SUMMARY:

Jkt 259001
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the summer
flounder fishery are found in 50 CFR
648.100 through 648.110. These
regulations require annual specification
of a commercial quota that is
apportioned among the coastal states
from Maine through North Carolina. The
process to set the annual commercial
quota and the percent allocated to each
state is described in § 648.102 and final
2022 allocations were published on
December 23, 2021 (86 FR 72859).
The final rule implementing
Amendment 5 to the Summer Flounder
Fishery Management Plan (FMP), as
published in the Federal Register on
December 17, 1993 (58 FR 65936),
provided a mechanism for transferring
summer flounder commercial quota
from one state to another. Two or more
states, under mutual agreement and
with the concurrence of the NMFS
Greater Atlantic Regional Administrator,
can transfer or combine summer
flounder commercial quota under
§ 648.102(c)(2). The Regional
Administrator is required to consider
three criteria in the evaluation of
requests for quota transfers or
combinations: The transfer or
combinations would not preclude the
overall annual quota from being fully
harvested; the transfer addresses an
unforeseen variation or contingency in
the fishery; and the transfer is consistent
with the objectives of the FMP and the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act. The
Regional Administrator has determined
these three criteria have been met for
the transfer approved in this
notification.
North Carolina is transferring 19,458
lb (8,826 kg) to Virginia through mutual
agreement of the States. This transfer
was requested to repay landings made
by an out-of-state permitted vessel
under a safe harbor agreement. The
revised summer flounder quotas for
2022 are: North Carolina, 3,314,881 lb

(1,503,605 kg) and Virginia, 2,805,674 lb
(1,272,632 kg).
Classification
NMFS issues this action pursuant to
section 305(d) of the Magnuson-Stevens
Act. This action is required by 50 CFR
648.162(e)(1)(i) through (iii), which was
issued pursuant to section 304(b), and is
exempted from review under Executive
Order 12866.
Authority: 16 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.
Dated: December 19, 2022.
