to address the
relative impact of the domestic fishing
fleet on the stock, and develop
recommendations to the Secretary of
State and Congress for international

actions to end overfishing on the WCP
stock of bigeye tuna.
NMFS has determined that South
Atlantic blueline tilefish is still subject
to overfishing. A 2014 stock assessment
determined that the stock was subject to
overfishing (79 FR 28686, May 19,
2014). This stock was not assessed in
2016, so landings were compared to the
overfishing level (OFL). Final landings
in 2015 exceeded the OFL for this stock,
which supports a determination of
subject to overfishing. NMFS continues
to work with the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council to end overfishing.
In addition, NMFS has determined
that South Atlantic red snapper
continues to be subject to overfishing
and is in an overfished condition. A
2010 assessment determined that this
stock was subject to overfishing and in
an overfished condition. That
assessment found that estimates of F
were above the MFMT and the stock
size was less than the minimum stock
size threshold, or MSST. This latest
determination is based on the most
recent stock assessment (SEDAR 41),
finalized in 2016, which provides no
basis to change the determination that
the stock is subject to overfishing and is
overfished. NMFS continues to work
with the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council to end overfishing
and rebuild this stock.
Finally, NMFS has determined that
Pacific bluefin tuna in the North Pacific
Ocean continues to be subject to
overfishing and is in an overfished
condition. A 2014 assessment
determined that this stock was subject
to overfishing and in an overfished
condition (80 FR 12621, March 10,
2015). This latest determination is based
on a 2016 assessment conducted by the
International Scientific Committee for
Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the
North Pacific Ocean, in conjunction
with NOAA scientists.
NMFS has determined that section
304(i) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
applies because (1) the overfishing and
overfished condition of Pacific bluefin
tuna in the North Pacific Ocean is due
largely to excessive international fishing
pressure, and (2) there are no
management measures (or efficiency
measures) to end overfishing under an
international agreement to which the
United States is a party. NMFS has
informed the Western Pacific Fishery
Management Council and the Pacific
Fishery Management Council of their
obligations for international and
domestic management under MagnusonStevens Act sections 304(i) and 304(i)(2)
to address international and domestic
impacts, respectively. The Councils
must develop recommendations for

the Pacific bluefin tuna in the North
Pacific Ocean.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 304(e)(2) of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-
Stevens Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), and implementing regulations at 50
CFR 600.310(e)(2) and (j)(1), NMFS, on behalf of the Secretary, must
notify Councils, and publish in the Federal Register, whenever it
determines that a stock or stock complex is subject to overfishing,
overfished, or approaching an overfished condition.
NMFS has determined that South Atlantic golden tilefish is subject
to overfishing. This determination is based on the most recent stock
assessment (SEDAR 25 Update), finalized in 2016, which supports a
finding of subject to overfishing because estimates of fishing
mortality (F) are above the maximum fishing mortality threshold, or
MFMT. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council has been informed
that they must take action to end overfishing immediately on this
stock.
NMFS has determined that the Western and Central Pacific (WCP)
stock of Pacific bigeye tuna is subject to overfishing. This
determination is based on a 2014 stock assessment update conducted by
the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, and accepted by the Western
and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission. NMFS has determined that
section 304(i) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) applies because (1) the
overfishing of the WCP stock of Pacific bigeye tuna is due largely to
excessive international fishing pressure, and (2) the applicable
regional fishery management organizations have inadequate measures in
place to correct the problem. NMFS has informed the Western Pacific
Fishery Management Council and the Pacific Fishery Management Council
of their obligations for international and domestic management under
Magnuson-Stevens Act sections 304(i) and 304(i)(2) to address
international and domestic impacts, respectively. The Councils must
develop recommendations for domestic regulations to address the
relative impact of the domestic fishing fleet on the stock, and develop
recommendations to the Secretary of State and Congress for
international actions to end overfishing on the WCP stock of bigeye
tuna.
NMFS has determined that South Atlantic blueline tilefish is still
subject to overfishing. A 2014 stock assessment determined that the
stock was subject to overfishing (79 FR 28686, May 19, 2014). This
stock was not assessed in 2016, so landings were compared to the
overfishing level (OFL). Final landings in 2015 exceeded the OFL for
this stock, which supports a determination of subject to overfishing.
NMFS continues to work with the South Atlantic Fishery Management
Council to end overfishing.
In addition, NMFS has determined that South Atlantic red snapper
continues to be subject to overfishing and is in an overfished
condition. A 2010 assessment determined that this stock was subject to
overfishing and in an overfished condition. That assessment found that
estimates of F were above the MFMT and the stock size was less than the
minimum stock size threshold, or MSST. This latest determination is

Finally, NMFS has determined that Pacific bluefin tuna in the North
Pacific Ocean continues to be subject to overfishing and is in an
overfished condition. A 2014 assessment determined that this stock was
subject to overfishing and in an overfished condition (80 FR 12621,
March 10, 2015). This latest determination is based on a 2016
assessment conducted by the International Scientific Committee for Tuna
and Tuna-like Species in the North Pacific Ocean, in conjunction with
NOAA scientists.
NMFS has determined that section 304(i) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act
applies because (1) the overfishing and overfished condition of Pacific
bluefin tuna in the North Pacific Ocean is due largely to excessive
international fishing pressure, and (2) there are no management
measures (or efficiency measures) to end overfishing under an
international agreement to which the United States is a party. NMFS has
informed the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council and the Pacific
Fishery Management Council of their obligations for international and
domestic management under Magnuson-Stevens Act sections 304(i) and
304(i)(2) to address international and domestic impacts, respectively.
The Councils must develop recommendations for domestic regulations to
address the relative impact of the domestic fishing fleet on the stock,
and develop recommendations to the Secretary of State and Congress for
international actions to end overfishing and rebuild the Pacific
bluefin tuna in the North Pacific Ocean.
