| 2017-20894 | Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Authorize Recreational Quota Entity To Participate in the Halibut IFQ Program | Proposed Rule | NMFS issues a proposed rule that would authorize formation of a recreational quota entity (RQE) that could participate in the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota Program in International Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Areas 2C and 3A in the Gulf of Alaska. The RQE would be authorized to purchase and hold a limited amount of commercial halibut quota share that would yield additional pounds of recreational fishing quota on an annual basis to augment the amount of halibut available for harvest in the charter halibut fishery. The RQE would provide a mechanism for a compensated reallocation of a portion of commercial halibut quota share to the charter halibut fishery. This proposed rule is necessary to promote social and economic flexibility in the charter halibut fishery, and is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982, and other applicable laws. | 2017-10-03 | 2017 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/10/03/2017-20894/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-authorize-recreational-quota-entity-to | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-10-03/pdf/2017-20894.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS issues a proposed rule that would authorize formation of a recreational quota entity (RQE) that could participate in the Pacific Halibut and Sablefish Individual Fishing Quota Program in International Pacific Halibut Commission Regulatory Areas 2C... | 0648-BG57 |
