ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of
availability of a draft environmental
assessment; request for comments.
AGENCY:
NMFS is proposing
regulations under the Tuna Conventions
Act of 1950, as amended (TCA), to
implement Inter-American Tropical
Tuna Commission (IATTC) Resolution
C–24–02 (Measures for the Conservation
and Management of Bluefin Tuna in the
Eastern Pacific Ocean) adopted by the
IATTC in September 2024. This
proposed rule would implement annual
and trip limits on United States
commercial catch of Pacific bluefin tuna
(Thunnus orientalis) (PBF) in the
eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO) for 2025–
2026. This action is necessary to
conserve PBF and for the United States
to satisfy its obligations as a member of
the IATTC. In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), NMFS also announces the
availability of a draft environmental
assessment (EA) that analyzes the
potential effects of the associated
proposed rule.
DATES: Comments on the proposed rule,
draft environmental assessment, and
supporting documents must be
submitted in writing by January 29,
2025.
ADDRESSES: A plain language summary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background on the IATTC
The United States is a member of the
IATTC, which was established in 1949
and operates under the Convention for
the Strengthening of the Inter-American
Tropical Tuna Commission Established
by the 1949 Convention between the
United States of America and the
Republic of Costa Rica (Antigua
Convention).
The IATTC consists of 21 member
nations and 5 cooperating non-member
nations. The IATTC facilitates scientific
research into, as well as the
conservation and management of, tuna
and tuna-like species in the IATTC
Convention Area. The IATTC
Convention Area is defined as waters of
the EPO within the area bounded by the
west coast of the Americas and by 50°
N latitude, 150° W longitude, and 50° S
latitude. The IATTC maintains a
scientific research and fishery

monitoring program and regularly
assesses the status of tuna, shark, and
billfish stocks in the EPO to determine
appropriate catch limits and other
measures to promote sustainable
fisheries and prevent overexploitation.
The text of the Antigua Convention
can be found here: https://
www.iattc.org/PDFFiles/IATTCInstruments/_English/IATTC_Antigua_
Convention%20Jun%202003.pdf.
International Obligations of the United
States Under the Convention
As a Party to the Antigua Convention
and a member of the IATTC, the United
States is legally bound to implement
decisions of the IATTC. The TCA, 16
U.S.C. 951 et seq., directs the Secretary
of Commerce, in consultation with the
Secretary of State and, with respect to
enforcement measures, the U.S. Coast
Guard, to promulgate such regulations
as may be necessary to carry out the
United States’ obligations under the
Antigua Convention, including
recommendations and decisions
adopted by the IATTC. The authority of
the Secretary of Commerce to
promulgate such regulations has been
delegated to NMFS. All resolutions
adopted by the IATTC can be found
online: https://iattc.org/
ResolutionsActiveENG.htm.
Pacific Bluefin Tuna Stock Status
In 2011, NMFS determined
overfishing was occurring on PBF (76
FR 28422, May 17, 2011), which is
considered a single Pacific-wide stock.
In 2013, based on the results of a stock
assessment conducted by the
International Scientific Committee for
Tuna and Tuna-like Species in the
North Pacific Ocean (ISC), NMFS
determined that PBF was not only
subject to overfishing, but was also
overfished (78 FR 41033, July 9, 2013).
Subsequently, based on the results of
the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 ISC
stock assessments, NMFS determined
that PBF continued to be overfished and
subject to overfishing (See 80 FR 12621,
March 10, 2015; 82 FR 18434, April 19,
2017; 84 FR 19905, May 7, 2019; 86 FR
9910, Feb. 17, 2021).
Since 2016, the IATTC and the
Northern Committee (NC) to the
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries
Commission (WCPFC) have held annual
joint working group meetings intended
to develop a Pacific-wide approach to
management of PBF. Joint IATTC–
WCPFC NC Working Group (JWG)
recommendations have included
establishing rebuilding targets and
criteria that must be met before
considering catch limit increases.
