Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 158 / Wednesday, August 17, 2022 / Notices
p.m. on September 9, 2022. During the
hearings, Council staff will provide an
overview of actions being considered in
each amendment. Staff will answer
clarifying questions on the presented
information and the proposed actions.
Following the presentation and
questions, the public will have the
opportunity to provide comments on the
amendment.
Amendment 51 to the Snapper Grouper
FMP
The Council must adjust catch levels
for snowy grouper in response to the
most recent stock assessment for the
species in the region conducted through
the Southeast Data, Assessment, and
Review (SEDAR) stock assessment
process, SEDAR 36 Update (2020). The
assessment indicated the stock
continues to be overfished and is
undergoing overfishing. A rebuilding
plan is already in place for snowy
grouper; however, catch levels must be
adjusted based on the new catch level
recommendations from the Council’s
Scientific and Statistical Committee
(SSC). The Council is considering
modifications to the overfishing limit,
acceptable biological catch, annual
catch limit, sector allocations, and
recreational management and
accountability measures.
Amendment 52 to the Snapper Grouper
FMP
The stock of golden tilefish in the
South Atlantic was most recently
assessed through SEDAR 66 (2020),
which indicated the stock is not
overfished nor undergoing overfishing
but is near the overfishing threshold.
The Council must adjust catch levels
based on the new catch level
recommendations from the Council’s
SSC. The Council is considering
modifications to the overfishing limit,
acceptable biological catch, annual
catch limit, sector allocations,
commercial management measures, and
recreational accountability measures.
The Council is also considering
modifications to South Atlantic blueline
tilefish recreational management and
accountability measures.
