• Description:
  For the United States, the Fisheries Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (P.L- 94-265) and its amendment by the American Fisheries Promotion Act of 1980 (P.L. 96-561) established the framework for the definition of the Total Allowable Levels of Foreign Fishing (TALFF's), their allocation among foreign nations, and the minimum level of fees to be charged. The TALFF for a fishery is determined annually on the basis of the prior year's TALFF adjusted by a reduction factor which depends, in part, on the projected domestic catch. That is, the TALFF's are determined by a rule directly linking the potential foreign catch to the domestic catch, which receives priority.
