Fisheries of the Northeastern United
States; Atlantic Herring Fishery; 2020
Management Area 3 Sub-Annual Catch
Limit Harvested
National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
Commerce.
ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS is closing the directed
fishery for Herring Management Area 3.
This closure is required because NMFS
projects that 92 percent of the catch
amount for Management Area 3 has
been caught. This action is intended to
prevent overharvest of Atlantic herring
in Management Area 3, which will
result in additional quota reductions
next year.
DATES: Effective 00:01 hr local time,
June 6, 2020, through December 31,
2020.
SUMMARY:
Aly
Pitts, Fishery Management Specialist,
and (978) 281–9352.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Regional Administrator of the Greater
Atlantic Regional Office monitors
Atlantic herring fishery catch in each of
the management areas based on vessel
and dealer reports, state data, and other
available information. The regulations at
50 CFR 648.201 require that when
Atlantic herring catch will reach 92
percent of the Management Area 3 subannual catch limit (sub-ACL), federally
permitted vessels are prohibited from
fishing for, possessing, transferring,
receiving, landing, or selling more than
2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of Atlantic herring
per trip or calendar day in or from the
specified management area.
The Regional Administrator has
projected, based on vessel and dealer
reports, and other available information,
that the Atlantic herring fleet will have
caught 92 percent of the Management
Area 3 sub-ACL by June 6, 2020.
Therefore, effective 00:01 hr local time,
June 6, 2020, vessels may not fish for,
possess, transfer, receive, land, or sell
more than 2,000 lb (907.2 kg) of Atlantic
herring per trip or calendar day, in or
from Management Area 3, through
December 31, 2020. Vessels that have
entered port before 00:01 hr local time,
June 6, 2020, may land and sell more
