Background on the Convention
The Convention is concerned with the
conservation and management of highly
migratory fish stocks (HMS) and the
management of fisheries for HMS. The
objective of the Convention is to ensure,
through effective management, the longterm conservation and sustainable use
of HMS in the western and central
Pacific Ocean (WCPO). To accomplish
this objective, the Convention
established the Commission, which
includes Members, Cooperating Nonmembers, and Participating Territories
(collectively referred to here as
‘‘members’’). The United States of
America is a Member. American Samoa,
Guam, and the Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands are
Participating Territories.
As a Contracting Party to the
Convention and a Member of the
Commission, the United States
implements, as appropriate,
conservation and management measures
adopted by the Commission and other
decisions of the Commission. The
WCPFC Implementation Act (16 U.S.C.
6901 et seq.), authorizes the Secretary of
Commerce, in consultation with the
Secretary of State and the Secretary of
the Department in which the United
States Coast Guard is operating (the
Department of Homeland Security), to
promulgate such regulations as may be
necessary to carry out the obligations of
the United States under the Convention,
including the decisions of the
Commission. The WCPFC
Implementation Act further provides
that the Secretary of Commerce shall
ensure consistency, to the extent
practicable, of fishery management
programs administered under the
WCPFC Implementation Act and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(MSA; 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), as well
as other specific laws (see 16 U.S.C.
6905(b)). The Secretary of Commerce
has delegated the authority to
promulgate regulations under the
WCPFC Implementation Act to NMFS.
A map showing the boundaries of the
area of application of the Convention
(Convention Area), which comprises the
majority of the WCPO, can be found on
the WCPFC website at: www.wcpfc.int/
doc/convention-area-map.
Background on WCPFC Emergency
Decisions
On March 27, 2020, in response to
public health concerns related to the
COVID–19 pandemic, NMFS published
an emergency rule providing authority
to waive certain observer requirements
(85 FR 17285). This rule was
