Description:Commercial halibut fishing off the coast of Alaska is managed under an Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program implemented by Federal regulations under the authority of the Northern Pacific Halibut Act of 1982. One feature of the IFQ Program is a limit on the maximum amount of halibut that may be harvested by a vessel (herein referred to as vessel caps). This action temporarily removes IFQ halibut vessel caps for the remainder of the 2022 fishing year in IFQ regulatory areas 4A (Eastern Aleutian Islands), 4B (Central and Western Aleutian Islands), 4C (Central Bering Sea), and 4D (Eastern Bering Sea). This final rule does not modify other elements of the IFQ Program, nor does it increase or otherwise modify the 2022 halibut catch limits or any other conservation measures.
