Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; Annual Catch Limits; National Standard Guidelines
Document Number: 08-1328
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2008-06-09
Agency: Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
NMFS proposes revisions to the guidelines for National Standard 1 (NS1) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). This action is necessary to provide guidance on how to comply with new annual catch limit (ACL) and accountability measure (AM) requirements for ending overfishing of fisheries managed by federal fishery management plans (FMPs). It also clarifies the relationship between ACLs, maximum sustainable yield (MSY), optimum yield (OY), and other applicable reference points. The intent of this action is to facilitate compliance with requirements of the Magnuson- Stevens Act to end and prevent overfishing, rebuild overfished stocks and achieve OY.
