Description:This Environmental Assessment/Regulatory Impact Review/Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (EA/RIR/IRFA) considers two changes to Steller sea lion protection measures adopted by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) in October 2001. Five alternatives are reviewed. Three of these are alternatives for the management of the Aleutian Islands pollock fishery, and two of these are alternatives for the management of Pacific cod pot gear fishing at two haulouts in the Gulf of Alaska. The Council acted on the Pacific cod portion of this analysis in October 2002, recommending the preferred alternative. Potential action on the Aleutian Islands pollock fishery will be considered after additional analysis is developed in the future. This EA/RIR/IRFA meets the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, Presidential Executive Order 12866, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
