| 2018-14071 | Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Nontrawl Lead Level 2 Observers | Rule | NMFS issues regulations to modify specific provisions of the North Pacific Observer Program. The first two elements of this final rule implement requirements for an observer to obtain a nontrawl lead level 2 (LL2) deployment endorsement and implement a pre-cruise meeting requirement for vessels required to carry an observer with a nontrawl LL2 deployment endorsement. These two elements are intended to increase the number of observers that qualify for a nontrawl LL2 deployment endorsement and maintain observer safety and data quality. The third element of this final rule removes duplicative and unnecessary reporting requirements and makes minor changes to reduce observer requirements for specific vessels when participating in the Western Alaska Community Development Quota (CDQ) Program. This action is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska, and the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area, and other applicable law. | 2018-06-29 | 2018 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/06/29/2018-14071/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-nontrawl-lead-level-2-observers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-06-29/pdf/2018-14071.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS issues regulations to modify specific provisions of the North Pacific Observer Program.
