SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On April 1, 2019, NMFS implemented Framework Adjustment 30 to the Scallop FMP (84 FR 11436; March 27, 2019), which set specifications for fishing year 2019, including carryover provisions for limited access general category (LAGC) individual fishing quota (IFQ), sea scallop access area trip allocations, and research set-aside (RSA). On April 1, 2020, NMFS implemented Framework Adjustment 32 to the Scallop FMP (85 FR 17754; March 31, 2020), which set specifications for the 2020 fishing year. Typically, a limited access vessel has 60 days (until May 30) to fish any access area carryover from the previous fishing year. An IFQ vessel can carry over up to 15 percent of the vessel’s total IFQ, which includes the vessel’s original IFQ plus the total amount of IFQ transferred PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 33027 to such vessel minus the total IFQ transferred from such vessel (either temporary or permanent), into the next fishing year. RSA projects are generally awarded in the spring, and the recipients have until June 30 the following fishing year to land the awarded scallops. Toward the end of the 2019 fishing year (March 2020), the scallop industry began to experience negative impacts due to ongoing health mandates and travel restrictions that made it difficult for vessels to make trips. These impacts include disruptions in getting supplies and the inability for crew to access ports. At its April 15, 2020, meeting, the Council requested that NMFS implement the following measures through an emergency action: • All 2019 access area carryover pounds and unharvested RSA compensation pounds from fishing year 2019 will be available for harvest for 180 days in fishing year 2020. • The Nantucket Lightship-West Access Area (NLS-West) would remain an access area during fishing year 2020 for the extent of this emergency action. • All LAGC IFQ vessels would be able to roll forward all fishing year 2019 unharvested quota for 180 days into fishing year 2020. After considering the Council’s request, NMFS is extending the carryover provisions as requested by the Council with minor changes. The Council’s emergency action request would have extended these carryover provisions through September 28, 2020. The rationale from the Council’s emergency action request stated that, ‘‘Fishing unharvested fishing year 2019 allocations during the fall months could have negative impacts on the scallop resource considering these months are known to have the lowest meat yields in comparison to the rest of the year. Fishing when meat yields are lower means catch rates will be reduced, translating to greater fishing mortality, greater area swept, and negative impacts to the scallop resource relative to if fishing occurred during the spring/ summer months.’’ On Georges Bank, scallop meat yields sharply decline in September. Further, observer data from the NLS-West (the area where the bulk of the carryover allocation remains, ∼3.2 million lb (∼1,451 mt) from fishing years 2018 and 2019 show a spike in discard/ kept all rates for flatfish beginning in September. For these reasons, this action allows LAGC IFQ vessels to carryover all fishing year 2019 unharvested quota into fishing year 2020, but only extends the access area E:\FR\FM\01JNR1.SGM 01JNR1
