(a) Two processes for taking management action are available to implement routine annual changes in management of fish stocks and fisheries within the Framework Review Process.

(1) Rulemaking Action: The commission may conduct a rulemaking action pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act including holding at least two or more commission meetings to hear, consider and approve measures affecting any aspect of management and fisheries, including direct allocation of a catch quota or an optimum yield, with adoption of regulations reflecting the commission's action.

(2) Prescribed action: A prescribed action is ministerial and may include a fishing season or gear closure when a harvest quota has been achieved or include other actions to meet sustainable management goals when the prescribed action is nondiscretionary and specifically provided for in existing regulation such that no further rulemaking under Subsection (a)(1) is required.

(b) Nothing in this section precludes the Director from exercising authority to take emergency action pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 7710, or of the commission to take emergency regulatory action under Section 11346.1 of the Government Code, or under Section 240 of the Fish and Game Code.
