Description:"This action partially approves, and implements, 19 Northeast (NE) multispecies (groundfish) sector operations plans and contracts for fishing year 2012, and allocates quotas of NE multispecies to the sectors. This action does not approve certain exemptions and measures proposed in the operations plans. Approval of sector operations plans is necessary to allocate quota to the sectors and to grant the sectors regulatory exemptions. This provides vessels participating in sectors with increased operational flexibility while limiting overall fishing mortality. The environmental assessment determined that there would likely be negligible impacts to habitat, allocated species and non-allocated target species, a low negative impact to endangered and protected species, and a low positive impact on ports and sector participants"--Summary from cover letter.
