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 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 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.
