Description:"This regulatory amendment would adjust TAC from the existing 7.57 million pounds (MP) to 5.68 MP. This decrease in TAC is in line with the goals and objectives of the Council's FMP for the management of this species. Resultant rulemaking would adjust the commercial quota to 4.32 MP given the 76:24 percent commercial and recreational allocation of red grouper. In addition, the amendment would require buoy gear floats to be marked as part of the revised definition of this gear to improve the enforceability of buoy gear regulations. The environmental assessment (EA) provides a review of the NEPA criteria for significant effects (40 CFR Part 1508.27) and NOAA Fisheries Service criteria for significance (NAO 216-6 Section 6.02), and concluded no significant effect on the quality of the human environment is anticipated from this action"--Cover letter.
