Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
NMFS will hold a 1-day
Atlantic Highly Migratory Species
(HMS) Advisory Panel (AP) meeting via

meeting is to consider options for the
conservation and management of
Atlantic HMS. The meeting is open to
the public.
DATES: The AP meeting and webinar
will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
on Tuesday, May 19, 2020.
ADDRESSES: The meeting on Tuesday,

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 250001
U.S.C. 1801 et seq., as amended by the
Sustainable Fisheries Act, Public Law
104–297, provided for the establishment
of an AP to assist in the collection and
evaluation of information relevant to the
development of any FMP or FMP
amendment for Atlantic HMS. NMFS
consults with and considers the
comments and views of AP members
when preparing and implementing
FMPs or FMP amendments for Atlantic
tunas, swordfish, billfish, and sharks.
The AP has previously consulted with
NMFS on all Atlantic HMS FMPs and
FMP amendments since the inception of
the AP in 1998.
Generally AP meetings are held inperson, but because of current
restrictions on travel and public
gatherings this AP meeting will be
conducted via webinar. The intent of
this meeting is to consider alternatives
for the conservation and management of
all Atlantic tunas, swordfish, billfish,
and shark fisheries. We anticipate
discussing:
• Draft Amendment 12, which would
update the 2006 Consolidated HMS
FMP using revised National Standard
guidelines;
• A proposed rule and Environmental
Assessment to modify shark and
swordfish retention limits;
• Updates on the bluefin tuna fishery
and Amendment 13 (bluefin tuna).
We also anticipate inviting other
NMFS offices and the United States
Coast Guard to provide updates, if
available, on their activities relevant to
HMS fisheries.
Additional information on the
meeting and a copy of the draft agenda
will be posted prior to the meeting at:

Saint Matthew Island blue king crab is
still overfished, the American Samoa
Bottomfish Multi-species Complex is
now subject to overfishing and now
overfished, and the Guam Bottomfish
Multi-species Complex is now
overfished. NMFS, on behalf of the
Secretary, notifies the appropriate
regional fishery management council
(Council) whenever it determines that
overfishing is occurring, a stock is in an
overfished condition, or a stock is
approaching an overfished condition.

Pursuant
to section 304(e)(2) of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens
Act), 16 U.S.C. 1854(e)(2), 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 Saint
Matthew Island blue king crab is still
overfished. This determination is based
on the most recent assessment,
completed in 2019 using data through
2019, which indicates that the biomass
estimate remains below its threshold.
NMFS has notified the North Pacific
Fishery Management Council of the
requirements to rebuild this stock.
NMFS has determined that the
American Samoa Bottomfish Multispecies Complex is now subject to
overfishing and now overfished. This
determination is based on the most
recent assessment, completed in 2019,
using data through 2017, which
indicates that this complex is overfished
because the biomass estimate is less
than the threshold and subject to
overfishing because the fishing
mortality rate is greater than the
threshold. In addition, NMFS has
determined that the Guam Bottomfish
Multi-species Complex is now
overfished. This determination is based
on the most recent assessment,
completed in 2019, using data through
2017, which indicates that this complex
is overfished because the biomass
estimate is less than the threshold.
NMFS has notified the Western Pacific
Fishery Management Council of its
obligation to end overfishing on the
American Samoa Multi-species
Complex and rebuild both stock
complexes.
