Description:

This EA/RIR/FRFA evaluates the environmental impacts, the costs and benefits, and the small entity impacts, of a proposed Amendment to the GOA Fishery Management Plan to change the way the total allowable catch (TAC) is determined for the “other species” complex. The analysis also examines alternatives for changing the calculation of “other species” complex maximum retainable amounts (MRAs) in directed fisheries. This EA/RIR/FRFA addresses the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, Presidential Executive Order 12866, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
