Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Impact Review/Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Addition of the City of Akutan to the List of Communities Eligible to Participate in the Community Development Quota Programs (CDQ), and the Rescission of the CDQ Regulations that Allow Scale Weight to be Used for Estimating Total Weight in the Pollock CDQ Fisheries

Details

• NOAA Program & Office:
  NMFS (National Marine Fisheries Service)
• Description:
  This regulatory amendment is in three parts. First, it would add the City of Akutan to the list of western Alaska communities eligible to participate in the pollock and halibut/sablefish (H/S) Community Development Quota (CDQ) programs. Since the implementation of the pollock CDQ program in 1992, and the HiS CDQ program in 1995, Akutan has been excluded from CDQ participation because it was determined that Akutan did not meet one of the four eligibility criteria. This exclusion was based on erroneous assumptions, therefore, the North Pacific fishery Management Council (NPFMC) has recommended to NMFS that Akutan be added to the list of eligible communities.
