Description:

"This interim rule would reduce the commercial gag quota to 100,000 pounds for the 2011 fishing year, temporarily suspend the use of red grouper multi-use IFQ allocation so it cannot be used to harvest gag, and to temporarily halt the recreational harvest of gag until long-term recreational fishing management measures can be implemented to allow a harvest at appropriate levels. 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.
