| 2017-04959 | Fisheries of the Northeastern United States; Northeast Multispecies Fishery; Adjustment of Georges Bank and Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic Yellowtail Flounder Annual Catch Limits | Rule | This action transfers unused quota of Georges Bank and Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder from the Atlantic scallop fishery to the Northeast multispecies fishery for the remainder of the 2016 fishing year, which ends on April 30, 2017. This quota transfer is justified when the scallop fishery is not expected to catch its entire allocations of yellowtail flounder. The quota transfer is intended to provide additional fishing opportunities for groundfish vessels to help achieve the optimum yield for these stocks while ensuring sufficient amounts of yellowtail flounder are available for the scallop fishery. | 2017-03-14 | 2017 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/03/14/2017-04959/fisheries-of-the-northeastern-united-states-northeast-multispecies-fishery-adjustment-of-georges | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-03-14/pdf/2017-04959.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | This action transfers unused quota of Georges Bank and Southern New England/Mid-Atlantic yellowtail flounder from the Atlantic scallop fishery to the Northeast multispecies fishery for the remainder of the 2016 fishing year, which ends on April 30,... | 0648-XF21 |
