Description:All changes to a Fishery Management Plan (FMP), even minor typographical changes, require an FMP amendment that is approved by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC or Council). The purpose of the action described in this analysis is to correct FMP text that is inconsistent with the Council’s intent of the license limitation program (LLP) and Federal regulations implementing the LLP. The proposed amendments do not require changes to Federal regulations. The amendments under consideration would align the FMP text that establishes the vessel size standards for exempting small vessels from the LLP in the BSAI groundfish and king and Tanner crab fisheries, as well as GOA groundfish fisheries, with the original intent of the LLP, current operations in the fisheries, and Federal regulations.
