Description:"In this action, the National Marine Fisheries Service would modify BFT base quotas for all domestic fishing categories, establish BFT quota specifications for the 2011 fishing year, and adjust management measures regarding the Atlantic tuna fisheries (reinstate pelagic longline target catch requirements for retaining BFT in the Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area; allow the removal of tail lobes from Atlantic tunas; and clarify the transfer-at-sea regulations for Atlantic tunas). This action is necessary to implement recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (lCCAT) pursuant to the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act (ATCA) and to achieve domestic management objectives under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. This action is not expected to significantly alter current fishing practices or bycatch mortality rates, and would not be expected to change previously analyzed endangered species or marine mammal interaction rates or magnitudes, or affect critical habitat"--Cover letter; Portfolio comprised of two related PDF documents digitized and organized by: NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration (PPI) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) staff.
