• Description:
  This document contains a Regulatory Impact Review (RIR) analyzing the potential impacts of a proposal to (1) reopen waters that have been closed to groundfish fishing to facilitate a now completed experiment on the impact of trawling on localized depletion of Pacific cod, and (2) eliminate obsolete references to the Cape Sarichef closure, and another closure at Chiniak Gully off Kodiak Island. The Chiniak Gully closure itself has ended under existing regulations. The analyses in this document address the requirements of Presidential Executive Order 12866.
