NMFS announces the final
2024 and 2025 harvest specifications,
apportionments, and prohibited species
catch (PSC) allowances for the
groundfish fishery of the Bering Sea and
Aleutian Islands management area
(BSAI). This action is necessary to
establish harvest limits for groundfish
during the remainder of the 2024 and
the start of the 2025 fishing years and
to accomplish the goals and objectives
of the Fishery Management Plan for
Groundfish of the BSAI (FMP). The
2024 harvest specifications supersede
those previously set in the final 2023
and 2024 harvest specifications, and the
2025 harvest specifications will be
superseded in early 2025 when the final
2025 and 2026 harvest specifications are
published. The intended effect of this
action is to conserve and manage the
groundfish resources in the BSAI in
accordance with the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
DATES: Harvest specifications and
closures are effective from 1200 hours,
Alaska local time (A.l.t.), March 11,
2024, through 2400 hours, A.l.t.,
December 31, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Electronic copies of the
Alaska Groundfish Harvest
Specifications Final Environmental
Impact Statement (Final EIS), Record of
Decision (ROD), and the annual
Supplementary Information Reports
(SIR) to the Final EIS prepared for this
action are available from https://
www.fisheries.noaa.gov/region/alaska.
The 2023 Stock Assessment and Fishery
Evaluation (SAFE) report for the
groundfish resources of the BSAI, dated
November 2023, as well as the SAFE
reports for previous years, are available
from the North Pacific Fishery
Management Council (Council) at 1007
West Third Ave., Suite 400, Anchorage,
AK 99501, phone 907–271–2809, or

Steve Whitney, 907–586–7228.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Federal
regulations at 50 CFR part 679
implement the FMP and govern the
groundfish fisheries in the BSAI. The
Council prepared, and NMFS approved,
the FMP pursuant to the MagnusonSUMMARY:
42 CFR Part 413
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
17287
Stevens Act. General regulations
governing U.S. fisheries also appear at
50 CFR part 600.
The FMP and its implementing
regulations require NMFS, after
consultation with the Council, to
specify annually the total allowable
catch (TAC) for each target species
category. The sum of all TACs for
groundfish species in the BSAI must be
within the optimum yield (OY) range of
1.4 million to 2.0 million metric tons
(mt) (see §§ 679.20(a)(1)(i)(A) and
679.20(a)(2)). This final rule specifies
the sum of the TAC at 2.0 million mt for
2024 and 2.0 million mt for 2025. NMFS
also must specify: (1) apportionments of
TAC; (2) prohibited species catch (PSC)
allowances and prohibited species quota
(PSQ) reserves established by § 679.21;
(3) seasonal allowances of pollock,
Pacific cod, and Atka mackerel TAC; (4)
American Fisheries Act (AFA)
allocations; (5) Amendment 80
allocations; (6) Community
Development Quota (CDQ) reserve
amounts established by
§ 679.20(b)(1)(ii); (7) acceptable
biological catch (ABC) surpluses and
reserves for CDQ groups and any
Amendment 80 cooperatives for
flathead sole, rock sole, and yellowfin
sole; and (8) halibut discard mortality
rates (DMR). The final harvest
specifications set forth in tables 1
through 26 of this action satisfy these
requirements.
Section 679.20(c)(3)(i) further requires
that NMFS consider public comment on
the proposed harvest specifications and,
after consultation with the Council,
publish final harvest specifications in
the Federal Register. The proposed
2024 and 2025 harvest specifications for
the groundfish fishery of the BSAI were
published in the Federal Register on
December 5, 2023 (88 FR 84278).
Comments were invited and accepted
through January 4, 2024. As discussed
in the Response to Comments section
below, NMFS received 5 letters raising
17 distinct comments during the public
comment period for the proposed BSAI
groundfish harvest specifications.
NMFS’s responses are addressed in the
Response to Comments section below.
NMFS consulted with the Council on
the final 2024 and 2025 harvest
specifications during the December
2023 Council meeting. After considering
public comments during public
meetings and submitted for the
proposed rule (88 FR 84278, December
5, 2023), as well as current biological,
ecosystem, and socioeconomic data,
NMFS implements in this final rule the
final 2024 and 2025 harvest
specifications as recommended by the
Council.
