An analysis of the alternatives for a proposed Arctic Fishery Management Plan. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council considered several alternatives to accomplish the intent to prevent unregulated fishing in the Arctic Management Area.
Analysis of proposed regulations to provide cooperatives and CDQ groups with an option to accomplish inter-cooperative transfers and crab individual processing quota transfers through automated, online submittals.
Under the BSAI crab rationalization program, allocations of IFQ to harvesters and IPQ to processors are binding. This action considers allowing harvesters and processors to engage in post-delivery transfer of their respective shares to cover overages.
This memorandum summarizes the determination that a proposed rule to implement online quota transfers qualifies to be categorically excluded from further NEPA review.
This memorandum summarizes the determination that Amendment 33 to the FMP for Bering Sea/Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crabs qualifies to be categorically excluded from further National Environmental Policy Act review.

Initial Review/Final Action for Amendment 33 to the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands King and Tanner Crab Fishery Management Plan to amend the cost recovery fee program.

This Assessment/Review/Analysis evaluates alternatives to amend the boundaries for the Aleutian Islands Habitat Conservation Area for essential fish habitat. The intent is to minimize the adverse effects of fishing in the Aleutian Islands subarea.
