| 2020-22659 | Atlantic Highly Migratory Species; Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Fisheries | Rule | NMFS transfers 40 metric tons (mt) of Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) quota from the Reserve category to the October through November 2020 General category subquota period and closes the General category fishery until the General category reopens on December 1, 2020. The quota transfer is intended to provide additional fishing opportunities based on consideration of the regulatory determination criteria regarding inseason adjustments and applies to Atlantic tunas General category (commercial) permitted vessels and Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/Headboat category permitted vessels with a commercial sale endorsement when fishing commercially for BFT. Given that the adjusted quota is projected to be caught quickly, the closure is being filed simultaneously to prevent overharvest of the adjusted General category October through November 2020 BFT subquota. | 2020-10-13 | 2020 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/13/2020-22659/atlantic-highly-migratory-species-atlantic-bluefin-tuna-fisheries | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-10-13/pdf/2020-22659.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS transfers 40 metric tons (mt) of Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) quota from the Reserve category to the October through November 2020 General category subquota period and closes the General category fishery until the General category reopens on... |
