ACTION: Proposed rule; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
NMFS proposes
modifications to the commercial scup
quota periods, as recommended by the
Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management
Council. The proposed change would
move the month of October from the
Summer Period to the Winter II Period.
This rule is intended to increase fishing
opportunities by allowing for more scup
to be landed by extending the Winter II
Period when possession limits are
higher.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received by
5 p.m. local time, on March 13, 2018.
ADDRESSES: An environmental
assessment (EA) was prepared for this
action and describes the proposed
measures and other considered
alternatives, and provides an analysis of
the impacts of the proposed measures
and alternatives. Copies of the Scup
Commercial Quota Period Modification
Framework, including the EA, are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General Background
Scup (Stenotomus chrysops) is
managed jointly by the Mid-Atlantic
Fishery Management Council and the
Atlantic States Marine Fisheries
Commission through the Summer
Flounder, Scup, Black Sea Bass Fishery
Management Plan (FMP). The
management unit specified in the FMP
for scup is U.S. waters of the Atlantic
Ocean from 35°13.3′ N lat. (the latitude
of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, Buxton,
NC) northward to the U.S./Canada

border. The scup stock is not overfished
and it is not experiencing overfishing.
Currently, the scup commercial quota
is broken into three periods: Winter I
(January 1 through April 30) receives
45.11 percent of the annual quota;
Summer (May 1 through October 31)
receives 38.95 percent; and Winter II
(November 1 through December 31)
receives an initial 15.94 percent with
any unused Winter I quota rolled over
into Winter II. Federal trip limits are
imposed during the two Winter Periods;
states impose landing restrictions
during the Summer Period. The Council
established these quota periods in 1997
to recognize that there are two
commercial fishing fleets (62 FR 27978;
May 22, 1997). Larger vessels harvest
scup offshore during the winter months
and smaller vessels harvest scup inshore
during the summer. Without the quota
periods and Federal trip limits, the
larger vessels would be able to fish the
full annual quota early in the year,
leaving no quota for the smaller inshore
fleet.
The scup stock was declared rebuilt
in 2009 based on the findings of a stock
assessment. The commercial scup quota
nearly doubled between 2010 and 2011.
From 2011 to 2016, commercial scup
landings have been 20 to 47 percent
below the annual commercial quota.
Stakeholders have stated that the more
restrictive possession limits during the
Summer Period, compared to the Winter
I and II Periods, have prevented
fishermen from landing high volumes of
scup when they are available. This
limits the ability of the fishery to
achieve the annual commercial quota
and results in forgone yield.
Proposed Action
In order to address these limits on the
ability of the fishery to achieve the
annual commercial quota, this action
would move the month of October from
the Summer Period to the Winter II
Period (Table 1). This action would
facilitate more landings at higher
possession limits during longer periods
of time. This change would be effective
for October 2018 and is expected to
have positive socioeconomic impacts
compared to maintaining the status quo
quota periods.
This action only considers a change to
the seasons of the three quota periods.
It is not changing the possession limits
or the amount of quota allocated
annually to each period.
