FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Douglas Christel, Fishery Policy Analyst, 978–281–9141. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council developed temporary measures to regulate Atlantic chub mackerel catch as part of Amendment 18 to the Atlantic Mackerel Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (August 28, 2017; 82 FR 40721). Those measures were intended to regulate a developing commercial fishery for Atlantic chub mackerel until the Council could formally integrate this species as a stock in the Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and Butterfish Fishery Management Plan (FMP) through a separate action. Those temporary measures, including an annual landing limit, possession limit, and permitting and reporting requirements, became effective on September 27, 2017, and expire on December 31, 2020. The Council initiated Amendment 21 in December 2016 to implement long-term measures for Atlantic chub mackerel. The purpose of this amendment is to implement measures required by the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) to manage Atlantic chub mackerel as a stock in the FMP. Specifically, this action proposes the following measures: • Atlantic chub mackerel essential fish habitat for all life stages; • An Atlantic chub mackerel management unit from Maine through North Carolina where management measures would apply; • A yearly process to set specifications that considers scientific and management uncertainty, Atlantic chub mackerel catch from South Carolina–Florida, and discards; • 2020–2022 specifications, including a 2,300-mt acceptable biological catch and optimum yield, a 2,261.7-mt annual catch limit for both commercial and recreational catch after deducting an estimate of South Carolina–Florida catch (38.2 mt), a 2,171.2-mt annual catch target (ACT) after deducting a 4 percent management uncertainty buffer, and a 2,040.9-mt total allowable landing limit (TAL) after deducting a 6-percent discard estimate; • Accountability measures to prevent the ACT from being exceeded, including an 18.1-mt (40,000 lb) possession limit once 90 percent of the TAL is landed, a 4.5-mt (10,000-lb) possession limit once 100 percent of the TAL is landed), E:\FR\FM\14FEP1.SGM 14FEP1
