• Description:
  This amendment addresses two issues related to Community Development Quota (CDQ) compensation shares for reductions in the amount of Pacific halibut and sablefish available for harvest with IFQs in CDQ areas, which resulted from allocations of those fishery resources to the CDQ program. This document analyzes the environmental, economic, and social impacts of the status quo (CDQ Block/Vessel Category Exemption, Alternative 1 and CDQ/IFQ One-Time Transfer, Alternative 1) and the proposed management actions (Block Exemption, Alternative 2 and One-Time Transfer, Alternatives 2 and 3) for modifying the halibut and sablefish CDQ compensation system by allowing a block exemption and one-time transfer of shares. This document is intended to comply with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Executive Order 12866.
